In Matthew 15:22-28, who did Jesus refer to as dogs, saying that it was not right to give the children's bread to the dogs.

Dogs that belonged to the Israelites
The lost sheep of the Israelites
Anyone outside of the family of the Israelites

Correct Answer

A. Anyone outside of the family of the Israelites

Explanation

In Matthew 15:22-28, Jesus referred to anyone outside of the family of the Israelites as dogs when a Canaanite woman approached him for help. Initially, Jesus stated that his mission was to the lost sheep of the Israelites, implying that his focus was primarily on the Jewish people. However, the woman persisted in her faith, and Jesus commended her for her great faith and granted her request. This interaction highlights Jesus' initial intent to prioritize his ministry to the Israelites but also demonstrates his willingness to extend his grace and blessings to those outside of the Jewish community.

From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tax? From their sons or from others?” ²⁶And when he said, “From others,” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons ______. -Matt 17:25-26

The correct answer is "are free." In this passage, Jesus is questioning whether kings take toll or tax from their own sons or from others. When the person responds that kings take toll or tax from others, Jesus then concludes that if the sons of the kings are exempt from paying, then they are free from this obligation. The implication is that the sons of kings are not subject to the same taxation as others.
