And His disciples came and were pleading with Him, saying, “Send her away, because she keeps shouting 1at us.” 24But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to athe lost sheep of the house of Israel.” 25But she came and 1,awas bowing down before Him, saying, “Lord, help me!” 26And He answered and said, “It is not 1good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” 27But she said, “Yes, Lord; 1but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” 28Then 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.
