Matthew 15:21-28
The Faith of the Canaanite Woman

21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.

21:

22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, [thou] Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

22:

23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.

23:

24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

24:

25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

25:

26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast [it] to dogs.

26:

27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.

27:

28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great [is] thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

28:
