Previously, Jesus had been in the region of Tyre and Sidon, where He healed the daughter of a Canaanite woman. This movement signifies His return to predominantly Jewish areas, emphasizing His mission to the "lost sheep of Israel" (<a href="/matthew/15-24.htm">Matthew 15:24</a>). It also highlights the itinerant nature of Jesus' ministry, as He traveled extensively to preach and perform miracles.Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee The Sea of Galilee, also known as Lake Gennesaret or the Sea of Tiberias, is a freshwater lake in the northeastern part of Israel. It was a central location for much of Jesus' ministry, providing a backdrop for many of His teachings and miracles. The sea's proximity to various towns and villages made it an ideal location for reaching large crowds. This area was familiar to Jesus and His disciples, many of whom were fishermen from the region (<a href="/matthew/4-18.htm">Matthew 4:18-22</a>).Then He went up on a mountain Mountains in biblical narratives often serve as places of revelation and divine encounter. In the Old Testament, Moses received the Law on Mount Sinai, and Elijah encountered God on Mount Horeb. Similarly, Jesus frequently used mountains as settings for significant teachings and events, such as the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) and the Transfiguration (<a href="/matthew/17.htm">Matthew 17:1-9</a>). This ascent suggests a setting apart from the crowds, preparing for a moment of teaching or miraculous activity.and sat down In Jewish culture, sitting was the traditional posture for a teacher or rabbi when instructing others. This act indicates that Jesus was preparing to teach or engage with those who would come to Him. It also reflects His authority as a teacher, as He assumes a position that invites others to gather around Him for instruction or healing. This posture is consistent with other instances in the Gospels where Jesus sits to teach, such as in the synagogue or when addressing His disciples.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus.htm">Jesus</a> The central figure of the New Testament, the Son of God, who performs miracles and teaches with authority. 2. <a href="/topical/s/sea_of_galilee.htm">Sea of Galilee</a> A significant body of water in the region of Galilee, known for its role in Jesus' ministry, including miracles and teachings. 3. <a href="/topical/m/mountain.htm">Mountain</a> A place often associated with significant events in Jesus' ministry, symbolizing a place of teaching, revelation, and prayer.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/j/jesus'_intentional_movement.htm">Jesus' Intentional Movement</a> Jesus' journey along the Sea of Galilee and up the mountain was purposeful.

It was the one instance in which He visited a distinctly heathen city, and walked by the shore of the Great Sea, and looked out towards the isles of Chittim, the isles of the Gentiles, to which His name was to come in after years as the message of joy and peace and life. It is significant, as Sidon lay to the north of Tyre, that He thus extended His journey, as though seeking for Himself and His disciples a longer period of rest for prayer and meditation. His return to Galilee must have been through some of the mountain passes of the Hermon range, bringing Him down upon the eastern shore of the lake.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/matthew/15.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 29-39. - Healing of the sick, and feeding of the four thousand.
