Context Reading
24From there he arose and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. He entered into a house and didn’t want anyone to know it, but he couldn’t escape notice. 25For a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet. 26Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter. 27But Jesus said to her,“Let the children be filled first, for it is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” 28But she answered him, “Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
