Matthew 15:24-29 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

24. Jesus said, “I was sent only to the people of Israel! They are like a flock of lost sheep.”

25. The woman came closer. Then she knelt down and begged, “Please help me, Lord!”

26. Jesus replied, “It isn't right to take food away from children and feed it to dogs.”

27. “Lord, that's true,” the woman said, “but even dogs get the crumbs that fall from their owner's table.”

28. Jesus answered, “Dear woman, you really do have a lot of faith, and you will be given what you want.” At that moment her daughter was healed.

29. From there, Jesus went along Lake Galilee. Then he climbed a hill and sat down.
