Matthew 15:27

‘But she said, “Yes, Lord, for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.” '

She knows precisely what He means. He is a Jewish prophet, and His ministry is to the Jews. They are the ‘children' of His God, and she acknowledges both this, and their right. What He says is true. But then she points out that the dogs under the table are allowed crumbs from the table. This would also include bread on which they had wiped their fingers. Thus the master considers it right to give such crumbs to dogs. Will not the God of Israel then give His crumbs to her?
