Matthew 15:22-28
Legacy Standard Bible
22 And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, (A)Son of David; my daughter is cruelly (B)demon-possessed.” 23 But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and were pleading with Him, saying, “Send her away, because she keeps shouting [a]at us.” 24 But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to (C)the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” 25 But she came and [b](D)was bowing down before Him, saying, “Lord, help me!” 26 And He answered and said, “It is not [c]good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” 27 But she said, “Yes, Lord; [d]but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” 28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, (E)your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed [e]at once.
