4.9/5 (31341 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from The Expositor, Vol. 22 In a scene recorded in the first two Gospels the Saviour is represented as conversing with a woman from the region of Tyre and Sidon. The narrative occurs in Matthew xv. 21-28 and Mark vii. 24 - 30. In the former the woman is styled a Canaanite, in the latter a Hellenis, Syro-ph nician by race. "Ph nician" is at times in the LXX a rendering of the Hebrew "Canaanite," and the prefix Syro is used to distinguish the Syrian Phoenicians from the African. In the second Gospel "Syro-ph nician by race" represents "from those regions" in the Matthsean text. The word Canaanite occurs nowhere else in the New Testament. Its sense here is probably "pagan." The reason of the substitution of Hellenis will appear presently. In the Greek text of Matthew the Master is with His disciples in the open air. Approaching the Phoenician country they are met by a woman from those parts who requests help for a daughter who is possessed. Christ is silent. The disciples urge that she be "let go," to which Christ replies that He is not sent but to the lost sheep of the House of Israel. The woman renews her importunity and is told that it is not permissible to take the children's bread and cast it to the puppies. She retorts that puppies are in fact allowed to eat the crumbs that fall from their master's table. She is then praised for her faith and her request is granted. There are several features in this narrative which occasion surprise. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
