[7:24] Then Jesus left and went away to the territory near the city of Tyre. He went into a house and did not want anyone to know he was there, but he could not stay hidden.
[7:25] A woman, whose daughter had an evil spirit in her, heard about Jesus and came to him at once and fell at his feet.
[7:26] The woman was a Gentile, born in the region of Phoenicia in Syria. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.
[7:27] But Jesus answered, “Let us first feed the children. It isn't right to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs.”
[7:28] “Sir,” she answered, “even the dogs under the table eat the children's leftovers!”
[7:29] So Jesus said to her, “Because of that answer, go back home, where you will find that the demon has gone out of your daughter!”
[7:30] She went home and found her child lying on the bed; the demon had indeed gone out of her.
