The Syrophoenician woman

Mark 7:24-30
24And getting up from there, he went away into the region of Tyre. And he entered into a house and wanted no one to know it, and he could not escape notice. 25But at once a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard about him, came and fell at his feet. 26Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth; and she was asking him to drive the demon out of her daughter. 27And he was saying to her, “Let the children be fed first, for it is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.” 28But she answered and says to him, “Lord, even the little dogs under the table eat from the children’s crumbs.” 29And he said to her, “Because of this word, go; the demon has gone out of your daughter.” 30And going away to her home, she found the child lying on the bed and the demon gone out.
21And going out from there, Jesus withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22And look, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and was crying out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is badly demon-possessed.” 23But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and were urging him, saying, “Send her away, for she is crying out after us.” 24But he answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” 25But she came and was bowing down before him, saying, “Lord, help me.” 26But he answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.” 27But she said, “Yes, Lord; for even the little dogs eat from the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.” 28Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.

To study Mark 7 in a group
1. What it says
What do the Pharisees and scribes criticize Jesus' disciples for, and how does he respond (vv. 5–8)?
2. What it means
Why does Jesus say that what comes out of the heart is what makes a person unclean (vv. 20–23)?
