JESUS Calls a Woman a DOG!? | Matthew

[@ThankYou-bn6bp]

I’m so grateful to find your video. I’m a new Christian learning the scriptures. Today was the first time I read about this encounter, and it really broke my heart because I thought He didn’t love me as I thought but merely saw me as a dog. I’m glad to know there was a deeper meaning to His demeanor.

[@AmyFord-c5d]

Thank you so much ❤no other video explained it better, Jesus knew the woman before she came he knew how she would react we were the ones who needed to learn along with her

[@rtd2782]

I want to thank you so much for this video. I have struggled to understand why Jesus said to the woman in Matt 15:26, not because our Lord would offend and leave it at that; but because there was a lesson to learn here for all of us. You explained this so well; after all this time I finally understand why our wonderful Lord said what He said. In short it was a test of faith and grace for the woman. In the end, God receives all the glory and joy to see such faith in Him.

The Sins of the Canaanites 3-4 "You hated the people who lived in your holy land long ago, because they did horrible things: they practiced magic and conducted unholy worship; 5 they killed children without mercy and ate the flesh and blood of human beings. They were initiated into secret rituals[a]." They were usually molech woshippers or satan worshippers.. thats why Jesus showed strict authority but God's glory and mercy comes to those who believe in his son Jesus Christ.

Oh 😯 my !!!! Just what I was looking for. This passage was explained in layman terms. Easy ,simple ,fun n simply short. I am delighted to have heard you . I understood that dogs 🐕 (gentiles)have more faith then humans ( Jews) at that time. Wow 😮 Jesus turned the tables, to teach us that we are all alike by healing her daughter. So in this passage he exposes the prejudice goin on. Thank you 🙏🏻 GBU.

[@omerabuzayd]

nope, read the book of Genesis 9:18 to 27, Noah cursed Canaan and made him slave to Shem and Japeth, so all his nation after him will be slaves to the nations of Shem and Japeth forever, that's why Jesus (son of Shem) called the Canaanite woman a dog, and rewarded her for admitting it, check the books of the jew scholars you will find the whole story.

[@Provocative-K]

The word "meet" in this context means "proper" or "appropriate." So when Jesus says "It is not meet to take the children's bread and to cast it to the dogs," He is saying that it is not proper or appropriate to take something that is meant for one group of people (the children) and give it to another group (the dogs). In this passage, Jesus is speaking with a Canaanite woman who has come to Him asking for healing for her daughter. At first, Jesus seems to ignore her, but when His disciples urge Him to send her away, He tells her that His mission is to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. The woman persists in asking for help, and Jesus responds with the statement about not giving the children's bread to the dogs. Some scholars interpret Jesus' statement as a test of the woman's faith and persistence. Others suggest that He may have been using the language and attitudes of His culture to challenge the prevailing notion that non-Jews were inferior to Jews. In either case, the woman's response shows her faith and humility, and Jesus commends her for her great faith and heals her daughter.

Apr 28, 2024, this is the 1st time I have seen this video. Almost 8 years old and still this is one of the best videos I've seen on the Canaanite woman. I've heard other explanations on this topic and why she was called a dog. Lots of people try to justify that the Lord calls her a little puppy, a house dog. I'm glad you didn't go that route. I rather be a loyal, faithful dog 🐕 by the master's table than a stupid lost sheep or goat from Israel always bucking the Lord on their way to hell. I mean that with the most respect.

@@2BeLikeChrist Hello, brother. I struggle with this passage a little bit. The Canaanite woman's persistent faith is commended and rewarded eventually, but the Lord's response (at least initially), seems somewhat callous. Is this purely a Jew-Gentile thing? I don't think so, because the Lord Jesus also commanded the faith of the Roman Centurion, as having greater faith than in all Israel, but without the children/dog comparison; and there is no mention that Jesus 'answered him not a word', as was the case in regards to the Canaanite woman. In other words, it seems like the Lord was quicker to commend the faith of the Centurion (Gentile) than the faith of the Caananite woman (also a Gentile). Do you think this is partially because a Gentile man in the Roman world was more likely to be seen as 'more valuable' in Roman society in the time of Jesus, and therefore she had to 'work harder' for Jesus to answer her request than that of the Centurion? I'm genuinely curious and I'd greatly appreciate your view on this, and ultimately the Lord Jesus was gracious enough to answer her request as well as the request of the Centurion, which I'm thankful for. Again, thank you and I appreciate your response!

