*
And ,
behold ,
a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts ,
and cried unto him ,
saying ,
Have mercy on me ,
O Lord ,
thou Son of David ;
my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil .
*
But he answered her not a word .
And his disciples came and besought him ,
saying ,
Send her away ;
for she crieth after us .
*
But he answered and said ,
I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel .
*
Then came she and worshipped him ,
saying ,
Lord ,
help me .
*
But he answered and said ,
It is not meet to take the children '
s bread ,
and to cast it to dogs .
*
And she said ,
Truth ,
Lord :
yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters '
table .
*
Then Jesus answered and said unto her ,
O woman ,
great is thy faith :
be it unto thee even as thou wilt .
And her daughter was made whole from that very hour .
