St Matthew 15:23-32 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

23. Who answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying: Send her away, for she crieth after us:

24. And he answering, said: I was not sent but to the sheep that are lost of the house of Israel.

25. But she came and adored him, saying: Lord, help me.

26. Who answering, said: It is not good to take the bread of the children, and to cast it to the dogs.

27. But she said: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters.

28. Then Jesus answering, said to her: O woman, great is thy faith: be it done to thee as thou wilt: and her daughter was cured from that hour.

29. And when Jesus had passed away from thence, he came nigh the sea of Galilee. And going up into a mountain, he sat there.

30. And there came to him great multitudes, having with them the dumb, the blind, the lame, the maimed, and many others: and they cast them down at his feet, and he healed them:

31. So that the multitudes marvelled seeing the dumb speak, the lame walk, and the blind see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

32. And Jesus called together his disciples, and said: I have compassion on the multitudes, because they continue with me now three days, and have not what to eat, and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
