SCRIPTURE

"But straightway a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet." — Mark 7:25 (ASV)

Whose little daughter (ης το θυγατριον αυτης). Diminutive with tender touch. Note "whose" and "her" like vernacular today.

Having heard of him (ακουσασα περ αυτου). Even in this heathen territory the fame of Jesus was known. When the Sermon on the Mount was preached people were there from "the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon" (Luke 6:17).
