Syro-Phoenician’s Daughter is Healed
24 aFrom there He arose and went to the region of Tyre 8and Sidon. And He entered a house and wanted no one to know it, but He could not be bhidden. 25 For a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard about Him, and she came and cfell at His feet. 26 The woman was a 9Greek, a 1Syro-Phoenician by birth, and she kept 2asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter. 27 But Jesus said to her, “Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.”
28 And she answered and said to Him, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children’s crumbs.”
29 Then He said to her, “For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter.”
30 And when she had come to her house, she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.
About The New King James VersionThe New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study. |
