Matthew 15:22-24

New Testament for Everyone

²² A Canaanite woman from those parts came out and shouted, “Have pity on me, Lord, son of David! My daughter is demon-possessed! She’s in a bad way!” ²³ Jesus, however, said nothing at all to her.

His disciples came up.

“Please send her away,” they asked. “She’s shouting after us.”

²⁴ “I was only sent,” replied Jesus, “to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
