Context — The Faith of the Gentile Woman

22greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness. 23All these evils come from within, and these are what defile a man.”

24Jesus left that place and went to the region of Tyre. Not wanting anyone to know He was there, He entered a house, but was unable to escape their notice.

25Instead, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit soon heard about Jesus, and she came and fell at His feet. 26Now she was a Greek woman of Syrophoenician origin, and she kept asking Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter.

But Jesus replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.” “Yes, Lord,” she said, “even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.” “O woman,” Jesus answered, “your faith is great!

Mark 7:24 Summary

In Mark 7:24, Jesus traveled to the region of Tyre, trying to keep a low profile, but the people soon found out He was there. This shows that Jesus, like us, needed times of rest and solitude, as seen in Mark 6:30-32. However, Jesus was always open to serving and ministering to others, even when it was unexpected, as seen in the story of the Syrophoenician woman in Mark 7:25-26 (and also in Matthew 15:21-28). By following Jesus' example, we can learn to balance our need for rest with our responsibility to serve and love others, just as Jesus did.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Jesus try to keep a low profile in the region of Tyre?

Jesus was likely trying to avoid the crowds and controversy that often followed Him, as seen in Mark 7:24, and as He had previously done in Matthew 12:15 and Mark 6:31-32.

What can we learn about Jesus' humanity from this verse?

This verse shows that Jesus, although divine, was also human and needed times of rest and solitude, as mentioned in Mark 6:30-32 and Matthew 14:13, where He withdrew from the crowds to a quiet place.

How did the people in the region of Tyre find out about Jesus despite His efforts to remain unnoticed?

The Bible doesn't explicitly state how the people found out, but it's likely that news of Jesus' presence spread quickly through word of mouth, as seen in Mark 1:45 and Luke 5:15, where Jesus' fame and popularity often preceded Him.

What is the significance of Jesus going to the region of Tyre?

Jesus' journey to the region of Tyre, a predominantly Gentile area, as mentioned in Mark 7:24, may have been a deliberate act to expand His ministry beyond the Jewish community, foreshadowing the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20 to spread the Gospel to all nations.

Reflection Questions

What are some times in my life when I have tried to 'escape notice' or keep a low profile, and what were the results?
How can I balance my need for solitude and rest with my responsibility to serve and minister to others, as Jesus did?
What can I learn from Jesus' example about being intentional and purposeful in my actions and decisions?
In what ways can I, like Jesus, be open to divine interruptions and unexpected opportunities to serve and minister to others?

Verse 24. Into the borders of Tyre end Sidon] Or, into the country between Tyre and Sidon. I have adopted this translation from KYPKE, who proves that this is the meaning of the word μεθορια, in the best Greek writers.

24–30. The Syrophœnician Woman 24. from thence he arose] The malevolence of our Lord’s enemies was now assuming hourly a more implacable form. The Pharisaic party in Eastern Galilee were deeply offended (Matthew 15:12); even those who once would fain have prevented Him from leaving them (Luke 4:42) were filled with doubts and suspicions; Herod Antipas was inquiring concerning Him (Luke 9:9), and his inquiries boded nothing but ill. He therefore now leaves for awhile eastern Galilee and makes His way north-west through the mountains of upper Galilee into the border-land of Phœnicia. See the Analysis of the Gospel, p. 22. the borders of Tyre and Sidon] His travelling towards these regions was the prophetic and symbolical representation of the future progress of Christianity from the Jews to the Gentiles. So in ancient times Elijah travelled out of his own land into Phœnicia (1 Kings 17:10-24). Our Lord, however, does not actually go into Phœnicia, but into the adjoining borders of Galilee, the district of the tribe of Asher. Tyre] A celebrated commercial city of antiquity, situated in Phœnicia. The Hebrew name “Tzôr” signifies “a rock,” and well agrees with the site of Sû, the modern town on a rocky peninsula, which was formerly an island, and less than 20 miles distant from Sidon. We first get glimpses of its condition in 2 Samuel 5:11 in connection with Hiram, King of Tyre, who sent cedar-wood and workmen to David and afterwards to Solomon (1 Kings 9:11-14; 1 Kings 10:22). Ahab married a daughter of Ithobal, King of Tyre (1 Kings 16:31), and was instrumental in introducing the idolatrous worship of Baalim and Ashtaroth.
