Mark 7:31-37 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came to the sea of Galilee, through the middle of the coasts of Decapolis.… 1. The departure from the multitude, i.e., from evil companions, sinful desires, corrupt practices. 2. The favour which comes from Christ, who gives us both the sight of our sins, and the knowledge of God's will; and then strengthens us to obey His commands. 3. The confession of our sins which is given us when Christ touches our tongue with the wisdom which is from above, and gives us grace to acknowledge God by word and deed. (W. Denton, M. A.)
