22. And behold, a Canaanite woman from that district came and cried out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely possessed by a demon!”
23. But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came up and asked him, saying, “Send her away, because she is crying out after us!”
24. But he answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
25. But she came and knelt down before him, saying, “Lord, help me!”
26. And he answered and said, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs!”
27. So she said, “Yes, Lord, for even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
