Mark 7:25

Parents and childrenPrayer

23 All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.”

24 Jesus left that place and went to the region of Tyre. Not wanting anyone to know He was there, He entered a house, but was unable to escape their notice.

Instead, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit soon heard about Jesus, and she came and fell at His feet.

26 Now she was a Greek woman of Syrophoenician origin, and she kept asking Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.

27 “First let the children have their fill,” He said. “For it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
