And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, “Send her away, because she keeps shoutingjat us.” 24 But He answered and said, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” 25 But she came and begankto bow down before Him, saying, “Lord, help me!” 26 And He answered and said, “It is notlgood to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” 27 But she said, “Yes, Lord;mbut even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” 28 Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish.” And her daughter was healednat once. | |

32 And Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, “I feel compassion for theqpeople, because theyrhave remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way.” 33 The disciples *said to Him, “Where would we get so many loaves in this desolate place to satisfy such a large crowd?” 34 And Jesus *said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven, and a few small fish.” 35 And He directed thespeople totsit down on the ground; 36 and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and giving thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 37 And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven large baskets full. 38 And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. | |
