TYRE: (Matt. 15:21-28).

Tyre is in the Gentile realm of Phoenicia. It is a famous port on the Mediterranean Sea Jesus visited there. (Mk 7:31) Usually the name appears with its sister city Sidon just 25 miles to the north. Jesus met a Syro-Phoenician woman there who begged crumbs from his table as a dog (gentile). Jesus compared Chorazin and Bethsida to Tyre and Sidon.
