John Gill
Then came she and worshipped him,.... She followed the disciples into the house; and perceiving another repulse by Christ's 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...
Matthew Henry
In this chapter, we have our Lord Jesus, as the great Prophet teaching, as the great Physician healing, and as the great Shepherd of the sheep feeding; as the Father of spirits instructing them; as the Conqueror of Satan dispossessing him; and as concerned for the bodies of his people, providing for them.

She was doing quite right, for he is none other than very God of very...

Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. She takes a humbler attitude than she had at first assumed.

There is often more proof of earnestness in a short prayer than...

Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord help me. A very short prayer; but how much there was in it!
