Mark 7:30 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed. Laid upon the bed - The demon having tormented her, so that her bodily strength was exhausted, and she was now laid upon the couch to take a little rest. The Ethiopic has a remarkable reading here, which gives a very different, and, I think, a better sense. And she found her daughter Clothed, Sitting upon the couch, and the demon gone out.
