Matthew 15:23-33

23 But Jesus did not say a word to her. His disciples came to him and begged him, "Send her away! She is following us and making all this noise!"
24 Then Jesus replied, "I have been sent only to the lost sheep of the people of Israel."
25 At this the woman came and fell at his feet. "Help me, sir!" she said.
26 Jesus answered, "It isn't right to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs."
27 "That's true, sir," she answered, "but even the dogs eat the leftovers that fall from their masters' table."
28 So Jesus answered her, "You are a woman of great faith! What you want will be done for you." And at that very moment her daughter was healed.
29 Jesus left there and went along by Lake Galilee. He climbed a hill and sat down.
30 Large crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the dumb, and many other sick people, whom they placed at Jesus' feet; and he healed them.
31 The people were amazed as they saw the dumb speaking, the crippled made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they praised the God of Israel.
32 Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I feel sorry for these people, because they have been with me for three days and now have nothing to eat. I don't want to send them away without feeding them, for they might faint on their way home."
33 The disciples asked him, "Where will we find enough food in this desert to feed this crowd?"
