Translation: A non-Jew came to Jesus for help and he wasn't interested, and referred to non-Jews as 'dogs'
Any Christian types care to explain this blatant racism from Jesus. |

27: And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
28: 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.
