## Matthew 15:23-25 in Context (Verses 20–28 KJV)
 
 [20 ](/kjv/matthew/15/20) These are *the things* which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/matthew/15/21) ¶ Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/matthew/15/22) And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, *thou* Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/matthew/15/23) But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/matthew/15/24) But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/matthew/15/25) Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/matthew/15/26) But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast *it* to dogs.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/matthew/15/27) And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/matthew/15/28) Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great *is* thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
