Matthew 15:21-28
A Gentile Mother’s Faith
21 When Jesus left there,(A) He withdrew to the area of Tyre and Sidon.(B)
22 Just then a Canaanite woman from that region came and kept crying out,(a) “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is cruelly tormented by a demon.”(C)
23 Yet He did not say a word to her. So His disciples(D) approached Him and urged Him, “Send her away because she cries out after us.”(b)
27 “Yes, Lord,” she said, “yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table!”
