  1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to the saints who are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus:

  2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

  3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

  4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without defect before him in love,

  5 having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,

  6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely gave us favor in the Beloved,

  7 in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

  8 which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,

  9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him

- Gospel

  Mark 7:24–30

  **Show the text**

  24 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.

  25 For a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.

  26 Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. She begged him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter.

  27 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.”

  28 But she answered him, “Yes, Lord. Yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

  29 He said to her, “For this saying, go your way. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”

  30 She went away to her house, and found the child having been laid on the bed, with the demon gone out.
