SCRIPTURE

"But she answered and saith unto him, Yea, Lord; even the dogs under the table eat of the children`s crumbs." — Mark 7:28 (ASV)

Eat of the children’s crumbs.—The form varies slightly from St. Matthew’s “the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table,” and has, perhaps, a certain vividness of antithesis.
