Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 7:24

And from thence he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it; and he could not be hid.As Dorris noted, "This is the only instance in the Lord's ministry when he went beyond the bounds of Palestine."[11] Tyre and Sidon were the principal cities of ancient Phoenicia and were among the most distinguished of antiquity.Tyre was founded in the 15th century B.C. on an island about half a mile from the coast and was for... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 7:25

But straightway a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet.Matthew (Matthew 15:21-28) added dramatic details omitted by Mark, giving the very words of the woman as she hailed Jesus as "O Lord, thou Son of David," thus identifying the woman as one who believed that Jesus was both "Lord" and the Jewish Messiah.

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 7:28

But she answered and said unto him, Yea, Lord; even the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.Yea, Lord ... This says, "Yes, Lord, I indeed belong to the people called `dogs' by the Jews; but is it too much to ask that a LITTLE dog under the children's table might have just a crumb of the bounty which you have given to them?" This woman's reply was rich with the profoundest truth of all time. Note the implications of what she said: (1) By placing herself under the children's table,... read more
