What Does Mark 7:29 Mean?
For this saying — Jesus crowns the reply itself; the parallel account records his delight at the greatness of her faith (Matthew 15:28). The deliverance is pronounced at a distance: he never enters her house and never sees the child. His word goes home ahead of her.
His word needs no nearness to do its work — a comfort for everyone who prays for someone far away or beyond reach. And mark what prevailed with him: not lineage, status, or ritual standing, but humble, persistent, quick-witted trust. That is the currency of the kingdom, and it is open to anyone.
