The Syrophoenician Woman
21 After leaving there, Jesus withdrew to the district of [a]Tyre and Sidon.(A) 22 And a [b]Canaanite woman from that district came out and began to cry out [urgently], saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David (Messiah); my daughter is cruelly possessed by a demon.” 23 But He did not say a word in answer to her. And His disciples came and asked Him [repeatedly], “Send her away, because she keeps shouting out after us.”
