Matthew 15:22-28  English Standard Version

22 And behold, (A)a Canaanite woman from that region came out and was crying, (B)“Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon.” 23 But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, (C)“Send her away, for she is crying out after us.” 24 He answered, (D)“I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” 25 But she came and (E)knelt before him, saying, “Lord, help me.” 26 And he answered, “It is not right to take the children's bread and (F)throw it to the dogs.” 27 She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat (G)the crumbs that fall from their masters' table.” 28 Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, (H)great is your faith! (I)Let it be done for you as you desire.” (J)And her daughter was (K)healed instantly.[a]
