The Faith of a Canaanite Woman

Matthew 15:21-28

And Iesus went thence, and departed into the coastes of Tyrus and Sidon.

And beholde, a woman a Cananite came out of the same coasts, and cried, saying vnto him, Haue mercie on me, O Lord, the sonne of Dauid: my daughter is miserably vexed with a deuil.

But hee answered her not a worde. Then came to him his disciples, and besought him, saying, Sende her away, for she crieth after vs.

But he answered, and said, I am not sent, but vnto the lost sheepe of the house of Israel.

Yet she came, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, helpe me.

And he answered, and said, It is not good to take the childrens bread, and to cast it to whelps.

But she said, Trueth, Lord: yet in deede the whelpes eate of the crommes, which fall from their masters table.

Then Iesus answered, and saide vnto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it to thee, as thou desirest. And her daughter was made whole at that houre.
