23. Jesus did not say a word. So his disciples came to him. They begged him, "Send her away. She keeps crying out after us."
24. Jesus answered, "I was sent only to the people of Israel. They are like lost sheep."
25. Then the woman fell to her knees in front of him. "Lord! Help me!" she said.
26. He replied, "It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to their dogs."
27. "Yes, Lord," she said. "But even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their owners' table."