[@riversoflivingwater7006]

@@enterthebruce91 ​ There’s no partiality in Christ. There’s no dark thing in Him. To even consider that He is like us humans who put one person above another exposes what’s in the human heart. When we don’t understand something to call Jesus calloused is very much the nature of humanity to jump to conclusions and think negatively as our sin nature is very dark negative and ugly and it is who we are… we are susceptible to become calloused… as we can look around and see the love of many growing cold. The parable of the sower tells much about the soil of our hearts. When you’re dealing with sickness of the human heart and demon possession it’s very ugly and calloused is putting it lightly. Jesus is not speaking to the woman in the way we would speak to someone. We think it’s a put down because we have all gotten annoyed irritated lost our patience and yes your heart is exposed just thinking Jesus is looking down on her… because that’s your heart being exposed. People who are filled with pride would look down on someone. Jesus is describing those in idolatrous lifestyles. Those who love the darkness. Those like today when you think of a satanist and them doing human sacrifices sorcery witchcraft killing their babies. This is the canaanites. Have you heard or seen the hatred towards God from those who serve Baal. Have you been witness to seeing those who serve Baal openly repent and humble their hearts to Jesus. It’s a sight to behold. Jesus is calling the sickness of eating vomit what it is. In the book of proverb’s it describes a dog going back to its vomit. Proverbs 26:11 Like a dog that returns to his vomit is a fool who repeats his folly. In our folly when we were once far off enemies to God we have all been eating the vomit. Sin is repulsive to God and yet He sent Jesus to the lost sheep. Jesus came not to call the righteous to repentance but those who know their in need of a physician. Luke 5:31-32 The brilliance of Christ and Love of Christ should never be reduced to the lens of our finite minds and limited view and faulty perspective. Accusations that are made about favoritism towards men is right out of the devils playbook. It is a gross mischaracterization of the heart of God towards all peoples. For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten Son. John 3:16 we can be very clear He so Loved the world. He desires that none perish and that all come to repentance. This is why we need deliverance healing and our minds to be washed in the word and renewed as the Bible tells us in Romans. Often I been reading through the years and I can see the wrong patterns of thought…. the ways in which I was abused… the filters in which sin is so hostile and evil…. And as we are washed in the word and He creates in us a clean heart and renews a right Spirit within us we begin to see and think in love power and a sound mind. We think more like Jesus. Remember man looks on the appearance God looks on the heart and knows the heart of a person. He’s God in the flesh He knew exactly what her response would be. Many times in my own walk with Jesus He has spoke to my heart in ways that in the moment I cried because it seemed harsh and I didn’t understand why He was bringing a certain thing to my mind. He was speaking to me in images and impressions in my mind and I would cry not understanding why He was bringing a certain thing up….. It lead me to have specific conversations with Him about things that happened to me that deeply wounded my soul…. But I know In my heart He is brilliant He is kind He is beautiful He is perfect love that casts out fear. I know Him and He knows me… so I cried out in these moments… and spoke to Him very directly and asked Him questions and cried about the thing He was speaking to me about abs showing me…. Not understanding where He was going with it…. It always surprised me by the end as He brought something up and out of me that I needed to be healed and delivered. It also tested my Faith in that even though I didn’t understand I trusted Him. In Heaven will know in full as we are fully known… here we know in part. God used woman in just as Mighty ways as men. I remember when He showed me the Samaritan woman the first evangelist. The woman was the first to see the empty tomb. All throughout the Bible like in the book of 1 Samuel chapter 1 when one man accuses Hannah of being drunk and another man is neglecting to consider the grief of Hannah not being able to bear children and the misery she was being tormented by Penniniah. God answers Hannah’s prayers. God hears her and moves on her behalf. It all comes down to humility surrender trust and obedience. The more you humble your heart to God the more He will reveal about Himself to anyone who is hungry to truly know Him and not to jump to conclusions about Him on our finite thinking. He’s so beautiful a little child can understand Him and so incomprehensible brilliant the greatest scholar will never figure Him out. It’s His Holy Spirit that illuminates the scriptures to a humble heart. And well we will only know in part here. We have all of eternity to be blown away by the mysteries of His AWESOMENESS!! I can’t wait!!! “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts Isaiah 55:8-9 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. 1 Corinthians 13:12

