24 Yeshua left that place and went up north into the regions of Tyre and Tsidon. He tried to enter a house without being noticed but didn’t succeed, 25 and straight away a woman who had heard about him turned up. She knelt in front of him because she had a little daughter who was demon-possessed. 26 The woman was Greek from Phoenicia in Syria and she begged Yeshua to command the demon to leave her daughter. 27 “Let the Jewish children be treated first,” he replied, “because it’s not good to take the children’s food and throw it to the dogs.”

28 “Yes, master,” she responded, “but the puppies under the table do get to eat the little crumbs that the children drop.”

29 “Ha, go home now” he answered, “As a result of how you just spoke, the demon has already left your daughter.”

30 And when she got home, the demon had indeed gone and her little girl was lying quietly on her bed.
