Who spoke the line about the dogs eating scraps from their masters' table?
Correct Answer:
Canaanite woman
Explanation:
The speaker is the Canaanite woman who meets Jesus in Tyre. In that exchange, Jesus says that it isn’t right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs. She replies that even the dogs under the table eat the crumbs that fall from their master's table. This humble, persistent reply recognizes both her need and the mercy available, and it leads Jesus to commend her faith and grant her request. The other figures mentioned in the choices aren’t part of this particular dialogue. The Pharisees engage Jesus in debates about purity and tradition, not this mercy-filled exchange; the centurion in Capernaum speaks in a different healing account; Peter is involved in other events and would not utter this line.
