SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:25
Entonces ella vino, y le ador, diciendo: Seor socrreme.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 15:25
Verse 25. Lord, help me.] Let me also share in the deliverance afforded to Israel.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 25. Then came she and worshipped him , etc.] She followed the disciples into the house; and perceiving another repulse by Christs answer to them, she pushes on, through all discouragements; her faith grows stronger, and her importunity greater: she had called Christ Lord, and the son of David before, but now she worships him as God: Saying, Lord help me ; a short petition, but what fully and fitly expressed her case: the object she prays unto is the Lord, by which she owns his sovereignty, dominion, and power: the request she makes is for help, signifying that her case required it; that it was such, that she could not help herself, nor any creature help her, only he, which she firmly believed; and though it was her daughter, and not she herself, that was so miserably afflicted; yet such was her sympathy, love, and affection to her, that she makes the case her own, and calls helping her daughter, helping herself; for her daughter being relieved, she would be made easy.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 21-28 - The dark corners of the country, the most remote, shall share Christ' influences; afterwards the ends of the earth shall see his salvation The distress and trouble of her family brought a woman to Christ; an though it is need that drives us to Christ, yet we shall not therefor be driven from him. She did not limit Christ to any particular instanc of mercy, but mercy, mercy, is what she begged for: she pleads no merit, but depends upon mercy. It is the duty of parents to pray for their children, and to be earnest in prayer for them, especially for their souls. Have you a son, a daughter, grievously vexed with a prou devil, an unclean devil, a malicious devil, led captive by him at his will? this is a case more deplorable than that of bodily possession and you must bring them by faith and prayer to Christ, who alone i able to heal them. Many methods of Christ's providence, especially of his grace, in dealing with his people, which are dark and perplexing may be explained by this story, which teaches that there may be love in Christ's heart while there are frowns in his face; and it encourage us, though he seems ready to slay us, yet to trust in him. Those who Christ intends most to honour, he humbles to feel their ow unworthiness. A proud, unhumbled heart would not have borne this; but she turned it into an argument to support her request. The state of this woman is an emblem of the state of a sinner, deeply conscious of the misery of his soul. The least of Christ is precious to a believer even the very crumbs of the Bread of life. Of all graces, faith honour Christ most; therefore of all graces Christ honours faith most. He cured her daughter. He spake, and it was done. From hence let such a seek help from the Lord, and receive no gracious answer, learn to tur even their unworthiness and discouragements into pleas for mercy.
