21 Jesus left that place and went away to the district of Tyre and Sidon.
22 Just then a Canaanite woman from that region came out and started shouting: “Have mercy on me, Kyrios, Son of David; my daughter is tormented by a demon.”
23 But he did not answer her at all. And his disciples came and urged him, saying: “Send her away, for she keeps shouting after us.”
24 He answered: “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
25 But she came and knelt before him, saying: “Kyrios, help me.”
26 He answered: “It is not fair to take the children’s food and throw it to the dogs.”
27 She said: “Yes, Kyrios, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.”
28 Then Jesus answered her: “Woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed instantly.
