This interaction highlights Jesus' willingness to engage with those outside the Jewish community, foreshadowing the later mission to the Gentiles. It also demonstrates His compassion and willingness to respond to faith, regardless of ethnic or cultural background.<p><b>Because of this answer</b><br>The woman's response to Jesus, showing humility and faith, is pivotal. Her answer reflects a deep understanding of Jesus' mission and authority. This moment underscores the importance of faith and persistence in prayer. It also illustrates the theme of faith being recognized and rewarded, a recurring motif in the Gospels.<p><b>you may go</b><br>Jesus grants her request, indicating His authority over spiritual realms and His power to heal. This phrase signifies the completion of the woman's plea and Jesus' acknowledgment of her faith. It also serves as a testament to the power of intercessory prayer and the belief that Jesus can act from a distance.<p><b>The demon has left your daughter</b><br>This statement confirms the miraculous healing that has taken place. It emphasizes Jesus' authority over demonic forces, a common theme in the Gospels, showcasing His divine power.

And her daughter was healed from that hour." If we suppose St. Mark's words to come in after St. Matthew's words "be it done unto thee even as thou wilt," the two narratives are perfectly consistent. Our Lord could no longer restrain himself, or resist these wonderful appeals of faith. Overcome by the skillful reasoning and importunity of the Canaanite, he gives her that which she asks, and more. He heals her daughter, and he sets a crown of gold upon her head. It is here obvious to remark that this child vexed by the unclean spirit represents the soul tempted by Satan and polluted by sin. In such a condition we must distrust our own strength, and rely only on Christ, and call upon him with humility and repentance; acknowledging ourselves to be but as dogs in his sight; that is, miserable sinners; yet not such as that we should despair of pardon, but rather that we should hope for the mercy of Christ the greater we feel our misery to be. For it is worthy of a great Saviour to cleanse and save great sinners. Again, this Gentile daughter represents the Church of the Gentiles, which, shut out from salvation by the justice of God, enters the kingdom of heaven through the door of mercy. Here was a great conversion indeed; for now the Jews through their unbelief change places with the Gentiles, and, like them, can only be admitted through the same gate of Divine mercy. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/mark/7-29.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">Then</span><br /><span class="grk">Καὶ</span> <span class="translit">(Kai)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunction<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_2532.htm">Strong's 2532: </a> </span><span class="str2">And, even, also, namely. </span><br /><br /><span class="word">[Jesus] told</span><br /><span class="grk">εἶπεν</span> <span class="translit">(eipen)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_2036.htm">Strong's 2036: </a> </span><span class="str2">Answer, bid, bring word, command.
