Mateo 15:21

21 Y saliendo Jesús de allí, se fue a las partes de Tiro y de Sidón

Mateo 15:21 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 15:21

Then Jesus went thence
From the land of Gennesaret, after he had silenced the Pharisees, as to the charge brought by them against his disciples; and when he had reproved them for their hypocrisy and wickedness, in making void the commands of God by their traditions; and had explained some difficult and parabolical sayings he had made use of to his disciples, he then left that country, and departed very privately: either to shun the multitude, for the sake of retirement; or to avoid any snares the Scribes and Pharisees might be laying for him, who must be greatly galled with his free discourse, and strong arguments:

and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon;
two principal cities of Phoenicia: not that he went into these places themselves, but into some places that bordered upon them; for as he ordered his disciples not to go in the way of the Gentiles, so neither did he himself.

Mateo 15:21 In-Context

19 Porque del corazón salen los malos pensamientos: muertes, adulterios, fornicaciones, hurtos, falsos testimonios, maledicencias

20 Estas cosas son las que contaminan al hombre; pero el comer con las manos sin lavar no contamina al hombre

21 Y saliendo Jesús de allí, se fue a las partes de Tiro y de Sidón

22 Y he aquí una mujer cananea, que había salido de aquellos términos, clamaba, diciéndole: Señor, Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí; mi hija está enferma, poseida del demonio

23 Mas él no le respondió palabra. Entonces acercándose sus discípulos, le rogaron, diciendo: Despáchala, pues da voces tras nosotros
