Matthew 15:22-25 ▼

22 And a Canaanite woman from that district came out and began to cry out [urgently], saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David (Messiah); my daughter is cruelly possessed by a demon.”

23 But He did not say a word in answer to her. And His disciples came and asked Him [repeatedly], “Send her away, because she keeps shouting out after us.”

24 He answered, “I was commissioned by God and sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

25 But she came and began to kneel down before Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”
