Mattheüs 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.

Mattheüs 15:21 In-Context

19 Want uit het hart komen voort boze bedenkingen, doodslagen, overspelen, hoererijen, dieverijen, valse getuigenissen, lasteringen.

20 Deze dingen zijn het, die den mens ontreinigen; maar het eten met ongewassen handen ontreinigt den mens niet.

21 En Jezus van daar gaande, vertrok naar de delen van Tyrus en Sidon.

22 En ziet, een Kananese vrouw, uit die landpalen komende, riep tot Hem, zeggende: Heere! Gij Zone Davids, ontferm U mijner! mijn dochter is deerlijk van den duivel bezeten.

23 Doch Hij antwoordde haar niet een woord. En Zijn discipelen, tot Hem komende, baden Hem, zeggende: Laat haar van U; want zij roept ons na.
