²That your way may be known on earth, and your salvation among all nations, ³let the peoples praise you, God. Let all the peoples praise you. ⁵Let the peoples praise you, God. Let all the peoples praise you. ⁶The earth has yielded its increase. God, even our own God, will bless us.

¹³For I speak to you who are Gentiles. Since then as I am an apostle to Gentiles, I glorify my ministry, ¹⁴if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh, and may save some of them. ¹⁵For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead? ²⁹For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. ³⁰For as you in time past were disobedient to God, but now have obtained mercy by their disobedience, ³¹even so these also have now been disobedient, that by the mercy shown to you they may also obtain mercy. ³²For God has bound all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all.

²¹Jesus went out from there and withdrew into the region of Tyre and Sidon. ²²Behold, a Canaanite woman came out from those borders and cried, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, you son of David! My daughter is severely possessed by a demon!” ²³But he answered her not a word. His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away; for she cries after us.” ²⁴But he answered, “I wasn’t sent to anyone but the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” ²⁵But she came and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, help me.” ²⁶But he answered, “It is not appropriate to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” ²⁷But she said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” ²⁸Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, great is your faith! Be it done to you even as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.
