Mark 7:27 in context

  1. 25But straightway 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. And she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter.
  3. 27And he said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread and cast it to the dogs.
  4. 28But she answered and saith unto him, Yea, Lord; even the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.
  5. 29And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the demon is gone out of thy daughter.
