MATTHEW 15:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.”
And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and was crying: have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon. The Canaanite woman's cry combines the covenant title Son of David with the petition for mercy. The use of Son of David by a Gentile woman is the most striking feature of her initial cry: she addresses Jesus with the distinctively Jewish messianic title. The daughter severely oppressed by a demon is the specific need that her faith-cry presents.
