Mark 7:27 in context

  1. 25For a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.
  2. 26Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
  3. 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.”
  4. 28But she answered him, “Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”
  5. 29He said to her, “For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
