In Matthew 15:21-28, a Gentile woman comes to Jesus begging for healing on behalf of her daughter who is tormented by a demonic spirit. Jesus uses this incident to give a dual faith test. On the one hand, He tests the disciples to challenge their prejudices. On the other hand, Jesus gives a faith test to the mother to help everyone see the greatness of her faith.
