THE PHOENICIAN RETIREMENT AND THE GENTILE CURE.

And Jesus went out thence, and withdrew into the parts of Tyre and

Sidon.

And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it; and he

could not be hid. But straightway a woman, whose little daughter had

an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his

feet. Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race.

And she cried, saying, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David;

my daughter is grievously vexed with a demon."

But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought

him, saying, "Send her away, for she crieth after us."

But he answered and said, "I was not sent but unto the lost sheep of

the house of Israel."
