Matthew 15:26-34 English Standard Version (ESV)

26. And he answered, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”

27. She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.”

28. Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed instantly.

29. Jesus went on from there and walked beside the Sea of Galilee. And he went up on the mountain and sat down there.

30. And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them,

31. so that the crowd wondered, when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.

32. Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion on the crowd because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. And I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.”

33. And the disciples said to him, “Where are we to get enough bread in such a desolate place to feed so great a crowd?”

34. And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
