 When Jesus finally spoke directly to the woman, he said, It is not right to give the children's bread to the dogs. With an honesty, an absolute transparency and honesty that touched the heart of Jesus, she said, That's true, Lord. But even the dogs under the table can eat the pieces of food that the children don't eat. Even the dogs eat the pieces of food that fall from their master's table. Jesus answered, Woman, you have great faith. I will do what you ask me to do.
