Context of Mark 7:29

27Jesus told her, “First I should feed the children—my own family, the Jews. It isn’t right to take food from the children and throw it to the dogs.” 28She replied, “That’s true, Lord, but even the dogs under the table are allowed to eat the scraps from the children’s plates.” “Good answer!” he said. “Now go home, for the demon has left your daughter.” 30And when she arrived home, she found her little girl lying quietly in bed, and the demon was gone. 31Jesus left Tyre and went up to Sidon before going back to the Sea of Galilee and the region of the Ten Towns.

• 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.

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2929. And he said unto her--"O woman, great is thy faith" (Mt 15:28). As Bengel beautifully remarks, Jesus "marvelled" only at two things--faith and unbelief (see Lu 7:9). For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter--That moment the deed was done.Read the comment
