Matthew 15:24-26

New Testament for Everyone

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

²⁵ The woman, however, came and threw herself down at his feet.

“Master,” she said, “please help me!”

²⁶ “It isn’t right,” replied Jesus, “to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
