27 But Jesus said to her, "Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs."
28 And she answered and said to Him, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children's crumbs."
29 Then He said to her, "For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter."
In the above, the reader must understand that the 'children' Jesus came first to 'feed' were the 12 tribes of Israel - House of Israel. Then with them, all mankind who will hear.
The custom in that day used in this 'testing' of the Samaritan woman's faith, was not to interrupt the meal to feed the house pets - in this case 'little dogs.' Though some will try to twist this metaphor into an insult of this Gentile woman, this could not be further from the truth. Just read Jesus' reaction in Matthew 15:28 to see for yourself : 'O woman, great is your faith.'
The woman understood Jesus' test and persistently replied that even during the meal 'the little dogs' consumed 'the children's crumbs' that fall from the table. Jesus rewarded her persistence, granting her request and demanding the demon leave her little girl.
