A Woman's Faith
21 Jesus left that place and went off to the territory near the cities of Tyre and
Sidon. 22 A Canaanite woman who lived in that region came to him. “Son of
David!” she cried out. “Have mercy on me, sir! My daughter has a demon and
is in a terrible condition.” 23 But Jesus did not say a word to her. His disciples
came to him and begged him, “Send her away! She is following us and making
all this noise!”
24 Then Jesus replied, “I have been sent only to the lost sheep of the people of
Israel.”
25 At this the woman came and fell at his feet. “Help me, sir!” she said.
26 Jesus answered, “It isn't right to take the children's food and throw it to the
dogs.”
27 “That's true, sir,” she answered, “but even the dogs eat the leftovers that
fall from their masters' table.” 28 So Jesus answered her, “You are a woman
of great faith! What you want will be done for you.” And at that very moment
her daughter was healed.
