(89) Jesus Leaves Israel
Matthew 15:21-28, Mark 7:24-30
[A]Then Jesus arose and left there and went to the region of Tyre and Sidon. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know of it, but He could not be hidden. [B]For look, a woman of Canaan, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of Him. She came and fell at His feet, crying out, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David. My daughter is severely tormented by a demon.”
The woman came from the coastal area of Canaan. [C]She was a Greek, a Phoenician of Syria by nationality, and she begged Him to cast the demon out of her daughter. [D]But He did not say a word to her. So His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out for us.”
[E]But He replied, “I am sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
[F]Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
[G]But Jesus said to her, “Let the children be filled first. For it is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
[H]“Yes, Lord. This is true,” she replied. “Yet the dogs under the master’s table eat the children’s crumbs which fall from it.”
[I]Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, great is your faith. Your wish is granted you. And for your reply, you may go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter.”
And her daughter was healed from that very hour. [J]She went home and found her daughter free of the demon and lying on the bed.

Matthew 15:21-28, KJV
21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. 24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

Mark 7:24-30, KJV
24 And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid. 25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet: 26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. 27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it unto the dogs. 28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs. 29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter. 30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
