The Syrophoenician Women
Mark 7: 24-30
The Actual Story (New American Gospel)
24: From that place he went off to the district of Tyre. He entered a house and wanted no one to know about it, but he could not escape notice.
25: Soon a woman whose daughter had an unclean spirit heard about him. She came and fell at his feet.
26: The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth, and she begged him to drive the demon out of her daughter.
27: He said to her, “Let the children be fed first. For it is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs.”
28: She replied and said to him, “Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children’s scraps.”
29: Then he said to her, “For saying this, you may go. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
30: When the woman went home, she found the child lying in bed and the demon gone.
