This is an instance of a cure effected at a distance:<\/em> other instances are, (1) the nobleman’s son at Capernaum, whom our Lord healed while Himself at Cana (Joh 4:46<\/span>), (2) the centurion’s servant (Luk 7:6<\/span>). The case also of this lonely woman not suffering the Lord “to go” until He had blessed her (comp. Gen 32:24-32<\/span>) is the greatest of the three ascending degrees of faith, “as it manifests itself in the breaking through of hindrances which would keep from Christ. The paralytic broke through the outward hindrances<\/em>, the obstacles of things merely external<\/em> (Mar 2:4<\/span>); blind Bartimus through the hindrances opposed by his fellow-men<\/em> (Mar 10:48<\/span>); but this woman, more heroically than all, through apparent hindrances, even from Christ Himself<\/em>.” Trench on the Miracles<\/em>, p. 347.<\/p>\n Verse 30. Laid upon the bed.<\/B><\/I>] The demon having tormented<\/I> her, so that her bodily strength was exhausted<\/I>, and she was now laid upon the couch to take a little rest<\/I>.

And when she was come to herhouse, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon thebed<\/B>But Matthew (Mt 15:28<\/span>)is more specific; “And her daughter was made whole from thatvery hour.” The wonderfulness of this case in all its featureshas been felt in every age of the Church, and the balm it hasadministered, and will yet administer, to millions will be known onlyin that day that shall reveal the secrets of all hearts. <\/P> Deaf and Dumb Man Healed<\/I>(Mr 7:31-37<\/span>).<\/P><\/p>\n And when she was come to her house<\/strong>,…. For with those words of Christ; she was abundantly satisfied, and went away with as great a faith, and as strong a persuasion of the dispossession, as that she came with, that Christ was able to effect it: and accordingly<\/p>\n she found the devil gone out<\/strong>; of her daughter; that she was entirely dispossessed of him, and no more vexed and tormented with him, but in perfect ease, and at rest:<\/p>\n and her daughter laid upon the bed<\/strong>; without any violent motions, convulsions, and tossings to and fro, as before; but composed and still, taking some rest, having been for some time greatly fatigued with the possession. The Ethiopic version reads, “she found her daughter clothed, and sat upon the bed”: for persons in these possessions, would often put off their clothes, and tear them in pieces; and were seldom composed, and rarely sat long in a place or posture; but now it was otherwise with her.<\/p>\n And the demon gone out <\/B> ( <\/SPAN><\/span>). This was her crumb from the children’s table. The perfect active participle expresses the state of completion. The demon was gone for good and all. <\/P> <\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1) ”And when she was come to her house,”<\/strong> (kai apelthousa eis ton oikon autes) ”And when she had gone away and come to her house,” when she arrived home, where she had left her demon possessed, unclean young daughter, Mar 7:25<\/span>.<\/p>\n 2) “She found the devil gone out,”<\/strong> (heuren to daimonion ekseleluthos) ”That the demon had gone out and away,” as Jesus had told her, Mar 7:29<\/span>; For this is the very purpose for which Jesus came, 1Jn 3:8<\/span>.<\/p>\n 3) ”And her daughter laid upon the bed.”<\/strong> (kai to paidion beblemenon epi ten klinen) ”And the young child was lying or having been laid quietly upon the couch,” asleep, the reclining chair was also used as a bed, She was healed, delivered or liberated from the control of the demon, even as that man of Gadara had been healed, Mar 5:37<\/span>; Matthew asserts that 1) Because of the mother’s faith, 2) Because of her persevering prayer and desire to see her daughter healed, 3) Our Lord gave her assurance that the daughter was made whole, from that very hour, Mat 15:28<\/span>. Thru such miracles of our Lord, men were convinced that He was the Savior, with power to forgive sins, Mar 2:10-11<\/span>; Joh 3:2<\/span>.<\/p>\n FAITH AND LOVE<\/strong><\/p>\n Some naturalists desired to obtain the wildflowers that grew on the side of a dangerous gorge in the Scotch Highlands. They offered a boy a liberal sum to descend by a rope, and get them. He looked at the money, thought of the danger, and replied, “I will, if my father will hold the rope.” With unshrinking nerves he suffered his father to put the rope around him, lower him into that abyss, and to suspend him there while he filled his little basket with the coveted flowers.<\/p>\n (30) Her daughter laid upon the bed.<\/strong>The graphic description, as usual, is characteristic of St. Mark.<\/p>\n ‘And she went her way to her house, and found the child laid on the bed and the devil gone out.’<\/p>\n Her faith was up to His test. Believing, she left Him, and found it was even as He had said. His authority had reached over the miles. For such faith compare Mat 8:5-13<\/span>; Luk 7:1-10<\/span>; Joh 4:46-53<\/span>). That it was a genuine miracle comes out in that a demon would not leave the one it possessed of its own accord. But no wonder Jesus had then to leave the place where He was staying. The news would soon have meant great crowds of Gentiles gathered round Him and He was not ready for that yet. Everything had to move in God’s time. But from that time on He began to preach in Gentile country as Mar 8:1<\/span> demonstrates. There were of course many Jews there. But He also recognised that some Gentiles were ready to receive the bread of life as eagerly as the pet dogs received the crumbs. They too had a right to receive the bread of life.<\/p>\n There is a good case for seeing this case as a major turning point in His ministry, especially in Matthew. Up to and including this point he has stressed the mission of Jesus to Israel. After it the door gradually opened to the Gentiles, and He fed a crowd of both Jews and Gentiles as He had previously fed the crowd of Jews only, and the exclusiveness was not again mentioned, a changed situation already previously hinted at in the visit of the Magi to Jesus (Matthew 2<\/span>). Matthew ends his Gospel with Jesus sending His disciples out into the whole world, to ‘all the nations’ (Mat 28:19-20<\/span>). Mark’s ending emphasises the same message (Mar 16:15<\/span>). The Kingly Rule of God reaches out to the Gentiles.<\/p>\n 30.<\/strong> ] These particulars are added here.<\/p>\n <\/strong> . <\/strong> <\/strong> . <\/strong> <\/strong> .<\/strong> which the torments occasioned by the evil spirit would not allow her to be before: , Euthym [29]<\/p>\n [29] Euthymius Zigabenus, 1116<\/p>\n Mar 7:30<\/span> . : the emphasis lies on this word rather than on (Bengel), as expressing the condition in which the mother found her daughter: lying quietly<\/em> (“in lecto molliter cubantem sine ull jactatione,” Grotius).<\/p>\n It is probable that this interesting incident cannot be fully understood without taking into consideration circumstances not mentioned in the narratives, and which, therefore, it does not fall to the expositor to refer to.

The daughter had previously been deprived of all rest. The mother, however, did not of course find the demon itself, which had gone out; but she found that the demon had gone out, i.e. that such was the state of affairs.

And she went away to her house. This sketch of her return is peculiar to Mark. She had obeyed the command: Go thy way.Laid, or, thrown, upon the bed. Just as the demon left her, but in a quiet condition, which was the evidence that the demon had gone. The correct order favors this view. The exhaustion was natural, and a sign of complete dispossession.<\/p>\n And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed. 30. she found the devil gone out ] Thus the daughter was healed in consequence of the mother’s faith and in answer to her prayers.
