"For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:"
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
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.
