21
Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and
Sidon. 22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same
coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son
of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.23 But he answered
her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send
her away; for she crieth after us.24 But he answered and said, I am not
sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.25 Then came she and
worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26
But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread,
and to cast it to dogs.27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the
crumbs which fall from their masters' table.28 Then Jesus answered and
said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou
wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
John 12 23 And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that
the Son of man should be glorified.24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except
a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it
bringeth forth much fruit.25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that
hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.26 If any man serve
me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if
any man serve me, him will my Father honour.27 Now is my soul troubled;
and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause
came I unto this hour.28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice
from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. 29 The
people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others
said, An angel spake to him.30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came
not because of me, but for your sakes.31 Now is the judgment of this
world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.32 And I, if I be lifted
up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. 33 This he said, signifying
what death he should die.
