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 provienen malos pensamientos, homicidios, adulterios, fornicaciones, robos, falsos testimonios y calumnias.

20 Estas cosas son las que contaminan al hombre; pero comer sin lavarse las manos no contamina al hombre.

21 Saliendo Jesús de allí, se retiró a la región de Tiro y de Sidón.

22 Y he aquí, una mujer cananea que había salido de aquella comarca, comenzó a gritar, diciendo: Señor, Hijo de David, ten misericordia de mí; mi hija está terriblemente endemoniada.

23 Pero El no le respondió palabra. Y acercándose sus discípulos, le rogaban, diciendo: Atiéndela, pues viene gritando tras nosotros.
