MATTHEW 15:28 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.”
Then Jesus answered her: O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire. And her daughter was healed instantly. The commendation of great faith — the same superlative applied to no Jewish person in Matthew's Gospel, though it is used for the centurion in Matthew 8:10 — is the climax of the encounter. The healing from that moment communicates the instant fulfillment of the faith-driven request. The Canaanite woman who was outside the mission's stated scope received the greatest commendation of faith in the Gospel.
