The Jesuit order was restored by Pope
Pius VII on this day in 1814. Pope
Clement XIV reluctantly suppressed it in
1773 due to threats from monarchies in
France and Spain. Founded in 1540,
the Jesuits have over 20,000 priests.

| 21. | And Jesus went from thence, and retired into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. | Et egressus inde Jesus secessit in partes Tyri et Sidonis. | και εξελθων εκειθεν ο ιησους ανεχωρησεν εις τα μερη τυρου και σιδωνος |
| 22. | And behold a woman of Canaan who came out of those coasts, crying out, said to him: Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David: my daughter is grieviously troubled by the devil. | Et ecce mulier chananæa a finibus illis egressa clamavit, dicens ei : Miserere mei, Domine fili David : filia mea male a dæmonio vexatur. | και ιδου γυνη χαναναια απο των οριων εκεινων εξελθουσα εκραυγασεν αυτω λεγουσα ελεησον με κυριε υιε δαυιδ η θυγατηρ μου κακως δαιμονιζεται |
| 23. | Who answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying: Send her away, for she crieth after us: | Qui non respondit ei verbum. Et accedentes discipuli ejus rogabant eum dicentes : Dimitte eam : quia clamat post nos. | ο δε ουκ απεκριθη αυτη λογον και προσελθοντες οι μαθηται αυτου ηρωτων αυτον λεγοντες απολυσον αυτην οτι κραζει οπισθεν ημων |
| 24. | And he answering, said: I was not sent but to the sheep that are lost of the house of Israel. | Ipse autem respondens ait : Non sum missus nisi ad oves, quæ perierunt domus Israël. | ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν ουκ απεσταλην ει μη εις τα προβατα τα απολωλοτα οικου ισραηλ |
| 25. | But she came and adored him, saying: Lord, help me. | At illa venit, et adoravit eum, dicens : Domine, adjuva me. | η δε ελθουσα προσεκυνησεν αυτω λεγουσα κυριε βοηθει μοι |
| 26. | Who answering, said: It is not good to take the bread of the children, and to cast it to the dogs. | Qui respondens ait : Non est bonum sumere panem filiorum, et mittere canibus. | ο δε αποκριθεις ειπεν ουκ εστιν καλον λαβειν τον αρτον των τεκνων και βαλειν τοις κυναριοις |
| 27. | But she said: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters. | At illa dixit : Etiam Domine : nam et catelli edunt de micis quæ cadunt de mensa dominorum suorum. | η δε ειπεν ναι κυριε και γαρ τα κυναρια εσθιει απο των ψιχιων των πιπτοντων απο της τραπεζης των κυριων αυτων |
| 28. | Then Jesus answering, said to her: O woman, great is thy faith: be it done to thee as thou wilt: and her daughter was cured from that hour. | Tunc respondens Jesus, ait illi : O mulier, magna est fides tua : fiat tibi sicut vis. Et sanata est filia ejus ex illa hora. | τοτε αποκριθεις ο ιησους ειπεν αυτη ω γυναι μεγαλη σου η πιστις γενηθητω σοι ως θελεις και ιαθη η θυγατηρ αυτης απο της ωρας εκεινης |
(*) τοις κυναριοις -- "to the dogs". It is sometime remarked that κυναριοι is really more like "puppies". However, I have it on the authority of my former priest, a biblical scholar, that the diminutive was not contemplated in this passage.
