And Jesus departed from there, and came near unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.
All Commentaries on Matthew 15:29 Go To Matthew 15
John Chrysostom
AD 407

They are being brought to his feet! Therein they are showing their faith doubly, first by struggling up the mountain even though lame, then by wanting nothing else but only to be cast at his feet. The Gospel of Matthew, Homily
