Mark 7 — Context

25

But a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having had news of him, came straight away and went down at his feet.

26

Now the woman was a Greek, a Syro-phoenician by birth: and she made a request to him that he would send the evil spirit out of her daughter.

27

And he said to her, Let the children first have their food: for it is not right to take the children's bread and give it to the dogs.

28

But she said to him in answer, Yes, Lord: even the dogs under the table take the bits dropped by the children.

29

And he said to her, For this saying go your way; the evil spirit has gone out of your daughter.

30

And she went away to her house, and saw the child on the bed, and the evil spirit gone out.

31

And again he went out from Tyre, and came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the country of Decapolis.
