Matthew 15:23-28

English Standard Version

²³ But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, ^(A)“Send her away, for she is crying out after us.” ²⁴ He answered, ^(B)“I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” ²⁵ But she came and ^(C)knelt before him, saying, “Lord, help me.” ²⁶ And he answered, “It is not right to take the children's bread and ^(D)throw it to the dogs.” ²⁷ She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat ^(E)the crumbs that fall from their masters' table.” ²⁸ Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, ^(F)great is your faith! ^(G)Be it done for you as you desire.” ^(H)And her daughter was ^(I)healed instantly.^[a]
