Matthew 15:21-28 At that time, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a Canaanite woman of that district came and called out, âHave pity on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon.â But Jesus did not say a word in answer to her. Jesusâ disciples came and asked him, âSend her away, for she keeps calling out after us.â He said in reply, âI was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.â But the woman came and did Jesus homage, saying, âLord, help me.â He said in reply, âIt is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs.â She said, âPlease, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters.â Then Jesus said to her in reply, âO woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.â And the womanâs daughter was healed from that hour.
