29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
29 Then he told her, "For such a reply, you may go; the demon has left your daughter."
29 And he said to her, "For this statement you may go your way; the demon has left your daughter."
29 Jesus was impressed. "You're right! On your way! Your daughter is no longer disturbed. The demonic affliction is gone."
29 Then He said to her, "For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter."
29 "Good answer!" he said. "Now go home, for the demon has left your daughter."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Mark 7:29
Commentary on Mark 7:24-30
(Read Mark 7:24-30)
Christ never put any from him that fell at his feet, which a poor trembling soul may do. As she was a good woman, so a good mother. This sent her to Christ. His saying, Let the children first be filled, shows that there was mercy for the Gentiles, and not far off. She spoke, not as making light of the mercy, but magnifying the abundance of miraculous cures among the Jews, in comparison with which a single cure was but as a crumb. Thus, while proud Pharisees are left by the blessed Saviour, he manifests his compassion to poor humbled sinners, who look to him for children's bread. He still goes about to seek and save the lost.
