Matthew 15:21-28

Mace(i) 21 Then Jesus went thence, and retir'd towards the district of Tyre and Sidon. 22 and there came a woman of Canaan from those quarters, and cried out to him, have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously tormented by a demon. 23 but Jesus not making her any answer, his disciples came and entreated him to grant her request; for, said they, she is very importunate with us. 24 but he answered, my commission was only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25 however she advanc'd, and throwing her self at his feet, cried, O Lord, assist me. 26 but he answered, it is not just to take the childrens bread, and throw it to puppies. 27 'tis true, Lord, said she: yet even puppies eat of the crumbs which fall from their master's table. 28 then Jesus answered her, O woman, great is thy faith: as you desire, be it done. and her daughter was healed from that very hour.
