			And he entered a house,
			and would not have any one know it;
			to Bethsaida,
			yet he could not be hid.
22	And behold,	25	But immediately
	a Canaanite woman		a woman,
	from that region
	came out
	and cried,
	"Have mercy on me,
	O Lord, Son of David;
	my daughter is severely possessed		whose little daughter was possessed
	by a demon."		by an unclean spirit,
			heard of him,
23	But he did not answer her a word.
	And his disciples came
	and begged him,
	saying,
	"Send her away,
	for she is crying after us."
24	He answered,
	"I was sent only to the lost sheep
	of the house of Israel."
25	But she came		and came
	and knelt before him,		and fell down at his feet.
		26	Now the woman was a Greek,
			a Syrophoenician by birth.
	saying, "Lord, help me."		And she begged him
			to cast the demon
			out of her daughter.
26	And he answered,	27	And he said to her,
			"Let the children first be fed,
	"It is not fair		for it is not right
	to take the children's bread		to take the children's bread
	and throw it to the dogs."		and throw it to the dogs."
27	She said,	28	But she answered him,
	"Yes, Lord;		"Yes, Lord;
	yet even the dogs		yet even the dogs
			under the table*
	eat the crumbs		eat the children's crumbs."
	that fall
	from their masters' table."*
28	Then Jesus answered her,	29	And he said to her,
	"O woman,
	great is your faith!
			"For this saying
			you may go your way;
	Be it done for you as you desire."		the demon has left your daughter."
	And	30	And she went home,
	her daughter		and found the child
			lying in bed,
	was healed instantly.		and the demon gone.
