Old Testament

Mark 7:24-30
The Faith of a Gentile Woman
24Jesus got up and went from there to the region of Tyre and Sidon. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it, but he could not remain hidden. 25Instead, when a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit heard about him, she immediately came and fell down at his feet. 26This woman was a Greek, of Syro-Phoenician origin. She asked him to drive the demon out of her daughter.
27Jesus said to her, “Let the children be fed first, because it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to their little dogs.”
28“Lord,” she answered, “their little dogs under the table also eat some of the children's crumbs.”
29Then he said to her, “Because of this statement, go! The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
30She went home, found the child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.
