It seems that Jesus wasn't contradicting the laws of cleanliness. He was saying that the relative EMPHASIS that the Jews placed on the rituals was not as critical as what was in their hearts. Jesus was not contradicting the ceremonial laws, but he was giving them their place in the heirarchy of importance to God.
In the case of the Syrophoenician woman, jesus seems to have made a play on words with the word "children", meaning the Children of Israel, and actual children. The woman continues the word-play. I wonder why Jesus would make this statement to her. It could be taken almost as him mocking her, and that would not be his intent. Could someone discuss this?
