roccondil asked: Seriously context is everything... Especially in the Bible! Christ rebuffed the woman to show the Jews an example of how they acted, and that it was wrong; at the same time he have the woman a challenge of faith to overcome.

Exactly!  Then there was when Jesus died on the cross, who was it that was first, “Oh crap… we dun goofed!”?  A centurion.  A Roman.  He was the first to recognize the atrocity.  If this is supposed to be the story of the savior of the Jews, for the Jews, why would a gentile care?  Because his recognition was symbolic of the fact that now gentiles could be saved, not just the Jews.
