"The subject is taken from the Gospel of St Matthew:'And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, ""Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is cruelly demon-possessed."" But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, ""Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us."" But He answered and said, ""I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."" But she came and began to bow down before Him, saying, ""Lord, help me!"" And He answered and said, ""It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."" But she said, ""Yes, Lord; but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters' table."" Then Jesus said to her, ""O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish."" And her daughter was healed at once.'"
