马太福音15：21~31
迦南妇人的信心
（可7‧24－30）
21 耶稣离开那里，退到泰尔、西顿的境内去。
22 有一个迦南妇人，从那地方出来，喊着说：「主啊，大卫的子孙，可怜我！我女儿被鬼附得甚苦。」
23 耶稣却一言不答。门徒进前来，求他说：「这妇人在我们后头喊叫，请打发她走吧。」
24 耶稣说：「我奉差遣不过是到以色列家迷失的羊那里去。」
25 那妇人来拜他，说：「主啊，帮助我！」
26 他回答说：「不好拿儿女的饼丢给狗吃。」
27 妇人说：「主啊，不错；但是狗也吃它主人桌子上掉下来的碎渣儿。」
28 耶稣说：「妇人，你的信心是大的！照你所要的，给你成全了吧。」从那时候，她女儿就好了。
治好许多病人
29 耶稣离开那地方，来到靠近加利利的海边，就上山坐下。
30 有许多人到他那里，带着瘸子、瞎子、哑巴、有残疾的，和好些别的病人，都放在他脚前；他就治好了他们。
31 甚至众人都希奇；因为看见哑巴说话，残疾的痊愈，瘸子行走，瞎子看见，他们就归荣耀给以色列的 神。
The Faith of a Canaanite Woman
21 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon.
22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.”
23 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.”
24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”
25 The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.
26 He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
27 “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
28 Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.”And her daughter was healed at that moment.
Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand
29 Jesus left there and went along the Sea of Galilee. Then he went up on a mountainside and sat down.
30 Great crowds came to him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet; and he healed them.
31 The people were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame walking and the blind seeing. And they praised the God of Israel.

小狗(26节):当时的犹太人以“小狗”来指称外邦人，表达对外邦人的轻蔑。耶稣知道外邦人与犹太人的这层隔阂，特意引用此概念来回应迦南妇人，但也借以显出，连被轻视的外邦人都愿意谦卑接受福音，神所拣选的犹太人却不愿意。
耶50:6“我的百姓成了失丧的羊，牧人使他们走迷了路，转入丛山之间。他们从大山走到小山，竟忘了自己安歇之处。
