Matthew 15:26

Children's [τ ω ν τ ε κ ν ω ν]. Bengel observes that while Christ spoke severely to the Jews, he spoke honorably of them to those without. Compare John 4:22.

Dogs [κ υ ν α ρ ι ο ι ς]. Diminutive : little dogs. In ver. 27, Wyc. renders the little whelps, and Tynd., in both verses, whelps. The picture is of a family meal, with the pet house - dogs running round the table.

Their masters. The children are the masters of the little dogs. Compare Mark 7:28, "the children's crumbs."
