In this short but strange story in Mark, we are left with a litany of questions. Did Jesus purposely dismiss someone in need of help? Was he being racist towards this woman? Is there something else deeper going on? What if Jesus learns something fundamental about his mission... from a Canaanite woman (an "enemy of God" in the Jewish imagination)? Wait... can Jesus learn things???
