Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

A Gentile Mother’s Faith

²¹ When Jesus left there,^(A) he withdrew to the area of Tyre and Sidon.^{(B) 22} Just then a Canaanite woman from that region came and kept crying out,^[a] ‘Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely tormented by a demon.’^(C)

²³ Jesus did not say a word to her. His disciples^(D) approached him and urged him, ‘Send her away because she’s crying out after us.’
