7:25For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:

7:26The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.

7:27But 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.

7:28And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.

7:29And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.

7:30And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
