NgokukaMathewu 15:21-28

UJesu ephuma lapho wamuka, waya emaphandleni aseTire naseSidoni. Bheka, kwavela emikhawulweni yakhona owesifazane waseKhanani, wakhala wathi: “Ngihawukele, Nkosi, Ndodana kaDavide! Indodakazi yami ikhwelwe kabi yidemoni.” Kepha akamphendulanga ngazwi. Base besondela kuye abafundi bakhe, bamncenga, bathi: “Mmukise ngokuba uyakhala emva kwethu.” Kodwa waphendula wathi: “Angithunyelwanga kwabanye, kuphela ezimvini ezilahlekileyo zendlu yakwa-Israyeli.” Kepha wayeseza, wakhuleka kuye wathi: “Nkosi ngisize.” Waphendula wathi: “Akukuhle ukuthatha isinkwa sabantwana, usiphonse ezinjaneni.” Yena wathi: “Yebo, Nkosi; kepha nezinjana zidla imvuthuluka ewa etafuleni labaninizo.” Khona uJesu waphendula, wathi kuye: “O mame, kukhulu ukukholwa kwakho; makube kuwe njengokuthanda kwakho.” Indodakazi yakhe yasinda kusukela kuleso sikhathi.
