156:1.1 There lived near the [[home]] of Karuska, where [[the Master]] lodged, a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syria Syrian] [[woman]] who had heard much of [[Jesus]] as a great [[healer]] and [[teacher]], and on this [[Sabbath]] afternoon she came over, bringing her little daughter. The [[child]], about twelve years old, was [[afflicted]] with a grievous [[nervous]] disorder characterized by convulsions and other distressing [[manifestations]].[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_mark#Chapter_7]
156:1.2 [[Jesus]] had charged his [[associates]] to tell no one of his [[presence]] at the [[home]] of Karuska, [[explaining]] that he [[desired]] to have a [[rest]]. While they had [[obeyed]] their Master's instructions, the servant of Karuska had gone over to the house of this Syrian [[woman]], Norana, to inform her that [[Jesus]] lodged at the [[home]] of her mistress and had urged this [[anxious]] [[mother]] to bring her afflicted daughter for [[healing]]. This [[mother]], of course, [[believed]] that her [[child]] was [[possessed]] by a [[demon]], an unclean spirit.
156:1.3 When Norana arrived with her daughter, the [[Alpheus twins]] [[explained]] through an [[interpreter]] that [[the Master]] was [[resting]] and could not be disturbed; whereupon Norana replied that she and the child would remain right there until [[the Master]] had finished his [[rest]]. [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] also endeavored to reason with her and to [[persuade]] her to go [[home]]. He [[explained]] that [[Jesus]] was weary with much [[teaching]] and [[healing]], and that he had come to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenicia Phoenicia] for a period of [[quiet]] and [[rest]]. But it was futile; Norana would not leave. To [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]]'s entreaties she replied only: " I will not depart until I have seen your Master. I know he can cast the [[demon]] out of my child, and I will not go until the [[healer]] has looked upon my daughter. "
156:1.4 Then [[Thomas, the Apostle|Thomas]] sought to send the [[woman]] away but met only with failure. To him she said: " I have [[faith]] that your Master can cast out this [[demon]] which torments my child. I have heard of his mighty [[works]] in [[Galilee]], and I believe in him. What has happened to you, his [[disciples]], that you would send away those who come seeking your Master's help? " And when she had thus spoken, [[Thomas, the Apostle|Thomas]] withdrew.
156:1.5 Then came forward [[Simon Zelotes]] to remonstrate with Norana. Said Simon: " [[Woman]], you are a [[Greek]]-speaking [[gentile]]. It is not right that you should [[expect]] [[the Master]] to take the bread intended for the [[children]] of the [[favored]] household and cast it to the dogs. " But Norana refused to take [[offense]] at Simon's thrust. She replied only: " Yes, teacher, I [[understand]] your [[words]]. I am only a dog in the eyes of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews Jews], but as concerns your Master, I am a believing dog. I am [[determined]] that he shall see my daughter, for I am persuaded that, if he shall but look upon her, he will [[heal]] her. And even you, my [[good]] man, would not dare to deprive the dogs of the [[privilege]] of obtaining the crumbs which [[chance]] to fall from the children's table. "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_matthew#Chapter_15]
156:1.6 At just this time the little girl was seized with a [[violent]] [[convulsion]] before them all, and the [[mother]] cried out: " There, you can see that my child is [[possessed]] by an [[evil]] spirit. If our need does not impress you, it would [[appeal]] to your Master, who I have been told [[loves]] all men and [[dares]] even to heal the [[gentiles]] when they believe. You are not [[worthy]] to be his disciples. I will not go until my child has been [[cured]]. "
156:1.7 [[Jesus]], who had heard all of this [[conversation]] through an open window, now came outside, much to their [[surprise]], and said: " O [[woman]], great is your faith, so great that I cannot withhold that which you desire; go your way in peace. Your daughter already has been made whole. "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_matthew#Chapter_15]And the little girl was well from that hour. As Norana and the [[child]] took leave, [[Jesus]] entreated them to tell no one of this occurrence; and while his associates did comply with this request, the [[mother]] and the [[child]] ceased not to [[proclaim]] the [[fact]] of the little girl's [[healing]] throughout all the countryside and even in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidon Sidon], so much so that [[Jesus]] found it advisable to [[change]] his lodgings within a few days.
156:1.8 The next day, as [[Jesus]] taught his [[apostles]], commenting on the [[cure]] of the daughter of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syria Syrian] [[woman]], he said: " And so it has been all the way along; you see for yourselves how the [[gentiles]] are able to [[exercise]] saving [[faith]] in the teachings of the [[gospel]] of [[the kingdom]] of heaven. Verily, verily, I tell you that [[the Father]]'s kingdom shall be taken by the [[gentiles]] if the [http://books.google.com/books?id=Zu6EAAAACAAJ&dq=children+of+Abraham&hl=en&ei=cHm0Tb_NFdGhtwe5krjqDg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAQ children of Abraham] are not minded to show [[faith]] enough to enter therein.
