Context of Mark 7:28
26(and the woman was a Greek, Syrophenician by race), and asked him that he would cast the demon out of her daughter. 27But [Jesus] said to her, Suffer the children to be first filled; for it is not right to take the children's bread and cast it to the dogs. But she answered and says to him, Yea, Lord; for even the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. 29And he said to her, Because of this word, go thy way, the demon is gone out of thy daughter. 30And having gone away to her house she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 24-30Verses 24-30 Christ never put any from him that fell at his feet, which a poor trembling soul may do. As she was a good woman, so a good mother. This sent her to Christ. His saying, Let the children first be filled, shows that there was mercy for the Gentiles, and not far off. She spoke, not as making light of the mercy, but magnifying the abundance of miraculous cures among the Jews, in comparison with which a single cure was but as a crumb. Thus, while…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 27-28Jesus responds to the woman in what might seem like a severe way. But their interaction shows that Jesus wanted to see her faith (compare Matthew 15:28).
