Jesus Honors a Syrophoenician Woman’s Faith^{#cen-NIV-24488A" title="See cross-reference A - A )'>}

²⁴Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret. ²⁵In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an impure spirit^{#cen-NIV-24489C" title="See cross-reference C - C )'>} came and fell at his feet. ²⁶The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.

²⁷“First let the children eat all they want,” he told her, “for it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

²⁸“Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

²⁹Then he told her, “For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter.”

³⁰She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.

²¹Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.^{#cen-NIV-23655B" title="See cross-reference B - B )'>} ²²A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David,^{#cen-NIV-23656C" title="See cross-reference C - C )'>} have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”^{#cen-NIV-23656D" title="See cross-reference D - D )'>}

²³Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”

²⁴He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”^{#cen-NIV-23658E" title="See cross-reference E - E )'>}

²⁵The woman came and knelt before him.^{#cen-NIV-23659F" title="See cross-reference F - F )'>} “Lord, help me!” she said.

²⁶He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

²⁷“Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”

²⁸Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith!^{#cen-NIV-23662G" title="See cross-reference G - G )'>} Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.
