Mark 7: 24-30
Source
24Rising from there, Jesus went to the region of Tire [a], and entering a house, he did not want anyone to know, but [b] could not go unnoticed; 25 But immediately, when he heard about him, a woman whose daughter had an unclean spirit, went and fell at His feet. 26 The woman was Gentile [c], Syrophoenician by birth; and I begged him to cast the devil out of his daughter.
27 And Jesus said to her, "Let the children first be satisfied, for it is not right [d] to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs." 28 "It is true, Lord," she said; "But even the little dogs under the table eat the crumbs of the children." 29 Jesus said to him, "For this answer [e], go; already the devil has left your daughter. "30 When she returned home, she found that the girl was lying [f] in bed, and that the devil had left
This text teaches us that Jesus was going to the region of shooting and Sidon and entering a house he found a woman who humiliated and prostrated at his feet begged him to cast off his daughter an evil spirit that tormented her.
Offensively, the Jews called the gentile dogs. Although Jesus softened the term by using the word puppies that was used to designate domestic animals, instead of cruel and vicious wild dogs, his response to the woman still sounds strong. Actually, by assuming the appearance of the traditional. Jesus was drawing from her a confession of triumphant faith.
Therefore we believe that this Syro-Phoenician woman breaks the rules, this woman fills herself with faith and humbles herself to achieve her miracle, because she demonstrates understanding Jesus' affirmation that the gospel had to be offered first to the covenant people.
However, this did not offend the woman and did not prevent her from doubting her faith towards Jesus, on the contrary she motivated herself more strongly at the feet of Jesus.
This woman did not care about the cultural barrier that existed between the Gentiles and the Jews she did not want He did not care Jesus to say "dogs or dogs" to her the only thing that interested her was to call her attention of faith towards Him.
Today you can look at this reflection as an example of faith for what you want to achieve, but there is something that limits your miracle.
