Contextual Overview
24 And rising up from there, he went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And entering into the house, He desired no one to know, but He could not be hidden. 25 For hearing about Him, a woman came up, one whose daughter had an unclean spirit. And she fell down at His feet. 26 And the woman was a Greek, a Syro-phoenician by race. And she asked Him, that He would cast out the demon from her daughter. 27 And Jesus said to her, First, allow the children to be satisfied, for it is not good to take the children's bread and to throw it to the dogs. 28 But she answered and said to Him, Yes, Lord; for even the dogs under the table eat from the crumbs of the children. 29 And He said to her, Because of this word, go. The demon has gone out from your daughter. 30 And going away to her house, she found the demon had gone out, and her daughter was laid on the couch.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And she answered and said unto him, yes, Lord,.... Agreeing to, and acquiescing in, what he said; which she seemed to have understood, though delivered in a proverbial way; and very appropriately replies,
yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs; which they leave, or let fall: signifying that she did not envy the blessings of the Jews, or desire any thing might be done injurious to them; only that this favour might be granted her, which she owned she was unworthy of, that her daughter might be healed. She tacitly owns, that the character of dogs belonged to the Gentiles, and to her and hers among the rest; that they were vile and base in themselves, inferior to the Jews, as to privileges, like dogs under the table; that the provisions with which the table of the Gospel ministry was furnished, was not for them; at least, that they were quite undeserving of them: but however, whereas dogs were allowed to eat crumbs, which now and then fell from the table, or out of the children's hands and laps; so such unworthy Gentiles as she, might be allowed a small benefit or favour by the bye, when it did not take from, and was no disadvantage to the Jews;
