Mark 7:25 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 7:25

For a certain woman
One way and means by which he came to be more openly discovered who he was, was this; a woman in those parts,

whose young daughter had an unclean spirit;
a devil, with which she was possessed; hearing of some miracles he had wrought in healing the sick, and casting out devils;

heard of him, and came;
and understanding that he was in such a place made all haste to him;

and fell at his feet;
and with great respect and reverence to so venerable a person, threw herself at his feet, and earnestly entreated mercy for her child; believing he had power to cast the devil out of her, though at a distance from her.

Mark 7:25 In-Context

23 All these wicked things come from within, and they make a person unclean."

24 Next, Yeshua left that district and went off to the vicinity of Tzor and Tzidon. There he found a house to stay in and wanted to remain unrecognized, but keeping hidden proved impossible.

25 Instead, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit in her came to him and fell down at his feet.

26 The woman was a Greek, by birth a Syro-phoenician, and she begged him to drive the demon out of her daughter.

27 He said, "Let the children be fed first, for it is not right to take the children's food and toss it to their pet dogs."
