*
And behold ,
a Canaanite woman from that region came out and cried , "
Have mercy on me ,
O Lord ,
Son of David ;
my daughter is severely possessed by a demon ."
*
But he did not answer her a word .
And his disciples came and begged him ,
saying , "
Send her away ,
for she is crying after us ."
*
He answered , "
I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel ."
*
But she came and knelt before him ,
saying , "
Lord ,
help me ."
*
And he answered , "
It is not fair to take the children '
s bread and throw it to the dogs ."
*
She said , "
Yes ,
Lord ,
yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters '
table ."
*
Then Jesus answered her , "
O woman ,
great is your faith !
Be it done for you as you desire ."
And her daughter was healed instantly .
*
And Jesus went on from there and passed along the Sea of Galilee .
And he went up on the mountain ,
and sat down there .
