24 Jesus went to the territory of Tyre and Sidon. He did not want anyone to know that he was staying in a house there. However it could not be kept a secret.
25 A woman whose little daughter had an evil spirit heard about Jesus. She went to him and bowed down.
26 The woman was a Greek Syrophoenician by race. She wanted him to drive out the demon out of her daughter.
27 He said to her: »Let the children be fed first. It is not proper to take the childrens bread and cast it to the dogs.«
28 She answered: »Yes Lord, even the dogs under the table eat from the childrens crumbs.«
29 Then he replied: »Thanks to your answer you may leave for the demon has gone out of your daughter.«
30 She went to her house and found the child on the bed with the demon gone.
