Mark 7:30

she found the devil gone out Thus the daughter was healed in consequence of the mother's faith and in answer to her prayers. This is an instance of a cure effected at a distance:other instances are, (1) the nobleman's son at Capernaum, whom our Lord healed while Himself at Cana (John 4:46), (2) the centurion's servant (Luke 7:6). The case also of this lonely woman not suffering the Lord "to go" until He had blessed her (comp. Genesis 32:24-32) is the greatest of the three ascending degrees of faith, "as it manifests itself in the breaking through of hindrances which would keep from Christ. The paralytic broke through the outward hindrances, the obstacles of things merely external(Mark 2:4); blind Bartimæus through the hindrances opposed by his fellow-men(Mark 10:48); but this woman, more heroically than all, through apparent hindrances, even from Christ Himself." Trench on the Miracles, p. 347.
