²⁴ And rising from thence he went into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon: and entering into a house, he would that no man should know it, and he could not be hid.

²⁵ For a woman as soon as she heard of him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, came in and fell down at his feet.

²⁶ For the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophenician born. And she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.

²⁷ Who said to her: Suffer first the children to be filled: for it is not good to take the bread of the children, and cast it to the dogs.

²⁸ But she answered and said to him: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat under the table of the crumbs of the children.

²⁹ And he said to her: For this saying go thy way, the devil is gone out of thy daughter.

³⁰ And when she was come into her house, she found the girl lying upon the bed, and that the devil was gone out.
