Matthew 15:24-26

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁴ Jesus replied to his disciples, ‘God has sent me to help only the people of Israel. They are like sheep that have lost their way.’

²⁵ Then the woman came to Jesus and she went down on her knees in front of him. ‘Sir, please help me,’ she said.

²⁶ Jesus did answer the woman this time. He said, ‘It is not right to take food from the children and then throw it to the dogs.’
