MATTHEW 15:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.”
And Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon. The withdrawal to the Gentile territory of Tyre and Sidon — north of Galilee on the Phoenician coast — is the geographical frame for the Canaanite woman encounter. The same cities that Matthew 11:21 used as the example of pagans who would have repented if they had seen Jesus' miracles are now the setting for a Gentile who demonstrates extraordinary faith.
