Mk 7:25-30:"For
a certain woman, whose young daughter
had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and
came and fell at his feet: The woman was
a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and
she besought him that he would cast
forth the devil out of her daughter.
But Jesus said
unto her, Let the children first be
filled: for it is not meet to take the
children's bread, and to cast it unto
the dogs. And she answered and said unto
him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the
table eat of the children's crumbs. And
he said unto her, For this saying go thy
way; the devil is gone out of thy
daughter. And when she was come to her
house, she found the devil gone out, and
her daughter laid upon the bed.".
Mt 15:22-29:
"And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out
of the same coasts, and cried unto him,
saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou
son of David; my daughter is grievously
vexed with a devil. But he answered her
not a word. And his disciples came and
besought him, saying, Send her away; for
she crieth after us. But he answered
and said, I am not sent but unto the
lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then
came she and worshipped him, saying,
Lord, help me. But he answered and said,
It is not meet to take the children's
bread, and to cast it to dogs. And she
said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of
the crumbs which fall from their
masters' table. Then Jesus answered and
said unto her, O woman, great is thy
faith: be it unto thee even as thou
wilt. And her daughter was made whole
from that very hour".
