Matthew 15:21-28

The Faith of a Canaanite Woman

21 ^aAnd Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold ^ba Canaanite woman from that region came out and was crying ^c“Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon.” 23 But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying ^d“Send her away, for she is crying out after us.” 24 He answered, ^e“I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” 25 But she came and ^fknelt before him, saying, “Lord, help me.” 26 And he answered, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and ^gthrow it to the dogs.” 27 She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat ^hthe crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.” 28 Then Jesus answered her, “O woman ⁱgreat is your faith! ^jBe it done for you as you desire.” ^kAnd her daughter was ^lhealed instantly. ^{▼