The first lesson learned is the importance of great faith. For example the Centurion had so much faith in Jesus, he knew that Jesus even could heal from a distance. The second thing we learn is that Jesus was not prejudice. The Centurion was a gentile. The Centurion even knew that most Jews would not even come into his house, because he was a gentile or non-Jew. A third thing to note is that even though the Centurion was a great man, he was concerned about his servant. He had compassion even for the lowly. Matthew 8: 5 When he entered Ca·perʹna·um, an army officer came to him, pleading with him 6 and saying: “Sir, my servant is laid up in the house with paralysis, and he is suffering terribly.” 7 He said to him: “When I get there, I will cure him.” 8 The army officer replied: “Sir, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof, but just say the word and my servant will be healed.” NWT The Centurion was a lover of Jehovah God’s people. He had built the Jews a place of worship. While there in Jerusalem as a representative of Caesar. This action went beyond the call of duty. Luke 7: 4 “They came up to Jesus and began to plead with him earnestly, saying: “He is worthy of your granting him this, 5 for he loves our nation and he himself built our synagogue.” 6 So Jesus went with them”. NWT Jesus and his Heavenly Father listens the pleas of all sincere persons. He is especially fond of those who unselfishly seek help for others. Luke 7: 9 “When Jesus heard these things, he was amazed at him, and he turned to the crowd following him and said: “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found so great a faith.” 10 And when those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave in good health”. NWT

LIKENING her to a dog was an analogy given on the level of how they ALREADY knew was the common way between the peoples, likely the Canaanite people didn't feel too highly about the Jewish People either,... BUT,.. she came to HIM, thus, she interjects her problem to HIM KNOWING how the Jewish People feel about the Canaanite people and when He finally speaks He asks her would you make a meal for your family and then set it on the floor for the dogs to eat, no you wouldn't, you made it for your family but cleverly she states the common known fact that even the dogs get the scraps that fall from the masters table, meaning she KNOWS the Jewish customs well and how they consider themselves the chosen people of God and her to be an outsider by knowing how they frown on intermarriage with other peoples as known to be directed by their God of Israel, so she KNOWS well her standing among this man who clearly does miracles and thus DOES have the ability to help HER in her desperate need even if she ISN'T Jewish,..so she still keeps begging, not giving up even though he allows her to sense Him NOT hearing her pleas,.. when he DOES speak to her he must first properly dispose of the chasm that is understandably known to be between her, Him, and all there who see this taking place,... when she persist and says even the dogs get what fall from the masters table she is openly agreeing that she has NO right to the First Blessings of the Israel but will be content with the scraps he speaks of Believing it will do what she needs,.. This is how he wishes the people of Israel would Faithfully trust but they seem to always be told "ye of little Faith, yet SHE is marveled at for her Great Faith, and thus her plea is granted for ALL to see, showing them ALL,.. this will be for the whole world, and not just for the Jews.

How is this difficult to understand? She had to admit that she was inferior but still had faith to recieve help.

[@enterthebruce91]

Because of the perceived 'harshness' of Jesus' initial response. Remember that Jesus healed the Centurion's servant, yet he did not use the children/dog illustration but healed him without saying that. The argument could be made why wasn't Jesus seemingly as harsh to the Centurion as he was to the Cannanite woman (both Gentiles and seen by many Jews in Jesus' day as inferior). It's a difficult passage because on the surface it seems out of character for Jesus to say something like that.

It was at this point that Gentiles also became the chosen of God. They were more humble than Jews for one thing. Thank you, Jesus!

[@wlcsp]

One thing I don't understand, Jesus said he is sent only to His people. That's why He kinda rejected the woman's request the first time. But in Matthew 8, Jesus was asked by a centurion to heal his servant. A centurion is very likely a gentile too. Why didn't Jesus reject him ? Is it because the servant is a Jew ?

[@sandergoldberg4508]

It may not state this but the centurion probably had a sword pointed at his head when he asked.

