raised her voice in supplication, in following the Lord who was walking. We must understand then, that, as Mark writes, she entered in where Jesus was, that is, as he had noticed above, in the house; then, that as Matthew writes. He answered her not a word, and during this silence of both sides, Jesus left the house; and then the rest follows without any discordance." Chrysostom: "I judge that the disciples were sorry for the woman’s affliction, yet dared not say ‘Grant her this mercy,’ but only Send her away, as we, when we would persuade anyone, oftentimes say the very contrary to what we wish. He answered and said, I am not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." References External links Other translations of Matthew 15:23 at BibleHub 15:23
