Matthew 15 : 21 - 31
Chapter 15
| 21 | Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
|
| 22 | And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed."
|
| 23 | But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, "Send her away, for she cries out after us."
|
| 24 | But He answered and said, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
|
| 25 | Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, help me!"
|
| 26 | But He answered and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs."
|
| 27 | And she said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."
|
| 28 | Then Jesus answered and said to her, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
|
| 29 | Jesus departed from there, skirted the Sea of Galilee, and went up on the mountain and sat down there.
|
| 30 | Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus' feet, and He healed them.
|
| 31 | So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
|
And Glory be to God forever.
