007:024 From there he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre
and Sidon. He entered into a house, and didn't want anyone
to know it, but he couldn't escape notice.
007:025 For a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit,
having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.
007:026 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race.
She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.
007:027 But Jesus said to her, "Let the children be filled first,
for it is not appropriate to take the children's bread
and throw it to the dogs."
007:028 But she answered him, "Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under
the table eat the children's crumbs."
007:029 He said to her, "For this saying, go your way. The demon has
gone out of your daughter."
007:030 She went away to her house, and found the child having been
laid on the bed, with the demon gone out.
007:031 Again he departed from the borders of Tyre and Sidon,
and came to the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the
region of Decapolis.
007:032 They brought to him one who was deaf and had an impediment
in his speech. They begged him to lay his hand on him.
007:033 He took him aside from the multitude, privately, and put his
fingers into his ears, and he spat, and touched his tongue.
007:034 Looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha!"
that is, "Be opened!"
007:035 Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his
tongue was released, and he spoke clearly.
007:036 He commanded them that they should tell no one, but the more
he commanded them, so much the more widely they proclaimed it.
007:037 They were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all
things well. He makes even the deaf hear, and the mute speak!"
008:001 In those days, when there was a very great multitude, and they
had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to himself,
and said to them,
008:002 "I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed
with me now three days, and have nothing to eat.
008:003 If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint
on the way, for some of them have come a long way."
008:004 His disciples answered him, "From where could one satisfy
these people with bread here in a deserted place?"
008:005 He asked them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven."
008:006 He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground,
and he took the seven loaves. Having given thanks,
he broke them, and gave them to his disciples to serve,
and they served the multitude.
008:007 They had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said
to serve these also.
008:008 They ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken
pieces that were left over.
008:009 Those who had eaten were about four thousand.
