From BibleWiki
23: ο δε ουκ απεκριθη αυτη λογον και προσελθοντες οι μαθηται αυτου ηρωτων αυτον λεγοντες απολυσον αυτην οτι κραζει οπισθεν ημων
23: But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and
besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
23: Who answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought
him, saying: Send her away, for she crieth after us:
But he answered her not a word. This was done to test her faith, and that there might be exhibited to the apostles an example of the effect of persevering supplication. The result shows that it was not unwillingness to aid her, or neglect of her. It was proper that the strength of her faith should be fully tried.
