Matthew 15:21-31

The Canaanite Woman

21 ^aAnd going away from there, Jesus withdrew into the district of ^bTyre and ^bSidon. 22 And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, ^aSon of David; my daughter is cruelly ^bdemon-possessed.” 23 But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and were pleading with Him, saying, “Send her away, because she keeps shouting ¹at us.” 24 But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to ^athe lost sheep of the house of Israel.” 25 But she came and ¹^awas bowing down before Him, saying, “Lord, help me!” 26 And He answered and said, “It is not ¹good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” 27 But she said, “Yes, Lord; ¹but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” 28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, ^ayour faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed ¹at once.

Jesus Heals the Crowds

29 ^aAnd departing from there, Jesus went along by ^bthe Sea of Galilee, and having gone up on the mountain, He was sitting there. 30 And ¹large crowds came to Him, bringing with them those who were lame, crippled, blind, mute, and many others, and they laid them down at His feet; and ^aHe healed them. 31 So the crowd marveled as they saw the mute speaking, the crippled ¹restored, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they ^aglorified the God of Israel.
