Mateo 15:25 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 15:25

Then came she and worshipped him
She followed the disciples into the house; and perceiving another repulse by Christ's answer to them, she pushes on, through all discouragements; her faith grows stronger, and her importunity greater: she had called Christ Lord, and the son of David before, but now she worships him as God:

Saying, Lord help me;
a short petition, but what fully and fitly expressed her case: the object she prays unto is the Lord, by which she owns his sovereignty, dominion, and power: the request she makes is for "help", signifying that her case required it; that it was such, that she could not help herself, nor any creature help her, only he, which she firmly believed; and though it was her daughter, and not she herself, that was so miserably afflicted; yet such was her sympathy, love, and affection to her, that she makes the case her own, and calls helping her daughter, helping herself; for her daughter being relieved, she would be made easy.

Mateo 15:25 In-Context

23 Pero Jesús no le contestó ni una palabra. Entonces sus discípulos le pidieron que la despidiera. «Dile que se vaya —dijeron—. Nos está molestando con sus súplicas».

24 Entonces Jesús le dijo a la mujer:

25 Ella se acercó y lo adoró, y le rogó una vez más:
—¡Señor, ayúdame!

26 Jesús le respondió:

27 —Es verdad, Señor —respondió la mujer—, pero hasta a los perros se les permite comer las sobras que caen bajo la mesa de sus amos.
