^(C1)Jesus went away from there, and withdrew into the region of ^(C2)Tyre and ^(C2)Sidon.

And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, "Have mercy on me, Lord, ^(C1)Son of David; my daughter is severely ^(C2)demon-possessed."

But He did not answer her with even a word. And His disciples came up and urged Him, saying, "Send her away, because she keeps shouting ^(F1)at us!"

But He answered and said, "I was sent only to ^(C1)the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

But she came and ^(C1)began ^(F1)to bow down before Him, saying, "Lord, help me!"

Yet He answered and said, "It is not ^(F1)good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

And she said, "Yes, Lord; but please help, for even the dogs feed on the crumbs that fall from their masters' table."

Then Jesus said to her, "O woman, ^(C1)your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you desire." And her daughter was healed ^(F1)at once.
