Latin text

Clamabat autem mulier cananæa ad Dominum Jesum, dicens:

Domine Jesu Christe, fili David, adiuva me;

filia mea male a demonio vexatur.

Respondens ei Dominus dixit:

Non sum missus nisi ad oves quae perierunt domus Israel.

At illa venit et adoravit eum dicens:

Domine, adiuva me.

Respondens Jesus ait illi:

Mulier, magna est fides tua, fiat tibi sicut vis.

English translation

A woman of Canaan cried to the Lord Jesus, saying:

Lord Jesus Christ, son of David, help me;

my daughter is grievously troubled by a devil.

And he answering, said: I was not sent but to the sheep, that are lost of the house of Israel.

But she came and adored him, saying: Lord, help me.

Then Jesus answering, said to her: O woman, great is thy faith: be it done to thee as thou wilt.

Portuguese translation

Então uma mulher cananeia gritou ao Senhor Jesus, dizendo:

Senhor Jesus Cristo, Filho de David, acode-me!

A minha filha está possessa do demónio e encontra-se muito mal.

Respondendo, disse o Senhor:

Eu só fui enviado às ovelhas perdidas da casa de Israel.

Mas ela veio adorá-lo, dizendo:

Senhor, acode-me!

Então Jesus respondendo, disse-lhe:

Mulher, grande é a tua fé! Pois seja como tu queres.
