Jesus left that place
This phrase indicates a transition in Jesus' ministry. Previously, He was in Galilee, engaging with the Pharisees and teaching the crowds. His departure signifies a shift in focus, possibly seeking rest or a change in audience. This movement is consistent with His itinerant ministry, where He traveled to various regions to preach and perform miracles.

and went to the region of Tyre.
Tyre was a significant Phoenician city located northwest of Galilee, known for its wealth and trade. It was predominantly Gentile, highlighting Jesus' outreach beyond Jewish territories. This journey to a Gentile region foreshadows the later mission to the Gentiles, as seen in Acts. The inclusion of Tyre emphasizes the universal scope of Jesus' ministry, breaking traditional Jewish boundaries.

Not wanting anyone to know He was there,
This suggests Jesus sought privacy, possibly for rest or to teach His disciples without interruption. It reflects His humanity, needing solitude amidst His demanding ministry. This desire for secrecy is seen elsewhere, such as in Mark 1:45, where Jesus often instructed those He healed to remain silent about His identity, emphasizing His control over His public revelation.

He entered a house,
Entering a house indicates a private setting, contrasting with His public ministry. Houses in this context were often small and intimate, allowing for personal interaction. This setting is significant for the following narrative, where Jesus engages with the Syrophoenician woman, demonstrating His willingness to interact personally and compassionately with individuals.

but was unable to escape their notice.
Despite His efforts for privacy, Jesus' presence could not be hidden. This highlights His growing fame and the desperation of people seeking His help. It underscores the magnetic nature of His ministry and the deep needs of those around Him. This inability to remain unnoticed is a recurring theme, as seen in Mark 3:7-8, where crowds from various regions sought Him out, illustrating the widespread impact of His work.

Persons / Places / Events
1. Jesus
The central figure of the New Testament, the Son of God, who is traveling and teaching.

2. Tyre
A region outside of Jewish territory, known for its Gentile population and historical significance as a major Phoenician city.

3. The House
A specific location where Jesus sought privacy, indicating His need for rest and retreat from the crowds.
Teaching Points
Jesus' Intentional Retreat
Jesus sought solitude, demonstrating the importance of rest and reflection in ministry. Even the Son of God took time to withdraw, setting an example for us to find balance in our lives.

Crossing Cultural Boundaries
By entering Tyre, Jesus showed that His mission extended beyond the Jewish people. This challenges us to reach out to those who are different from us and to embrace diversity in our ministry efforts.

The Inescapable Presence of Jesus
Despite His desire for privacy, Jesus could not escape notice. This illustrates the magnetic nature of His presence and the deep spiritual hunger of people. We should strive to live in such a way that our faith is evident and draws others to Christ.

The Role of Gentiles in God's Plan
Jesus' presence in a Gentile region foreshadows the inclusion of all nations in the gospel message. We are reminded of the Great Commission and our role in spreading the gospel to all corners of the earth.(24-30) And from thence he arose.--See Notes on Matthew 15:21-28.

Tyre and Sidon.--The better MSS. omit the latter name here, and reserve it for Mark 7:31, where see Note.

Entered into an house.--The fact is peculiar to St. Mark, and seems specified as an indication of our Lord's wish to avoid publicity.

Verse 24. - Our Lord now passes out of Galilee into a heathen country, Syro-phoenicia, into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, that he might begin to impart his miracles and his doctrine, which the scribes and Pharisees had rejected, to the Gentiles. There is not sufficient authority for omitting "Sidon" from the text. Both these cities were renowned for their extensive commerce and for their wealth. It is probable that the true reading in Ver. 31, which will be noticed presently, may have led to the omission by some authorities of "Sidon" here. But there is really no inconsistency in retaining the words "and Sidon" here; and accepting the reading" through Sidon" there. Tyro, which was the capital of Phoenicia, lay to the south, bordering on Judaea; Sidon to the north: and multitudes flocked to Christ from these parts. He entered into a house, and would have no man know it: and he could not be hid. He would have no man know it, partly for the sake of quiet, and partly lest he should rouse the Jews more bitterly against him, and give them occasion to cavil that he was not the Messiah promised to the Jews, because, having left them, he had turned to the Gentiles. St. Mark (Mark 3:8) has already informed us that his fame had spread to those about Tyro and Sidon.
