A Canaanite woman from that territory came to him and began to shout, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David!  My daughter is tormented by a demon.”
²³ But he did not answer her at all.  Then his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away.  She keeps shouting behind us.”
²⁴ Jesus responded, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the nation of Israel.”
²⁵ She came to him, bowed down, and said, “Lord, help me!”
²⁶ Jesus replied, “It’s not right to take the children’s food and throw it to the dogs.”
²⁷ She said, “You’re right, Lord.  But even the dogs eat scraps that fall from their masters’ tables.”
²⁸ Then Jesus answered her, “Woman, you have strong faith!  What you wanted will be done for you.”  At that moment her daughter was cured.
(Matthew 15:22-28 -- GW)
