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 Pues del corazón salen los malos pensamientos, el asesinato, el adulterio, toda inmoralidad sexual, el robo, la mentira y la calumnia.

20 Esas cosas son las que los contaminan. Comer sin lavarse las manos nunca los contaminará.

21 La fe de una mujer gentil
Luego Jesús salió de Galilea y se dirigió al norte, a la región de Tiro y Sidón.

22 Una mujer de los gentiles,
que vivía allí, se le acercó y le rogó: «¡Ten misericordia de mí, oh Señor, Hijo de David! Pues mi hija está poseída por un demonio que la atormenta terriblemente».

23 Pero Jesús no le contestó ni una palabra. Entonces sus discípulos le pidieron que la despidiera. «Dile que se vaya —dijeron—. Nos está molestando con sus súplicas».
