Matthew 15:22-28
[22]And behold, a woman who was a Canaanite from that district came out and, with a [loud, troublesomely urgent] cry, begged, Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is miserably and distressingly and cruelly possessed by a demon!
[23]But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, Send her away, for she is crying out after us.
[24]He answered, I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
[25]But she came and, kneeling, worshiped Him and kept praying, Lord, help me!
[26]And He answered, It is not right (proper, becoming, or fair) to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs.
[27]She said, Yes, Lord, yet even the little pups (little whelps) eat the crumbs that fall from their [young] masters' table.
[28]Then Jesus answered her, O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you wish. And her daughter was cured from that moment.
