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, los homicidios, los adulterios, la inmoralidad sexual, los robos, los falsos testimonios y las calumnias.

20 Estas son las cosas que contaminan a la persona, y no el comer sin lavarse las manos.

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

22 Una mujer cananea de las inmediaciones salió a su encuentro, gritando:—¡Señor, Hijo de David, ten compasión de mí! Mi hija sufre terriblemente por estar endemoniada.

23 Jesús no le respondió palabra. Así que sus discípulos se acercaron a él y le rogaron:—Despídela, porque viene detrás de nosotros gritando.
