Mark 7:24-30 Part 1 of 2

    Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret. In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an impure spirit came and fell at his feet. The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.

    "First let the children eat all they want," he told her, "for it is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to the dogs."

    "Lord," she replied, "even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."

    Then he told her, "For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter."

    She went home and found her child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.    

 

Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret.

Matthew 15:21  

    Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.

Matthew 11:21  

"Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes."  (see Matthew 11:20-24)

Joel 3:4  

    "Now what have you against me, Tyre and Sidon and all you regions of Philistia? Are you repaying me for something I have done? If you are paying me back, I will swiftly and speedily return on your own heads what you have done."  

(see Joel 3:1-8)

Amos 1:9-10  

This is what the LORD says:

"For three sins of Tyre,

    even for four, I will not relent.

Because she sold whole communities of captives to Edom,

    disregarding a treaty of brotherhood,

I will send fire on the walls of Tyre

    that will consume her fortresses."

 

In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an impure spirit came and fell at his feet. The woman was a Greek, born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter. 

Matthew 15:22-23  

A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly."
