Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 7:27

Mark 7:27. But Jesus said unto her, &c.— But Jesus, for the trial of her faith, seemed to reject and disdainher, saying, Pray stay, let the children of God's family (his visible church,) be first satisfied with the blessings that I am come to bestow: for as it would be thought very improper and unnatural, that a parent should take away his children's food before they have had enough, and give it to the dogs: so it is not fit that I should deal out these mercies to you, till the Jews, who... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 7:24

24. And from thence he arose, and went into the borders—or "unto the borders." of Tyre and Sidon—the two great Phoelignician seaports, but here denoting the territory generally, to the frontiers of which Jesus now came. But did Jesus actually enter this heathen territory? The whole narrative, we think, proceeds upon the supposition that He did. His immediate object seems to have been to avoid the wrath of the Pharisees at the withering exposure He had just made of their traditional religion.... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 7:25

25. For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit—or, as in Matthew ( :-), "was badly demonized." heard of him—One wonders how; but distress is quick of hearing. and fell at his feet: read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 7:26

26. The woman was a Greek—that is, "a Gentile," as in the Margin. a Syrophoelignician by nation—so called as inhabiting the Phoelignician tract of Syria. JUVENAL uses the same term, as was remarked by JUSTIN MARTYR and TERTULLIAN. Matthew (Matthew 15:22) calls her "a woman of Canaan"—a more intelligible description to his Jewish readers (compare Judges 1:30; Judges 1:32; Judges 1:33). and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter—"She cried unto Him, saying, Have... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 7:27

27. But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled—"Is there hope for me here?" "Filled FIRST?" "Then my turn, it seems, is coming!—but then, 'The CHILDREN first?' Ah! when, on that rule, shall my turn ever come!" But ere she has time for these ponderings of His word, another word comes to supplement it. for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs—Is this the death of her hopes? Nay, rather it is life from the dead. Out of the eater shall come forth... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 7:28

28. And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord—or, as the same word is rendered in :-. "Truth, Lord." yet the dogs eat of the children's crumbs—"which fall from their master's table" (Matthew 15:27). "I thank Thee, O blessed One, for that word! That's my whole case. Not of the children? True. A dog? True also: Yet the dogs under the table are allowed to eat of the children's crumbs—the droppings from their master's full table: Give me that, and I am content: One crumb of power and grace... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 7:29

29. And he said unto her—"O woman, great is thy faith" ( :-). As BENGEL beautifully remarks, Jesus "marvelled" only at two things—faith and unbelief (see :-). For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter—That moment the deed was done. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 7:30

30. And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed—But Matthew (Matthew 15:28) is more specific; "And her daughter was made whole from that very hour." The wonderfulness of this case in all its features has been felt in every age of the Church, and the balm it has administered, and will yet administer, to millions will be known only in that day that shall reveal the secrets of all hearts.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 7:24

Mark normally began a new paragraph with the Greek word kai ("and"). Here he used de ("and" or "now"). This difference indicates a significant change in the narrative. The hostility of Israel’s leaders led Jesus to correct them "and" to leave Galilee for ministry elsewhere.The New Testament writers often spoke of Phoenicia as the land of Tyre and or Sidon because they were the two notable cities of the region. Tyre stood on the Mediterranean coast about 40 miles northwest of Capernaum. Jesus... read more
