Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Mark 7
²⁵ For a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard about Him, and she came and fell at His feet.
²⁶ The woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician by birth, and she kept asking 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.
³¹ Again, departing from the region of Tyre and Sidon, He came through the midst of the region of Decapolis to the Sea of Galilee.
³² Then they brought to Him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech, and they begged Him to put His hand on him.
³³ And He took him aside from the multitude, and put His fingers in his ears, and He spat and touched his tongue.
³⁴ Then, looking up to heaven, He sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened."
³⁵ Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.
