Matthew 15: 21 - 28

| 21
|
And Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.
|
| 22
|
And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and cried, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely possessed by a demon."
|
| 23
|
But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, "Send her away, for she is crying after us."
|
| 24
|
He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
|
| 25
|
But she came and knelt before him, saying, "Lord, help me."
|
| 26
|
And he answered, "It is not fair to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
|
| 27
|
She said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table."
|

Then Jesus answered her, "O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire." And her daughter was healed instantly.
