A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is suffering terribly from demon-possession."
Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, "Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us."
He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel."
The woman came and knelt before him. "Lord, help me!" she said.
He replied, "It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs."
(Matthew 15:22-26)
Isn't Jesus too cold here????
Please DON'T mention the rest of the story, because I could NEVER be as persistent as she was!
If I were in her shoes, I would have given up on Him and the daughter would have died...
