Matthew 15:22-24

Living Bible

²² A woman from Canaan who was living there came to him, pleading, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, King David’s Son! For my daughter has a demon within her, and it torments her constantly.”

²³ But Jesus gave her no reply—not even a word. Then his disciples urged him to send her away. “Tell her to get going,” they said, “for she is bothering us with all her begging.”

²⁴ Then he said to the woman, “I was sent to help the Jews—the lost sheep of Israel—not the Gentiles.”
