  • PER180 Healing of the Syrophoenician woman's daughter

    This article examines the healing of the daughter of the Syrophoenician woman, highlighting the openness of Jesus’ message to the Gentiles. Drawing on the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, it brings out human faith beyond ethnic and cultural boundaries. The narrative sheds light on Jesus’ priority mission to Israel, while acknowledging the demonstration of faith by non-Jews.

    Mark 7.24-30 (King James Version) :
    And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

Contradictions

  • CTD043 In which language did Jesus speak?

    Article CTD043 addresses the alleged contradiction between Matthew (“Eli, Eli…”) and Mark (“Eloï, Eloï…”) regarding Jesus’ cry on the cross. Linguistic analysis shows that Jesus spoke Aramaic (as evidenced by “sabachthani” in both texts) and that the difference between “Eli” (the Hebrew form) and “Eloï” (the Aramaic form) simply reflects each evangelist’s adaptation to his readership. There is no contradiction.

    Matthew 5.17-18 (King James Version) :
    Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
