* Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon . * And behold , a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him , saying , "Have mercy on me , O Lord , Son of David ! My daughter is severely demon-possessed ." * But He answered her not a word . And His disciples came and urged Him , saying , "Send her away , for she cries out after us ." * But He answered and said , "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel ." * Then she came and worshiped Him , saying , "Lord , help me !" * But He answered and said , "It is not good to take the children 's bread and throw it to the little dogs ." * And she said , "Yes , Lord , yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters ' table ." * Then Jesus answered and said to her , "O woman , great is your faith ! Let it be to you as you desire ." And her daughter was healed from that very hour .
