"Oh, what's that one??? {and of course, who said it?} I thought Jesus specifically wanted teachers to include the 'gentiles' not just the 'chosen people'?" The following two passages make it clear that the basic mission of Jesus was to the Children of Israel. He only agrees to help the Gentile (breaking the rule given in Mathew) because the deprecatory wit of the Gentile apparently affords Him some amusement. Jesus calls her a "dog" (as contrasted to the Children of Israel). She then grovels and pleads for the crumbs suitable for dogs after the "children" have eaten. He considers this a sufficient response. Mathew 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Mark 7:25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet: 7:26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. 7:27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs. 7:28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. 7:29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
