Matthew 15:21-28
21 Mark 7:24.
22 A woman of Canaan - Canaan was also called Syrophenicia, as lying
between Syria properly so called, and Phenicia, by the sea side. Cried
to him - From afar, Thou Son of David - So she had some knowledge of the
promised Messiah.
23 He answered her not a word - He sometimes tries our faith in like
manner.
24 I am not sent - Not primarily; not yet.
25 Then came she - Into the house where he now was.
28 Thy faith - Thy reliance on the power and goodness of God.
