Study note
Setting — Jesus speaks to the woman who just replied about eating crumbs, immediately after her confession and before she returns home in the next verse.
The words — The imperative ὕπαγε (hupage) literally means “do go” or “leave,” directly tied to διὰ τοῦτον τὸν λόγον (“because of this word/answer”).
The thread — The command to depart mirrors the chain of authority in Matthew 8:9, while the woman’s receptive posture reflects the humble one God esteems in Isaiah 66:2 and the kingdom promise in Matthew 5:3.
Why it lands — It demands that readers treat Christ’s spoken word as the sole basis for deliverance and respond with immediate, unarguing obedience.