After having been a cause of scandal in his homeland, in Nàzaret, and having received the announcement of the death of John the Baptist, Jesus had withdrawn on the boat, in a deserted place, on the sidelines: nevertheless a large crowd had followed him on foot, leaving the city. Now, after having reproached Peter for doubting and having been a man of little faith, and having discussed with scribes and Pharisees about what causes uncleanness to men (Matthew 15: 1-20), he withdraws again, this time. in pagan land, in the area of ​​Tire and Sidone: there too he is joined, not by an Israelite crowd, but by a pagan woman. The counterpoint, in truth, between Jesus' retreat and his attracting a multitude to himself in this way, is even stronger than the previous one: in fact, the woman is one, but she is the symbol of all the nations to which the gospel, to the ends of the earth (Acts 1,8). The starting point, for the infidels, is the same as for the Israelites: their daughter is possessed by a demon. Common is the fatigue of living for all men, without distinction: being paralyzed by sin, slaves to one's vices, not being able to flourish. However, Jesus' reaction is very different: in Israel he never tires of teaching; here he instead he doesn't utter a word. In fact, in his short life, Jesus only addressed the Jews: it is the price of the incarnation, self-limitation of the One who is infinite in a defined point in time and space. Just as he was unable to make his earthly voice heard if not for a few years, so he was unable to push it except within a limited region. Nonetheless, his Word has come down to us through the centuries: thanks to the testimony of his disciples, from generation to generation, in an unbroken chain (Luke 1,1-4; 1 John 1,1-3). The delimitation of his historical mission requires our involvement: we become missionaries together with him, children of the same Father. However, that woman already received the gift of healing her daughter directly from Jesus: how did she manage to force him, to anticipate her times? Jesus himself gives the answer: through the greatness of his faith. In women, faith is recognizing in herself her own need and indigence, and in Jesus the medicine capable of healing her, the bread capable of satisfying her (John 6:35). However, it is enough for her to collect a single crumb of the bread multiplied in the desert, a particle of the Eucharist: and then, as the desert was transformed into a garden (Matthew 14:19). The Son offered his body for everyone, so that each one, welcoming it, learns in turn to live as a son.

Jesus said: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." And the woman is truly poor in spirit, and the kingdom promised by Jesus belongs to her

Great explanation, please keep this up 👌🏿 Will you be doing every book in the bible?

One of my favorite passages and I believe this is when Jesus realize the greatest faith comes from the gentiles. So, Jesus is sent to be born as a Jew and to live a lowly and humble life. He calls himself “The son of man.” (Described in the book of Enoch.) and lives as a carpenter. So he’s been sent to save the Jews his people both racially and morally, and this gentile comes up to him. Jesus first rejects her because she was a non Jew, but she shows him her intelligence and her faith. When Jesus said “is it not wrong to give the bread meant for the children to the dog?.” And she reply’s instantly “but even the dogs feed off the crumbs that fall of the masters table.” She showed her cunning, and her restless faith within Christ. Though she wasn’t a Jew she called him “the son of David.” She didn’t view Jesus as merely the god of the Jews, but the god of the world, and then he helps her in that very hour! Jesus ministers was first to the Jews than to the gentiles, but I believe Christ shall the children of Israel were going astray from him and he even declared “I have not seen such faith even in all of Israel.” (Specking to a Roman solider.) so, in all I think this is when Jesus begins to realize the faith in the living god comes from the gentiles and not of the Jews as they turned away from the word of lord, and since the death of Christ have been expelled from 109 country’s, and have been nearly genocide by the Nazis.

Oscar Job is a very poor example so poor in fact that South Park at to use to put Christianity in a bad light. Job isn’t set in any pacific time so we don’t even know if it was a metaphysical story; say that it is and job actually existed and god tested him what essentially happened? God kills a few dozen to prove to satan the faith that god renders and proves how any such faith could never be given to satan? Job lives a life of 60 years maybe suffers for 30 years? And in return receives eternal life in heaven! So your saying 30 bad years is unforgivable? Did he not repay job for his faith with enteral life in paradise? Which would be better 60 good years and death; or 30 bad years and heaven? You will believe what you wish to believe which is why your attack god with your feeble attempt at claiming that he is unfair, but blood pays for blood god kills and god resurrects.

she was not called a dog in any form.. jesus says he uses parables and stories to teach and to help us understand. but he did call her woman of great faith.

[@yayavossy2034]

[@Imsobendy]

This whole verse makes me sad. For real. Partly because I don’t understand it partly because it just does, I will not deny that Yeshua/Jesus is the messiah but for whom, if it’s not for me it makes me feel discouraged. Like basically says he came for the Israelites and now everyone on insta if fighting over who the Israelites really are, I thought Christianity or belief in the only God was about loving each other but lately I just see a lot of racism and it’s making me sad.

[@ramimoussi1841]

Just convert to Islam and you won't find a single mistake in the bible.

