In Matthew 15 Jesus has a somewhat bizarre and mysterious encounter with the Canaanite Woman. When the Canaanite Woman asks Jesus for help to heal her her daughter, he responds by saying that he came for lost sheep of Israel and just as you do not give food to the dogs, so too, he could not help the Canaanite woman.
But, due to her persistence, he ends up healing her daughter.
