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)

For a certain woman
One way and means by which he came to be more openly discovered who he was, was this; a woman in those parts,

whose young daughter had an unclean spirit ;
a devil, with which she was possessed; hearing of some miracles he had wrought in healing the sick, and casting out devils;

heard of him, and came ;
and understanding that he was in such a place made all haste to him;

and fell at his feet ;
and with great respect and reverence to so venerable a person, threw herself at his feet, and earnestly entreated mercy for her child; believing he had power to cast the devil out of her, though at a distance from her.
