Matthew 15:21-23

New Testament for Everyone

The Canaanite woman

²¹ Jesus left that place and went off to the district of Tyre and Sidon. 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.”
