Matthew 15:25

Worshipped. Literally, “prostrated herself’ (see on eh. 8:2). This typical Oriental posture of supplication might be taken before objects of worship, or even before men, especially before superiors whose favor was sought (see on Esther 3:2). This woman’s use of the Messianic title “son of David” (see on Matt. 1:1; 15:22) implies that she had at least a vague realization of who Jesus really was. Whether she used the term simply because her Jewish neighbors had used it in discussing the wonderful deeds of Christ, or whether it expressed a measure of belief on her part that Jesus was the Messiah, is not clear.