[@binary]

I agree this passage really messes me up. This is why people away from religion. It's so sad. Just remember that Jesus made it a point to save us all after he resurrected. Maybe he was evolving over time just like us.

[@9000o-d9f]

Jesus said: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." And the woman is truly poor in spirit, and the kingdom promised by Jesus belongs to her

[@Provocative-K]

The word "meet" in this context means "proper" or "appropriate." So when Jesus says "It is not meet to take the children's bread and to cast it to the dogs," He is saying that it is not proper or appropriate to take something that is meant for one group of people (the children) and give it to another group (the dogs). In this passage, Jesus is speaking with a Canaanite woman who has come to Him asking for healing for her daughter. At first, Jesus seems to ignore her, but when His disciples urge Him to send her away, He tells her that His mission is to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. The woman persists in asking for help, and Jesus responds with the statement about not giving the children's bread to the dogs. Some scholars interpret Jesus' statement as a test of the woman's faith and persistence. Others suggest that He may have been using the language and attitudes of His culture to challenge the prevailing notion that non-Jews were inferior to Jews. In either case, the woman's response shows her faith and humility, and Jesus commends her for her great faith and heals her daughter.

I came looking for an explanation about this passage. I've read several commentaries as well as watched a lot of KZbin videos and this is the most plausible and christ image focused explanation that I've been taught. Thank you so much! God bless you, dear brother in Christ.

[@williamburns4247]

First of all she didn't humble herself she was posing as an Israelite, a Canaanite woman posing as a Jew trying to fool God almighty. In verse 23, Jesus was kind but he didn't ignore her he was probably looking right through her waiting for honesty. In verse 24 She was exposed by the most humble of all, God almighty. Her rebuke came because of her attempted deception... God called her a dog. Then she humbles herself and worship Him... verse 25, 26. She didn't care about herself she loves her child and for her child's sake she accepted the rebuke and ask for help.

[@yayavossy2034]

By whose authority?😂

[@minchem1]

I think Jesus was saying about the daughter who has no faith in god and who is enjoying the pleasures associated with darkness, so who am I to pull her out of this when she is the one enjoying such behaviour, like why should I pull out a piece of bread from a child and feed it to the dogs? In this context he did not refer to the woman a dog. It was the women's faith that her response that got him to agree because the woman had faith though her daughter did not. Really I don't think it was meant to call the woman a dog. It was about the pleasures of the daughter is was he was referring to that he does not think it is his business to intervene. This is my understanding of the matter.

[@JustinCarey]

yeah man!

[@fyi_ryan8777]

Thank You 💪🏼

[@marcusmees4625]

Does this Bible verse show a development in Jesus himself? Did he really want to refuse to help? Did he really think the Canaanites were not worthy of redemption? Was it only afterwards he extended his mission into redeeming all mankind?

[@9000o-d9f]

After having been a cause of scandal in his homeland, in Nàzaret, and having received the announcement of the death of John the Baptist, Jesus had withdrawn on the boat, in a deserted place, on the sidelines: nevertheless a large crowd had followed him on foot, leaving the city. Now, after having reproached Peter for doubting and having been a man of little faith, and having discussed with scribes and Pharisees about what causes uncleanness to men (Matthew 15: 1-20), he withdraws again, this time. in pagan land, in the area of ​​Tire and Sidone: there too he is joined, not by an Israelite crowd, but by a pagan woman. The counterpoint, in truth, between Jesus' retreat and his attracting a multitude to himself in this way, is even stronger than the previous one: in fact, the woman is one, but she is the symbol of all the nations to which the gospel, to the ends of the earth (Acts 1,8). The starting point, for the infidels, is the same as for the Israelites: their daughter is possessed by a demon. Common is the fatigue of living for all men, without distinction: being paralyzed by sin, slaves to one's vices, not being able to flourish. However, Jesus' reaction is very different: in Israel he never tires of teaching; here he instead he doesn't utter a word. In fact, in his short life, Jesus only addressed the Jews: it is the price of the incarnation, self-limitation of the One who is infinite in a defined point in time and space. Just as he was unable to make his earthly voice heard if not for a few years, so he was unable to push it except within a limited region. Nonetheless, his Word has come down to us through the centuries: thanks to the testimony of his disciples, from generation to generation, in an unbroken chain (Luke 1,1-4; 1 John 1,1-3). The delimitation of his historical mission requires our involvement: we become missionaries together with him, children of the same Father.
