21. And departing from there, Jesus withdrew into the areas of Tyre and Sidon.
22. And behold, a woman of Canaan, going out from those parts, cried out, saying to him: "Take pity on me, Lord, Son of David. My daughter is badly afflicted by a demon."
23. He did not say a word to her. And his disciples, drawing near, petitioned him, saying: "Dismiss her, for she is crying out after us."
24. And responding, he said, "I was not sent except to the sheep who have fallen away from the house of Israel."
25. But she approached and adored him, saying, "Lord, help me."
26. And responding, he said, "It is not good to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs."
27. But she said, "Yes, Lord, but the young dogs also eat from the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters."
28. Then Jesus, responding, said to her: "O woman, great is your faith. Let it be done for you just as you wish." And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
29. And when Jesus had passed from there, he arrived beside the sea of Galilee. And ascending onto a mountain, he sat down there.
30. And great multitudes came to him, having with them the mute, the blind, the lame, the disabled, and many others. And they cast them down at his feet, and he cured them,
31. so much so that the crowds wondered, seeing the mute speaking, the lame walking, the blind seeing. And they magnified the God of Israel.
32. And Jesus, calling together his disciples, said: "I have compassion on the crowds, because they have persevered with me now for three days, and they do not have anything to eat. And I am not willing to dismiss them, fasting, lest they faint along the way."
33. And the disciples said to him: "From where, then, in the desert, would we obtain enough bread to satisfy so a great multitude?"
34. And Jesus said to them, "How many loaves of bread do you have?" But they said, "Seven, and a few little fish."
35. And he instructed the crowds to recline upon the ground.
