Mais il ne lui répondit pas un mot. Et ses disciples s'étant approchés le priaient disant: Renvoie-la, car elle crie derrière nous.

Expliqué aux enfants

Imagine you're trying really hard to get your friend's attention so they can share their snack with you, but they don't look at you. Your friend’s other friends tell him to ignore you because you won’t stop asking. But even though he doesn’t answer right away, it shows how much you want that snack!

Contexte historique

Matthew wrote this around the late first century AD for a primarily Jewish-Christian audience. Jesus was traveling through different regions in Galilee and surrounding areas where he often encountered people seeking his help or attention.

Application pour aujourd'hui

In today's context, we can see this as an example of persistence in faith. Think about a time you had to keep asking for something important until it was granted. This teaches us not to give up even when our requests are initially ignored.
