The story is found in: Matthew 15:21-39 21 Jesus left and went to the territory near the cities of Tyre and Sidon. 22 Suddenly a Canaanite woman from there came out shouting, "Lord and Son of David, have pity on me! My daughter is full of demons." 23 Jesus did not say a word. But the woman kept following along and shouting, so his disciples came up and asked him to send her away. 24 Jesus said, "I was sent only to the people of Israel! They are like a flock of lost sheep." 25 The woman came closer. Then she knelt down and begged, "Please help me, Lord!" 26 Jesus replied, "It isn't right to take food away from children and feed it to dogs." 27 "Lord, that's true," the woman said, "but even dogs get the crumbs that fall from their owner's table." 28 Jesus answered, "Dear woman, you really do have a lot of faith, and you will be given what you want." At that moment her daughter was healed. V V V V THE LIFE OF JESUS (tlj-17.txt / tlj-17.mp3) V V V V 29 Jesus climbed a hill and sat down.

They have been with me for three days, and they don't have anything to eat. I don't want to send them away hungry. They might faint on their way home." 33 His disciples said, "This place is like a desert. Where can we find enough food to feed such a crowd?" 34 Jesus asked them how much food they had. They replied, "Seven small loaves of bread [f] and a few little fish." 35 After Jesus had told the people to sit down, 36 he took the seven loaves of bread and the fish and gave thanks. He then broke them and handed them to his disciples, who passed them around to the crowds. 37 Everyone ate all they wanted, and the leftovers filled seven large baskets. 38 There were four thousand men who ate, not counting the women and children. 39 After Jesus had sent the crowds away, he got into a boat and sailed across the lake. He came to shore near the town of Magadan. Scripture quotations from verses 29-31 are taken from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright 1996.
