The Faith of a Canaanite Woman

21

Yeshua left that place and went off to the region of Tzor and Tzidon.

22

A woman from Kena`an who was living there came to him, pleading, "Sir, have pity on me. Son of David! My daughter is cruelly held under the power of demons!"

23

But Yeshua did not say a word to her. Then his talmidim came to him and urged him, "Send her away, because she is following us and keeps pestering us with her crying."

24

He said, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Isra'el."

25

But she came, fell at his feet and said, "Sir, help me!"

26

He answered, "It is not right to take the children's food and toss it to their pet dogs."

27

She said, "That is true, sir, but even the dogs eat the leftovers that fall from their master's table."

28

Then Yeshua answered her, "Lady, you are a person of great trust. Let your desire be granted." And her daughter was healed at that very moment.
