Matthew 15:21-29

21After leaving there, Jesus withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.

22And a Canaanite woman from that district came out and began to cry out [urgently], saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David (Messiah); my daughter is cruelly possessed by a demon.”

23But He did not say a word in answer to her. And His disciples came and asked Him [repeatedly], “Send her away, because she keeps shouting out after us.”

24He answered, “I was commissioned by God and sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

25But she came and began to kneel down before Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”

26And He replied, “It is not good (appropriate, fair) to take the children’s bread and throw it to the pet dogs.”

27She said, “Yes, Lord; but even the pet dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their [young] masters’ table.”

28Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, your faith [your personal trust and confidence in My power] is great; it will be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed from that moment.

29Jesus went on from there and passed along by [the eastern shore of] the Sea of Galilee. Then He went up on the hillside and was sitting there.
