Matthew 15:24-28

Good News Translation

²⁴ Then Jesus replied, “I have been sent only to the lost sheep of the people of Israel.”

²⁵ At this the woman came and fell at his feet. “Help me, sir!” she said.

²⁶ Jesus answered, “It isn't right to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs.”

²⁷ “That's true, sir,” she answered, “but even the dogs eat the leftovers that fall from their masters' table.”

²⁸ So Jesus answered her, “You are a woman of great faith! What you want will be done for you.” And at that very moment her daughter was healed.
