Why did Jesus command people to not tell others of the miracles He performed? | GotQuestions.org

His words can sound exclusionary, yet moments later, He grants her request. Why did Jesus say in Matthew 15:24 that He was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, seemingly rejecting the Canaanite woman begging Him to heal her demon-possessed daughter? This wasn't a denial but a powerful test of faith and a direct fulfillment of prophecy for the Jewish Messiah. See how Christ's statement reveals the specific priorities of His earthly ministry, why He taught that "salvation is of the Jews," and how this critical encounter shows He is truly the Savior of all who will believe.
