22 E eis que uma mulher Cananeia, que tinha saído daquela região, clamou-lhe: Senhor, Filho de Davi, tem misericórdia de mim! Minha filha está miseravelmente endemoninhada.

23 Mas ele não lhe respondeu palavra. Então seus discípulos se aproximaram dele, e rogaram-lhe, dizendo: Manda-a embora, porque ela está gritando atrás de nós.

24 E ele respondeu: Não fui enviado para ninguém além das ovelhas perdidas da casa de Israel.
