Syro-Phoenician
Biblical woman. Pronunciation: sigh-row feh-KNEE-shun.
Syro-Phoenician was a Gentile woman from Phoenicia, a nation that had been incorporated into the Roman province of Syria (thus the name Syro-Phoenician), who brought her afflicted daughter to Jesus to be healed. Although she was not of the Jewish nation, she believed that Jesus could heal. He tested her by silence, refusal, and reproach, but she stood firm in her faith, and her petition was granted.
