Mark 7:24-30

Modern English Version

The Syrophoenician Woman’s Faith^(A)

²⁴ From there He arose and went to the region of Tyre and Sidon. He entered a house and would have no one know it. Yet He could not be hidden. ²⁵ For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of Him, and came and fell at His feet. ²⁶ The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she begged Him to cast the demon out of her daughter.

²⁷ Jesus said to her, “Let the children first be filled. For it is not fitting to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”

²⁸ She answered, “Yes, Lord. Yet the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

²⁹ Then He said to her, “For this answer, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”

³⁰ When she had come to her house, she found the demon had gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.
