 Matthew and Mark both wrote about a woman who appraised herself just as honestly as that worker. She took no public opinion polls. She perceived herself with wide-eyed honesty. Jesus left Jerusalem and went into pagan territory, stopping at the city of Tyre. While he was there, a Canaanite woman, a worshipper of false gods, came to Jesus and said, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me. My daughter is suffering terribly from demon possession.
