21 And Jesus going thence, retired to the coast of Tyre and Sidon.

22 And behold a woman of Canaan, of those coasts, came and cried to him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David: my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away, for she crieth after us.

24 But he answering said, I am not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

25 Then came she and worshiped him, saying, Lord, help me.

26 But he answering said, It is not right, to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs.

27 And she said, True, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their master's table.

28 And Jesus answering said to her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee as thou wilt. And her daughter was healed from that hour.
