Leaving that place
This phrase indicates a transition in Jesus' ministry. The Greek word for "leaving" is "ἐξελθών" (exelthōn), which implies a deliberate departure. Jesus often moved from one location to another to fulfill His mission, avoiding confrontation with the Pharisees and seeking solitude for prayer and teaching. This movement reflects His strategic approach to ministry, ensuring that His message reached diverse audiences.

Jesus withdrew
The Greek word "ἀνεχώρησεν" (anechōrēsen) suggests a purposeful retreat. Jesus often withdrew to avoid escalating tensions with religious leaders or to find rest and solitude. This withdrawal is not an act of fear but a strategic decision to continue His work without unnecessary conflict. It also highlights His humanity, needing time away from the crowds to recharge and commune with the Father.

to the district of Tyre and Sidon
Tyre and Sidon were ancient Phoenician cities located in what is now modern-day Lebanon. These cities were known for their wealth and commerce, often associated with pagan practices. By entering this Gentile region, Jesus demonstrates the universality of His mission. The Greek term "μέρη" (merē) for "district" indicates a broader area, suggesting that Jesus was not confined to Jewish territories. This movement foreshadows the Great Commission, where the Gospel would be preached to all nations, breaking ethnic and cultural barriers. Historically, Tyre and Sidon had complex relationships with Israel, often seen as adversaries, yet Jesus' presence there signifies the breaking down of enmity and the extension of grace beyond Israel.

(21) Into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.--St. Mark (Mark 7:31) says (in the best MSS.) our Lord passed, after the miracle, "through Sidon," and so we have the one recorded exception to that self-imposed law of His ministry which kept Him within the limits of the land of Israel. To the disciples it might seem that He was simply withdrawing from conflict with the excited hostility of His Pharisee opponents. We may see a relation between the two acts not unlike that which afterwards connected the vision of Peter at Joppa with his entry into the house of Cornelius at Caesarea. He was showing in act, as before in word (Matthew 11:21), that He regarded Tyre and Sidon as standing on the same level as Chorazin and Bethsaida. The dust of the heathen cities was not more defiling than that of Capernaum. The journey from Capernaum to Tyre was one which might be made in one long day of active walking.

Verses 21-28. - Healing of the daughter of the Canaanitish woman. (Mark 7:24-30.) Verse 21. - Went thence. Jesus left the place, probably Capernaum, where the above discourse had been held, and where it was no longer safe for him to remain. He had grievously offended the dominant party by his outspoken words concerning purity and defilement; therefore, to escape any premature violence, he departed to a more secure quarter. Into the coasts (ta\ me/rh, "the parts") of Tyre and Sidon. The word "coasts" here, ver. 22, and elsewhere, does not mean "seacoasts," but "borders." The Authorized Version conveys a wrong impression by its use of the word. These two cities lay on the coast of Galilee, and had never been really conquered by the Israelites, though allotted to the tribe of Asher. There was no very exact limitation of territory between Phoenician (of which they were the capitals) and Jewish land, but there was a great moral distinction. The Phoenicians were sunk in the grossest idolatry; the worship of Baal and Ashtaroth reigned among them with all its depravity and pollution. 142.htm">Parts Region Sidon Territories Thence Tyre Vicinity Withdrew
