Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

But she came and adored him, saying: Lord, help me.

But she came and did him homage, saying, Lord, help me.

And having come, she was bowing to him, saying, 'Sir, help me;'

Then she came and threw herself at His feet and entreated Him. "O Sir, help me," she said.

But she came and gave him worship, saying, Help, Lord.

But she approached and adored him, saying, "Lord, help me."

But the woman came, and, bowing to the ground before him, said, "Master, help me."

And she came and worshipped him. We might be apt to think that this woman contends with some measure of obstinacy, as if she would extort something from Christ in spite of him; but there is no reason to doubt that she was animated by the conviction which she entertained as to the kindness of the Messiah. When Christ expressly declared that it did not belong to his office, she was not intimidated by that refusal, and did not desist from her purpose. The reason was, that she adhered firmly to that previous sentiment of faith which I have mentioned, and admitted nothing that was opposed to her hope. And this is the sure test of faith, that we do not suffer that general commencement of our salvation, which is founded on the word of God, to be in any way torn from us.

She came and worshipped - That is, bowed down to him or did him reverence.
See the notes at Matthew 8:2.
Lord, help me! - A proper cry for a poor sinner, who needs the help of the Lord Jesus.

Lord, help me - Let me also share in the deliverance afforded to Israel.

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 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.

Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me--(Also see on Mark 7:26.)

Then came she and worshipped him. Instead of being discouraged by the words of Christ, she only became the more earnest.

Then came she - Into the house where he now was.
