In fact, a woman whose young daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit heard about him right away. She came and fell at his feet. The woman was Greek, Syrophoenician by birth. She begged Jesus to throw the demon out of her daughter. He responded, \\u201cThe children have to be fed first. It isn\\u2019t right to take the children\\u2019s bread and toss it to the dogs.\\u201d\\nBut she answered, \\u201cLord, even the dogs under the table eat the children\\u2019s crumbs.\\u201d\\n\\u201cGood answer!\\u201d he said. \\u201cGo on home. The demon has already left your daughter.\\u201d When she returned to her house, she found the child lying on the bed and the demon gone.\\nAfter leaving the region of Tyre, Jesus went through Sidon toward the Galilee Sea through the region of the Ten Cities.\\xa0 Some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly speak, and they begged him to place his hand on the man for healing. Jesus took him away from the crowd by himself and put his fingers in the man\\u2019s ears. Then he spit and touched the man\\u2019s tongue. Looking into heaven, Jesus sighed deeply and said, \\u201cEphphatha,\\u201d which means, \\u201cOpen up.\\u201d At once, his ears opened, his twisted tongue was released, and he began to speak clearly.\\nJesus gave the people strict orders not to tell anyone. But the more he tried to silence them, the more eagerly they shared the news. People were overcome with wonder, saying, \\u201cHe does everything well! He even makes the deaf to hear and gives speech to those who can\\u2019t speak.\\u201d\\nThe post Immigrants are healed & Jesus changes his mind \\u2013 Mark 7:24-37 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
