Matthew 15:21-31

21When Jesus left there, he withdrew to the area of Tyre and Sidon.

22Just then a Canaanite woman from that region came and kept crying out, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely tormented by a demon.”

23Jesus did not say a word to her. His disciples approached him and urged him, “Send her away because she’s crying out after us.”

24He replied, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

25But she came, knelt before him, and said, “Lord, help me!”

26He answered, “It isn’t right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”

27“Yes, Lord,” she said, “yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.”

28Then Jesus replied to her, “Woman, your faith is great. Let it be done for you as you want.” And from that moment her daughter was healed.

29Moving on from there, Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee. He went up on a mountain and sat there,

30and large crowds came to him, including the lame, the blind, the crippled, those unable to speak, and many others. They put them at his feet, and he healed them.

31So the crowd was amazed when they saw those unable to speak talking, the crippled restored, the lame walking, and the blind seeing, and they gave glory to the God of Israel.
