THE SYROPHÅ“NICIAN WOMAN AND HER DAUGHTER--A DEAF AND DUMB MAN HEALED. ( = Mat 15:21-31). (Mar 7:24-37)
And from thence he arose, and went into the borders--or "unto the borders."
of Tyre and Sidon--the two great Phœnician seaports, but here denoting the territory generally, to the frontiers of which Jesus now came. But did Jesus actually enter this heathen territory? The whole narrative, we think, proceeds upon the supposition that He did. His immediate object seems to have been to avoid the wrath of the Pharisees at the withering exposure He had just made of their traditional religion.
and entered into an house, and would have no man know it--because He had not come there to minister to heathens. But though not "sent but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel" (Mat 15:24), He hindered not the lost sheep of the vast Gentile world from coming to Him, nor put them away when they did come--as this incident was designed to show.
but he could not be hid--Christ's fame had early spread from Galilee to this very region (Mar 3:8; Luk 6:17). |

A Greek - The Jews called all persons "Greeks" who were not of their nation. Compare Rom 1:14. The whole world was considered as divided into Jews and Greeks. Though she might not have been strictly a "Greek," yet she came under this general appellation as a foreigner. |

17 And [2532] he came down [2597] with [3326] them [846], and stood [2476] in [1909] the plain [3977] [5117], and [2532] the company [3793] of his [846] disciples [3101], and [2532] a great [4183] multitude [4128] of people [2992] out of [575] all [3956] Judaea [2449] and [2532] Jerusalem [2419], and [2532] from the sea coast [3882] of Tyre [5184] and [2532] Sidon [4605], which [3739] came [2064] to hear [191] him [846], and [2532] to be healed [2390] of [575] their [846] diseases [3554];
8 And [2532] from [575] Jerusalem [2414], and [2532] from [575] Idumaea [2401], and [2532] from beyond [4008] Jordan [2446]; and [2532] they about [4012] Tyre [5184] and [2532] Sidon [4605], a great [4183] multitude [4128], when they had heard [191] what great things [3745] he did [4160], came [2064] unto [4314] him [846].
24 But [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036], I am [649] not [3756] sent [649] but [1508] unto [1519] the lost [622] sheep [4263] of the house [3624] of Israel [2474].
24 And [2532] from thence [1564] he arose [450], and went [565] into [1519] the borders [3181] of Tyre [5184] and [2532] Sidon [4605], and [2532] entered [1525] into [1519] an house [3614], and would have [2309] no man [3762] know [1097] it: but [2532] he could [1410] not [3756] be hid [2990].
25 For [1063] a certain woman [1135], whose [3739] [846] young daughter [2365] had [2192] an unclean [169] spirit [4151], heard [191] of [4012] him [846], and came [2064] and fell [4363] at [4314] his [846] feet [4228]:
26 [1161] The woman [1135] was [2258] a Greek [1674], a Syrophenician [4949] by nation [1085]; and [2532] she besought [2065] him [846] that [2443] he would cast forth [1544] the devil [1140] out of [1537] her [846] daughter [2364].
27 But [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto her [846], Let [863] the children [5043] first [4412] be filled [5526]: for [1063] it is [2076] not [3756] meet [2570] to take [2983] the children's [5043] bread [740], and [2532] to cast [906] it unto the dogs [2952].
28 And [1161] she answered [611] and [2532] said [3004] unto him [846], Yes [3483], Lord [2962]: yet [2532] [1063] the dogs [2952] under [5270] the table [5132] eat [2068] of [575] the children's [3813] crumbs [5589].
29 And [2532] he said [2036] unto her [846], For [1223] this [5126] saying [3056] go thy way [5217]; the devil [1140] is gone [1831] out of [1537] thy [4675] daughter [2364].
30 And [2532] when she was come [565] to [1519] her [846] house [3624], she found [2147] the devil [1140] gone out [1831], and [2532] her daughter [2364] laid [906] upon [1909] the bed [2825].
31 And [2532] again [3825], departing [1831] from [1537] the coasts [3725] of Tyre [5184] and [2532] Sidon [4605], he came [2064] unto [4314] the sea [2281] of Galilee [1056], through [303] the midst [3319] of the coasts [3725] of Decapolis [1179].
32 And [2532] they bring [5342] unto him [846] one that was deaf [2974], and had an impediment in his speech [3424]; and [2532] they beseech [3870] him [846] to [2443] put [2007] his hand [5495] upon him [846].
33 And [2532] he took [618] him [846] aside [2596] [2398] from [575] the multitude [3793], and put [906] his [846] fingers [1147] into [1519] his [846] ears [3775], and [2532] he spit [4429], and touched [680] his [846] tongue [1100];
34 And [2532] looking up [308] to [1519] heaven [3772], he sighed [4727], and [2532] saith [3004] unto him [846], Ephphatha [2188], that is [3603], Be opened [1272].
35 And [2532] straightway [2112] his [846] ears [189] were opened [1272], and [2532] the string [1199] of his [846] tongue [1100] was loosed [3089], and [2532] he spake [2980] plain [3723].
36 And [2532] he charged [1291] them [846] that [2443] they should tell [2036] no man [3367]: but [1161] the more [3745] he [846] charged [1291] them [846], so much the more [3123] a great deal [4054] they published [2784] it;
37 And [2532] were beyond measure [5249] astonished [1605], saying [3004], He hath done [4160] all things [3956] well [2573]: he maketh [4160] both [2532] the deaf [2974] to hear [191], and [2532] the dumb [216] to speak [2980].
21 Then [2532] Jesus [2424] went [1831] thence [1564], and departed [402] into [1519] the coasts [3313] of Tyre [5184] and [2532] Sidon [4605].
