Matthew 15:21-28
21 |
Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. |
22 |
And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed." |
23 |
But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, "Send her away, for she cries out after us." |
24 |
But He answered and said, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." |
25 |
Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, help me!" |
26 |
But He answered and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs." |
27 |
And she said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table." |
28 |
Then Jesus answered and said to her, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that very hour. |
