Best Answer

In the first century CE, nearly all the peoples of the Middle East spoke Greek as their everyday language, except the Jews, who spoke Aramaic. Because everyone else spoke Greek, it became Jewish practice to refer to others as 'Greeks' regardless of their ethnic background. So, both gospels are right - the Canaanites of coastal Palestine were also called Greeks.

Yes, both references are about the same incident where Jesus healed the daughter of a woman. In Matthew 15:22, she is referred to as a "Canaanite woman," while in Mark 7:26, she is called a "Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth." Both accounts describe her as a Gentile seeking help for her daughter.

Why did Simon's mother-in-law wait on Simon and Andrew?

There is no particular record of this in the Bible. When Jesus healed Peter's mother in law, (Matthew 8.14), the Bible says: And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them. (Luke 4.39) She was simply being a good host. Jesus and the disciples were in her house and she was now able to wait on them as Jesus had healed her, so she did.
