Mark 7:29 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 7:29

And he said unto her, for this saying
Or word of faith; in which she expressed such great faith in him: the Persic version reads it, "go thy way; for with the blessing of this word, the devil is gone out of thy daughter": as if this saying referred to the word Christ, and the divine power that went along with it, to the ejection of the devil; when it refers to the saying of the woman, and not to the words of Christ, which follow,

go thy way;
in peace, thy request is granted; it is as thou wouldst have it:

the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
Christ, who as God is every where, and whose divine power reaches to all places, persons, and things had, in a secret and powerful manner, cast the devil out of this woman's daughter; without going to her, or speaking to him, his power had wrought the miracle effectually.

28 But she said to him in answer, Yes, Lord: even the dogs under the table take the bits dropped by the children.

29 And he said to her, For this saying go your way; the evil spirit has gone out of your daughter.

30 And she went away to her house, and saw the child on the bed, and the evil spirit gone out.

31 And again he went out from Tyre, and came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the country of Decapolis.
