There is also a sub-story here—one hidden in plain sight. Why were some Pharisees so adversarial toward Jesus? The first point worth noting is that not all Pharisees were against Jesus.

In this Gospel, Jesus is approached by an unnamed Canaanite woman who asks him for help. At first, Jesus responds in a way that seems unusually critical. In biblical times, the Canaanites were regarded as outsiders and rivals, but that alone does not fully explain the sharpness of …
