Matthew 15:26

Matthew 15:26

24 But He answered and said, ^a“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 ^adogs.”

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, ^agreat is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

Jesus Heals Great Multitudes

29 ^aJesus departed from there, ^bskirted the Sea of Galilee, and went up on the mountain and sat down there.

30 ^aThen great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute,¹ maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus’ ^bfeet, and He healed them.

<< Matthew 15:25

Matthew 15:27 >>

Matthew 15:26 It is not meet to take the children's bread. She knew that, in comparing the Jews to the children of God's family, and the heathen to the dogs without, he simply used the customary language of a Jew. He would bring out fully the greatness of her faith. The gospel was offered first to the Jews and then to all.
