Gospel Mark 7:24-30Missio Dei is a reader-supported publication.
“No matter how much God did for the Jews, they constantly turned to foreign gods. In punishment, God allowed pagan peoples to conquer them and enslave them.”

Yes, exactly!
I think that the faith in Jesus that the Syrophenician woman had symbolized the faith that would eventually save the Gentiles after Pentecost.
