Was Jesus Rude to the Canaanite Woman?
About this episode
Dr. Sri explores the context and meaning behind Jesus' interaction with the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15.
At first glance, Jesus’ words to the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15 seem shockingly harsh. Why would Jesus respond this way to a desperate mother begging for her daughter’s healing? Dr. Sri explores the first-century Jewish context, the symbolism of bread and the two miraculous feedings, and the deeper meaning behind this surprising encounter.
