21 Jesus left that place and went to the country of Tyre and Sidon. 22A woman of the people of Canaan was in that country. She called out, Sir, you are the Son of David. Help me! My daughter is being troubled very much by a bad spirit.

22 Jesus did not answer her. His disciples came to him and said, Send her away. She keeps calling after us.

23 He said, I was sent only to the people of Israel. They are like lost sheep.

24 But the woman came and bowed down in front of Jesus and worshipped him. She said, Sir, help me.

25 He said, It is not right to take the childrens food and give it to the little dogs.

26 She answered, Yes, sir. But even the little dogs eat the food that falls from the tables of their masters.

27 Then Jesus answered, Woman, you believe very much. The thing you want me to do will be done. And her daughter was healed at that very time.

28 Jesus went on from there along the Sea of Galilee. He went up on a hill and sat down there.
