but, straightway, a woman hearing about him, whose daughter had an impure spirit, she came and fell down at his feet.

Now, the woman, was a Grecian, a Syrophoenician by race, - and she was requesting him that, the demon, he would cast forth out of her daughter.

And he was saying to her - Suffer, the children, first, to be fed; for it is not seemly to take the bread of the children, and, unto the little dogs, to cast it;

but she answered and saith to him - Yea, Lord! and yet, the little dogs under the table, do eat of the crumbs of the children;

and he said to her - Because of this word, go thy way, the demon hath gone forth out of thy daughter;

and, departing unto her house, she found the child laid prostrate on the couch, and the demon gone forth.
