*
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 .
*
Jesus departed from there ,
skirted the Sea of Galilee ,
and went up on the mountain and sat down there .
