SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:21
¶ Y saliendo Jess de allí, se fue a las partes de Tiro y de Sidn.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 15:21
Verse 21. Departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.] eiv ta merh, towards the coasts or confines. It is not clear that our Lord ever left the land of the Hebrews; he was, as the apostle observes, Rom. xv. 8, the minister of the circumcision according to the truth of God. Tyre and Sidon are usually joined together, principally because they are but a few miles distant from each other.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 21. Then Jesus went thence , etc.] 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 21-28 - The dark corners of the country, the most remote, shall share Christ' influences; afterwards the ends of the earth shall see his salvation The distress and trouble of her family brought a woman to Christ; an though it is need that drives us to Christ, yet we shall not therefor be driven from him. She did not limit Christ to any particular instanc of mercy, but mercy, mercy, is what she begged for: she pleads no merit, but depends upon mercy. It is the duty of parents to pray for their children, and to be earnest in prayer for them, especially for their souls. Have you a son, a daughter, grievously vexed with a prou devil, an unclean devil, a malicious devil, led captive by him at his will? this is a case more deplorable than that of bodily possession and you must bring them by faith and prayer to Christ, who alone i able to heal them. Many methods of Christ's providence, especially of his grace, in dealing with his people, which are dark and perplexing may be explained by this story, which teaches that there may be love in Christ's heart while there are frowns in his face; and it encourage us, though he seems ready to slay us, yet to trust in him. Those who Christ intends most to honour, he humbles to feel their ow unworthiness. A proud, unhumbled heart would not have borne this; but she turned it into an argument to support her request. The state of this woman is an emblem of the state of a sinner, deeply conscious of the misery of his soul. The least of Christ is precious to a believer even the very crumbs of the Bread of life. Of all graces, faith honour Christ most; therefore of all graces Christ honours faith most. He cured her daughter. He spake, and it was done. From hence let such a seek help from the Lord, and receive no gracious answer, learn to tur even their unworthiness and discouragements into pleas for mercy.
