Son of David

...“Have mercy on me, 

O Lord, 

Son of David; 

my daughter is 

severely oppressed 

by a demon.” 

But he did not 

answer her a word. 

And his disciples 

came and begged 

him, saying, 

“Send her away, 

for she is crying 

out after us.”  

He  answered, 

“I was sent only 

to the lost sheep 

of the house of Israel.” 

But she came 

and knelt before 

him, saying, 

“Lord, help me.” 

And he answered, 

“It is not right to 

take the children’s 

bread and throw it 

to the dogs.” She 

said, “Yes, Lord, 

yet even the dogs 

eat the crumbs 

that fall from 

their masters’ table.” 

Then Jesus 

answered her, 

“O woman, 

great is your faith! 

Be it done for you 

as you desire.” And 

her daughter was 

healed instantly.
