Amplified Bible

Matthew 15:20-31 Amplified Bible (AMP)

20. These are what make a man unclean and defile [him]; but eating with unwashed hands does not make him unclean or defile [him].

21. And going away from there, Jesus withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon.

22. And behold, a woman who was a Canaanite from that district came out and, with a [loud, troublesomely urgent] cry, begged, Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is miserably and distressingly and cruelly possessed by a demon!

23. But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, Send her away, for she is crying out after us.

24. He answered, I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

25. But she came and, kneeling, worshiped Him and kept praying, Lord, help me!

26. And He answered, It is not right (proper, becoming, or fair) to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs.

27. She said, Yes, Lord, yet even the little pups (little whelps) eat the crumbs that fall from their [young] masters' table.

28. Then Jesus answered her, O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you wish. And her daughter was cured from that moment.

29. And Jesus went on from there and passed along the shore of the Sea of Galilee. Then He went up into the hills and kept sitting there.

30. And a great multitude came to Him, bringing with them the lame, the maimed, the blind, the dumb, and many others, and they put them down at His feet; and He cured them,

31. So that the crowd was amazed when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they recognized and praised and thanked and glorified the God of Israel.
