Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 15:29
Verse 29. Went up into a mountain] to orov, THE mountain. "Meaning," says Wakefield, "some particular mountain which he was accustomed to frequent; for, whenever it is spoken of at a time when Jesus is in Galilee, it is always discriminated by the article. Compare chap. iv. 18, with chap. v. 1; and Matthew xiii. 54, with chap. xiv. 23; and chap. xxviii. 16. I suppose it was mount Tabor."
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 29. And Jesus departed from thence , etc.] From the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, where he would have been private and retired; but being discovered, and knowing that the fame of this last miracle would make him more public in those parts, he removed, and passed through the midst of the coast of Decapolis, as Mark says, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee: the same with the sea of Tiberias. ( John 6:1 21:1), that is, he came to those parts of Galilee, which lay near the sea side, and went into a mountain : which was very usual with him, either for solitude, or for prayer, and sometimes, for better conveniency, to preach to the people: and sat down there : to take some rest, being weary with his journey, and as waiting for the multitude to come to him, both for instruction and healing.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 29-39 - Whatever our case is, the only way to find ease and relief, is to la it at Christ's feet, to submit it to him, and refer it to his disposal Those who would have spiritual healing from Christ, must be ruled as he pleases. See what work sin has made; what various diseases human bodie are subject to. Here were such diseases as fancy could neither gues the cause nor the cure of, yet these were subject to the command of Christ. The spiritual cures that Christ works are wonderful. When blin souls are made to see by faith, the dumb to speak in prayer, the maime and the lame to walk in holy obedience, it is to be wondered at. Hi power was also shown to the multitude, in the plentiful provision he made for them: the manner is much the same as before. All did eat, an were filled. Those whom Christ feeds, he fills. With Christ there is bread enough, and to spare; supplies of grace for more than seek it and for those that seek for more. Christ sent away the people. Thoug he had fed them twice, they must not look for miracles to find their daily bread. Let them go home to their callings and their own tables Lord, increase our faith, and pardon our unbelief, teaching us to liv upon thy fulness and bounty, for all things pertaining to this life and that which is to come __________________________________________________________________
