Exegesis
The coordinated genitives Turou kai Sidonos {Τύρου καὶ Σιδῶνος | Týrou kaí Sidônos} define these districts as belonging to or associated with Tyre and Sidon, notable Gentile coastal centers to the northwest of Galilee. Syntactically, the participle–main verb sequence highlights first the departure, then the intentional withdrawal into largely non-Jewish territory, underscoring a boundary-crossing move in the narrative flow. The formal rendering preserves the participial nuance through “went out … and withdrew,” while the dynamic version condenses the sequence for smoother contemporary English with “left that place and traveled,” still reflecting purposeful movement into a new regional context.
In context — Matthew 15:21
And Jesus went out from there and withdrew into the districts of Tyre and Sidon.
