This is again about parallels and the intrinsic symmetry of the Bible.
In the gospel of Mark Jesus' ministry is centered around the Sea of Galilee. Following Jesus journey and ministry as He crosses the Sea of Galilee, traveling back and forth between the western Jewish and the eastern Gentile side. Crossing the Sea. Something to think about.

The video didn't really detail why Jesus first refused to help the gentile woman until she said that even dogs eat the crumbs from the table.
I still don't understand why Jesus refused to outright help her.

@vizion24 I am sure there is more to this episode than meets the eye - right in the heart of the sea-crossing story and after Jesus has been rejected by Gentiles last time He was on the eastern side and again accompanied by a storm, when going there.
Seems to be in the center of the question regarding Jews & Gentiles.
Probably one of the many things in the Bible that we don't understand without divine revelation. God is the one with the real answer and we have only one teacher (Matthew 23:10).
