Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

A certain woman - See this account of the Syrophoenician woman explained at large, Matthew 15:21-28 (note).

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.

For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit--or, as in Matthew (Matthew 15:22), "was badly demonized."
heard of him--One wonders how; but distress is quick of hearing.
