Matthew 15:21-29

Lamsa(i) 21 And Jesus went out from thence, and he came to the border of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold, a Canaanite woman from these borders, came out crying aloud, and saying, Have mercy on me, O my Lord, son of David; my daughter is seriously afflicted with insanity. 23 But he did not answer her. And his disciples came up to him and urged him, saying, Dismiss her, for she keeps crying aloud after us. 24 And he answered and said to them, I am not sent, except to the sheep which went astray from the house of Israel. 25 But she came and worshipped him, and said, My Lord, help me. 26 Jesus said to her, It is not right to take the childrenÆs bread and throw it to the dogs. 27 But she said Yes, my Lord, even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from the masterÆs tray, and they live. 28 Then Jesus said to her, O woman, your faith is great; let it be to you as you wish; and her daughter was healed from that very hour. 29 And Jesus departed from thence, and he came toward the sea of Galilee; and he went up to a mountain and sat down there.
