Mark 7:24-29

New American Standard Bible

The Syrophoenician Woman

^24 (A)Now Jesus got up and went from there to the region of ^(B)Tyre^[a]. And when He had entered a house, He wanted no one to know about it; and yet He could not escape notice. ²⁵ But after hearing about Him, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately came and fell at His feet. ²⁶ Now the woman was a ^[b]Gentile, of Syrophoenician descent. And she repeatedly asked Him to cast the demon out of her daughter. ²⁷ And He was saying to her, “Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not ^[c]good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the ^[d]dogs.” ²⁸ But she answered and *said to Him, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs under the table feed on the children’s crumbs.” ²⁹ And He said to her, “Because of this ^[e]answer, go; the demon has gone out of your daughter.”
