*
From there he arose and went away to the region of Tyre and Sidon .
And he entered a house ,
and did not want anyone to know it ;
yet he could not be hidden .
*
But a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit heard about him ,
and she came and fell at his feet .
*
Now the woman was a Greek ,
a Syrophoenician by birth .
And she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter .
*
And he said to her , »
Let the children first be fed ,
for it is not right to take the children
s bread and throw it to the dogs .«
*
But she answered him , »
Yes ,
Lord ,
yet even the dogs under the table eat the children '
s crumbs .«
*
Then he said to her , »
For this saying you may go your way ;
the demon has left your daughter .«
*
She went home ,
and found her child lying on the bed ,
and the demon gone .
