Matthew 15:24

But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Theophylact of Ochrid

AD 1107
. The disciples were oppressed by the cry of the woman and so begged Christ to send her away. They did this, not out of a lack of compassion, but rather with the desire to persuade the Lord to have mercy on her. But He said, "I was sent only to the Jews, who are lost sheep because of the wickedness of those shepherds to whom they had been entrusted." In this manner He discloses more fully the faith of the woman.
