This illustration depicts the biblical encounter between Jesus and the Canaanite woman (Matthew 15:21-28), where she persistently appeals for her demon-possessed daughter’s healing despite initial reluctance. Her humble yet bold response-“Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table”-moves Jesus to commend her great faith and grant her request. The thought bubble visually references her metaphor, reinforcing the theme of inclusive grace.
