Greek Commentary for Mark 7:28
A delightful picture. Even the little dogs Little dogs, little scraps of bread Probably the little children purposely dropped a few little crumbs for the little dogs. These household dogs, pets of and loved by the children. Braid Scots has it: “Yet the wee dowgs aneath the table eat o‘ the moole o‘ the bairns.” “A unique combination of faith and wit” (Gould). Instead of resenting Christ‘s words about giving the children‘s bread to the dogs (Gentiles) in Mark 7:27, she instantly turned it to the advantage of her plea for her little daughter. [source]
See on Matthew 15:26. This would indicate that the little dogs were pet dogs of the children, their masters. [source]

The children are the masters of the little dogs. Compare Mark 7:28, “the children's crumbs.” [source]
From the things that fell from time to time. The language reminds one of Luke 15:16 (the prodigal son) and the Syro-Phoenician woman (Mark 7:28). Only it does not follow that this beggar did not get the scraps from the rich man‘s table. Probably he did, though nothing more. Even the wild street dogs would get them also. [source]

Our word bank is from Old English bench.With interest (συν τοκωι sun tokōi). Not usury, but proper and legal interest. Old word from τικτω tiktō to bring forth. In the N.T. only here and Matthew 25:27.Should have required it Conclusion of second-class condition the condition or apodosis being implied in the participle “coming” (ελτων elthōn), and the previous question. On this technical use of πρασσω prassō (επραχα epraxa) See note on Luke 3:13. [source]
