Jesus Helps a Gentile Woman^(A)

²⁴ Jesus left that place and went to the area around Tyre^[a] [^Ca Gentile city on the coast north of Israel]. When he went into a house, he did not want anyone to know he was there, but he could not stay hidden. ²⁵ A woman whose daughter had an ·evil [defiling; ^Lunclean] spirit in her heard that he was there. So she ·quickly [immediately] came to Jesus and ·fell [bowed] at his feet. ²⁶ She was ·Greek [a Gentile; ^C“Greek” is sometimes used for any non-Jew; Rom. 1:16], born in Phoenicia, in Syria. She ·begged [kept asking] Jesus to ·force [drive; cast] the demon out of her daughter.
