Context of Mark 7:28

26The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter. 27But Jesus said to her, Let the children first be satisfied: for it is not good to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to the dogs. And she answered and said to him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs. 29And he said to her, For this saying go thy way; the demon is gone out of thy daughter. 30And when she had come to her house, she found the demon had gone out, and her daughter lying upon the bed.

Commentaries on Mark 7:28

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 24-30Verses 24-30 See this miracle explained in the notes at Matthew 15:21-28. Mark 7:24 Would have no man know it - To avoid the designs of the Pharisees he wished to be retired. Mark 7:26 A Greek - The Jews called all persons “Greeks” who were not of their nation. Compare Romans 1:14. The whole world was considered as divided into Jews and Greeks. Though she might not have been strictly a “Greek,” yet she came under this general appellation as a foreigner.Read the comment
• 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). Jesus did not use the word first to exclude her as a Gentile (non-Jew) from God’s grace (kindness and favor). Instead, it showed that his mission was directed first to the Jews (Acts 13:46; Romans 1:16). The woman replied with humility and faith. She acknowledged the priority of the Jewish people but…Read the comment

"Truth, Lord." yet the dogs eat of the children's crumbs--"which fall from their master's table" (Mt 15:27). "I thank Thee, O blessed One, for that word! That's my whole case. Not of the children? True. A dog? True also: Yet the dogs under the table are allowed to eat of the children's crumbs--the droppings from their master's full table: Give me that, and I…Read the comment
