And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord - or, as the same word nai (G3483)] is rendered in Matthew 15:27, "Truth, Lord"
Yet the dogs eat of the children's crumbs - "which fall from their master's table" (Matt.) 'I thank Thee, O blessed One, for that word! That's my whole case. Not of the children? True. A dog? True also: Yet the dogs under the table are allowed to eat of the children's crumbs-the droppings from their master's full table: Give me that, and I am content: One crumb of power and grace from Thy table shall cast the devil out of my daughter.' O what lightning quickness, what reach of instinctive ingenuity, do we behold in this pagan woman!
