Charles Spurgeon Commentary Mark 7:24-29

"And from thence he arose, and went away into the borders of Tyre and Sidon. And he entered into a house, and would have no man know it; and he could not be hid. But straightway a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having heard of him, came and fell down at his feet. Now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race. And she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter. And he said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children`s bread and cast it to the dogs. But she answered and saith unto him, Yea, Lord; even the dogs under the table eat of the children`s crumbs. And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the demon is gone out of thy daughter." — Mark 7:24-29 (ASV)

Christ capitulated at once, yielded to the strong arms of conquering prayer and faith, and so the pleading woman had her will.