22 And [2532], behold [2400], a woman [1135] of Canaan [5478] came [1831] out of [575] the same [1565] coasts [3725], and cried [2905] unto him [846], saying [3004], Have mercy [1653] on me [3165], O Lord [2962], thou Son [5207] of David [1138]; my [3450] daughter [2364] is grievously [2560] vexed with a devil [1139].
23 But [1161] he answered [611] her [846] not [3756] a word [3056]. And [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] came [4334] and besought [2065] him [846], saying [3004], Send [630] her [846] away [630]; for [3754] she crieth [2896] after [3693] us [2257].
24 But [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036], I am [649] not [3756] sent [649] but [1508] unto [1519] the lost [622] sheep [4263] of the house [3624] of Israel [2474].
25 Then [1161] came she [2064] and worshipped [4352] him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], help [997] me [3427].
26 But [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036], It is [2076] not [3756] meet [2570] to take [2983] the children's [5043] bread [740], and [2532] to cast [906] it to dogs [2952].
27 And [1161] she said [2036], Truth [3483], Lord [2962]: yet [2532] [1063] the dogs [2952] eat [2068] of [575] the crumbs [5589] which [3588] fall [4098] from [575] their [846] masters [2962]' table [5132].
28 Then [5119] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and said [2036] unto her [846], O [5599] woman [1135], great [3173] is thy [4675] faith [4102]: be it [1096] unto thee [4671] even as [5613] thou wilt [2309]. And [2532] her [846] daughter [2364] was made whole [2390] from [575] that very [1565] hour [5610].
29 And [2532] Jesus [2424] departed [3327] from thence [1564], and came [2064] nigh unto [3844] the sea [2281] of Galilee [1056]; and [2532] went up [305] into [1519] a mountain [3735], and sat down [2521] there [1563].
30 And [2532] great [4183] multitudes [3793] came [4334] unto him [846], having [2192] with [3326] them those that were [1438] lame [5560], blind [5185], dumb [2974], maimed [2948], and [2532] many [4183] others [2087], and [2532] cast [4496] them [846] down [4496] at [3844] Jesus [2424]' feet [4228]; and [2532] he healed [2323] them [846]:
31 Insomuch that [5620] the multitude [3793] wondered [2296], when they saw [991] the dumb [2974] to speak [2980], the maimed [2948] to be whole [5199], the lame [5560] to walk [4043], and [2532] the blind [5185] to see [991]: and [2532] they glorified [1392] the God [2316] of Israel [2474].
14 I am [1510] debtor [3781] both [5037] to the Greeks [1672], and [2532] to the Barbarians [915]; both [5037] to the wise [4680], and [2532] to the unwise [453].
26 [1161] The woman [1135] was [2258] a Greek [1674], a Syrophenician [4949] by nation [1085]; and [2532] she besought [2065] him [846] that [2443] he would cast forth [1544] the devil [1140] out of [1537] her [846] daughter [2364].
24 And [2532] from thence [1564] he arose [450], and went [565] into [1519] the borders [3181] of Tyre [5184] and [2532] Sidon [4605], and [2532] entered [1525] into [1519] an house [3614], and would have [2309] no man [3762] know [1097] it: but [2532] he could [1410] not [3756] be hid [2990].
21 Then [2532] Jesus [2424] went [1831] thence [1564], and departed [402] into [1519] the coasts [3313] of Tyre [5184] and [2532] Sidon [4605].
22 And [2532], behold [2400], a woman [1135] of Canaan [5478] came [1831] out of [575] the same [1565] coasts [3725], and cried [2905] unto him [846], saying [3004], Have mercy [1653] on me [3165], O Lord [2962], thou Son [5207] of David [1138]; my [3450] daughter [2364] is grievously [2560] vexed with a devil [1139].
23 But [1161] he answered [611] her [846] not [3756] a word [3056]. And [2532] his [846] disciples [3101] came [4334] and besought [2065] him [846], saying [3004], Send [630] her [846] away [630]; for [3754] she crieth [2896] after [3693] us [2257].
24 But [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036], I am [649] not [3756] sent [649] but [1508] unto [1519] the lost [622] sheep [4263] of the house [3624] of Israel [2474].
25 Then [1161] came she [2064] and worshipped [4352] him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], help [997] me [3427].
26 But [1161] he answered [611] and said [2036], It is [2076] not [3756] meet [2570] to take [2983] the children's [5043] bread [740], and [2532] to cast [906] it to dogs [2952].
27 And [1161] she said [2036], Truth [3483], Lord [2962]: yet [2532] [1063] the dogs [2952] eat [2068] of [575] the crumbs [5589] which [3588] fall [4098] from [575] their [846] masters [2962]' table [5132].
28 Then [5119] Jesus [2424] answered [611] and said [2036] unto her [846], O [5599] woman [1135], great [3173] is thy [4675] faith [4102]: be it [1096] unto thee [4671] even as [5613] thou wilt [2309]. And [2532] her [846] daughter [2364] was made whole [2390] from [575] that very [1565] hour [5610].
31 And [2532] he said [2036] unto them [846], Come [1205] ye [5210] yourselves [846] apart [2596] [2398] into [1519] a desert [2048] place [5117], and [2532] rest [373] a while [3641]: for [1063] there were [2258] many [4183] coming [2064] and [2532] going [5217], and [2532] they had no [3761] leisure [2119] so much as [3761] to eat [5315].
21 Then [2532] Jesus [2424] went [1831] thence [1564], and departed [402] into [1519] the coasts [3313] of Tyre [5184] and [2532] Sidon [4605].
