(24)And rising up he departed thence into the borders of Tyre and Sidon; and entering into a house, he desired that no one should know it. And he could not be hidden. (25)For a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, hearing of him, came and fell at his feet. (26)The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast out the demon from her daughter. (27)And he said to her: Let the children first be filled; for it is not good to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs. (28)And she answered and said to him: Yea, Lord; for the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. (29)And he said to her: For this saying go thy way; the demon has gone out of thy daughter. (30)And departing to her house, she found the little child laid on the bed, and the demon gone out. (31)And again going forth out of the borders of Tyre, he came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis. (32)And they bring to him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him. (33)And taking him aside from the multitude he put his fingers into his ears, and spitting, touched his tongue, (34)and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and says to him: Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. (35)And straightway his ears were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly. (36)And he charged them that they should tell no one. But the more he charged them, the more abundantly they published it; (37)and were beyond measure astonished, saying: He has done all things well; he makes both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak. VIII. IN those days, there being a very great multitude, and they having nothing to eat, he called to him his disciples, and says to them: (2)I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat; (3)and if I dismiss them fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way; and some of them have come from afar. (4)And his disciples answered him: From whence will one be able to satisfy these men with bread, here in a wilderness? (5)And he asked them: How many loaves have ye? And they said: Seven. (6)And he commanded the multitude to lie down on the ground. And he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and broke, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude. (7)And they had a few small fishes; and having blessed them, he commanded to set these also before them. (8)And they ate, and were filled; and they took up of the fragments that were left seven baskets. (9)And they were about four thousand. And he dismissed them.
