And she said, True, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
All Commentaries on Matthew 15:27 Go To Matthew 15
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Do you see the woman's wisdom, how she did not venture so much as to say a word against it, nor was stung by other men's praises, nor was indignant at the reproach? Do you see her constancy? He said, It is not meet, and she said, Truth, Lord; He called them children, but she masters; He used the name of a dog, but she added also the dog's act. Do you see this woman's humility?
