Matthew 15:29 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 15:29

And Jesus departed from thence
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 15:29 In-Context

27 So she said, "Yes, Lord, for even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master's table."

28 Then Jesus answered [and] said to her, "O woman, your faith [is] great! Let it be done for you as you want." And her daughter was healed from that hour.

29 And departing from there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee, and he went up on the mountain [and] was sitting there.

30 And large crowds came to him, having with them [the] mute, blind, lame, crippled, and many others, and they put them down at his feet, and he healed them.

31 So then the crowd was astonished [when they] saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing, and they praised the God of Israel.
