Matthew 15:22-27

World English Bible

²² Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders and cried, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely possessed by a demon!”

²³ But he answered her not a word.

His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away; for she cries after us.”

²⁴ But he answered, “I wasn’t sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

²⁵ But she came and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, help me.”

²⁶ But he answered, “It is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”

²⁷ But she said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
