Thematic Bible: Syrophenician woman


Thematic Bible



“Yes, Lord,” she said, “yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table!”

I tell you, even though he won’t get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his friend’s persistence, he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

yet because this widow keeps pestering me, I will give her justice, so she doesn’t wear me out by her persistent coming.’”
