Mt 15:21-28
The Canaanite Woman’s Faith
21 Jesus... withdrew to the region of Tyre and
Sidon. 22 And behold, a Canaanite woman of that district came and
called out, “Have pity in me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a
demon.” 23 But he did not say a word in answer to her. His disciples
came and asked him, “Send her away, for she keeps on calling out after us.” 24
He said in reply, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” 25
But the woman came and did him homage saying, “Lord, help me.” 26 He
said in reply, “It is not right to take the food of children and throw it to
the dogs.” 27 She said, “Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the
scraps that fall from the table of their masters.” 28 Then Jesus
said to her in reply, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as
you wish.: And her daughter was healed from that hour.
