Файл:Michael Angelo Immenraet - Jesus and the Woman of Canaan.jpg

The Woman of Canaan by Michael Angelo Immenraet, 17th century

The Exorcism of the Syrophoenician woman's daughter is one of the miracles of Jesus and is recounted in the Gospel of Mark in chapter 7 (Mark 7:24–30) and in the Gospel of Matthew in chapter 15 (Matthew 15:21–28). In Matthew, the story is recounted as the healing of a Canaanite woman's daughter. According to both accounts, Jesus exorcised the woman's daughter whilst travelling in the region of Tyre and Sidon, on account of the faith shown by the woman.

Passage

Jesus exorcising the Canaanite Woman's daughter. From Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, 15th century.

The relevant passage in Matthew 15:22–28 reads as follows:

Many English translations of the Gospels state that Jesus was in the region of Tyre and Sidon and had Шаблон:Em from Galilee where he had entered in discussion with the Pharisees over their interpretation of the Jewish law. The Geneva Bible and the King James Version suggest that the visit was to the coast (i.e. the Mediterranean Sea), but the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges argues that Jesus went to "the neighbourhood, [or] district, not the sea-shore, as might be thought".

This episode is, according to Graham H. Twelftree, an example of how Jesus emphasizes the value of faith, as also shown in the Healing the Centurion's servant episode.

The woman described in the miracle, the Syrophoenician woman (Mark 7:26; Шаблон:Lang, Шаблон:Transliteration) is also called a "Canaanite" (Matthew 15:22; Шаблон:Lang, Шаблон:Transliteration) and is an unidentified New Testament woman from the region of Tyre and Sidon. "The woman isШаблон:Nbsp[...] described as Syrophoenician by race. It is unclear whether Mark seeks to distinguish between a Phoenician from Syria and one from northern Africa or between someone living in the coastal area of Syria and someone living in the central part." Her other notable characteristic is her non-Jewish status: the Gospel of Mark adds that she is a Gentile (Шаблон:Lang, Шаблон:Transliteration, literally 'Greek').

The third-century pseudo-Clementine homily refers to her name as Justa and her daughter's name as Berenice.

Commentary

Thomas Aquinas comments on this passage in his homily on the sinful soul, saying,

Шаблон:BlockquoteCharles Ellicott contrasts this miracle with the miraculous healing of the centurion's servant in Шаблон:Bibleverse. According to Ellicott, whilst both miracles demonstrated Jesus's inclusive attitudes to Gentiles, Jesus had a more favorable view of the centurion. Compared to the Syrophoenician woman, the centurion behaved like the proselyte of the gate, due to his contributions in building a synagogue and moral conduct, which was commended by Jewish elders. Meanwhile, the Syrophoenician woman made no attempt to show she was a true convert. Ellicott also links Jesus's hostility to the curse of Canaan in Шаблон:Bibleverse since Syrophoenicians descended from Canaan. Nonetheless, Шаблон:Bibleverse shows Jesus's receptivity to Syrians, including those that did not openly profress their faith. According to Chrysostom, the Syrians demonstrated their strong faith by directly bringing their sick to him.
