Mark 7:24–30 and the Syrophoenician woman is an amazing picture of Jesus' words from a few verses earlier, "There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him.” Jesus crosses several religious and cultural boundaries by engaging with a Syrophoenician woman, and instead of being made unclean by her, his presence brings purifying power to her. The implications of this encounter for Christians and the mission of God are many!
