* After he rose and left that place , he went away into the region of Tyre and Sidon . Here he went into a house and wished no one to know it but he could not be hid . * Forthwith a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit , heard of him , and came and fell at his feet * (the woman was a Greek , a Syro-phoenician by race ), and again and again she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter . * "Let the children be filled first ," he said to her . "It is unseemly to take the childrens bread and throw it to the dogs ." * "True , Master ," she answered , "but the dogs under the table do pick up the childrens crumbs ." * "For that saying of yours , go home ," he replied ; "the demon has departed from your daughter ." * So she went home , and found the child lying in her bed and the demon departed .
