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.
