Matthew 15:22 is the parallel account of this event, calling her a Canaanite woman crying out to Jesus.

Galatians 3:28 declares no Jew or Gentile in Christ — this Gentile woman exemplifies that inclusion in action.

Colossians 3:11 echoes no Gentile or Jew in Christ — her story illustrates that principle of universal access.

Luke 4:25 mentions the widow of Zarephath in Sidon — a Gentile woman helped by Elijah, prefiguring this Syrophoenician woman.

Galatians 2:15 articulates the Jewish view of Gentiles as 'sinners,' which underlies Jesus' initial reluctance here.
