v,24..Why do you think Jesus sought some privacy ? Should we seek privacy on occasion, apart from the need for prayer ?-Mark,ch6,v.31.

Was Jesus testing the woman’s persistence and faith, or trying to deter her from asking for a miracle?
v.28…Was her reply a sign of real faith and humour?
Does God always give an immediate “Yes” to our requests, or does He wish us to examine ourselves to see how genuine and earnest our prayer is ?
Does the miracle of the healing of the Gentile’s daughter have a symbolic meaning … showing how Gentiles will seize the blessings God has, while the Jews often carelessly throw them aside ?
v.33.. Why did Jesus take the man aside to give him this double healing ?
v.34… Why did He look up ? Jesus commanded the healing to take place . Did the disciples follow this example or point to Jesus as the Healer ?- Acts,ch.3,v.6; ch.9,v.34; ch.16, v.18.
The Aramaic word of command which Jesus spoke shows that Peter was present and repeated this when he recounted his gospel to Mark, while in Rome.
Why did Jesus sigh, or rather “groan “. Was it because of weariness or anger with the enemy for the effects of sin in human life ?
v36… Why did Jesus ask for no publicity ? Was this to spare the man’s feelings, or to avoid undue excitement ?
