Matthew 15:21-28

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²¹ And Jesus went from thence, and retired into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.

²² And behold a woman of Canaan who came out of those coasts, crying out, said to him: Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David: my daughter is grieviously troubled by the devil.

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

²⁴ And he answering, said: I was not sent but to the sheep that are lost of the house of Israel.

²⁵ But she came and adored him, saying: Lord, help me.

²⁶ Who answering, said: It is not good to take the bread of the children, and to cast it to the dogs.

²⁷ But she said: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters.

²⁸ Then Jesus answering, said to her: O woman, great is thy faith: be it done to thee as thou wilt: and her daughter was cured from that hour.
