Continuing to unfold the Lectionary Gospel texts for Year A keeps us in the Gospel of Matthew.
Matthew 15:21-28
21Jesus left that place and went away to the district of Tyre and Sidon.
22Just then a Canaanite woman from that region
came out and started shouting, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my
daughter is tormented by a demon.”
23But he did not answer her at all. And his
disciples came and urged him, saying, “Send her away, for she keeps
shouting after us.”
24He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
25But she came and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
26He answered, “It is not fair to take the children’s food and throw it to the dogs.”
27She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.”
28Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, great is your
faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healed
instantly.
