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 Jesús no le respondió palabra. Así que sus discípulos se acercaron a él y le rogaron:—Despídela, porque viene detrás de nosotros gritando.

24 —No fui enviado sino a las ovejas perdidas del pueblo de Israel —contestó Jesús.

25 La mujer se acercó y, arrodillándose delante de él, le suplicó:—¡Señor, ayúdame!

26 Él le respondió:—No está bien quitarles el pan a los hijos y echárselo a los perros.

27 —Sí, Señor; pero hasta los perros comen las migajas que caen de la mesa de sus amos.
