Mar 7:26; the woman is a remarkable case of faith outside of Israel, and of Jesus’ exceptional healing beyond the precincts of the elect nation, His special sphere; parallel to Elijah’s ministration to the widow of Zarephath (Luk 4:26-27). Mark terms her a “Greek,” i.e. a Gentile; Matthew (Mat 15:22) “a woman of Canaan,” i.e., like the Phoenicians her countrymen, she was a descendant of Canaan the accursed race, yet she became blessed by Jesus through faith. Syrophoenicia is the northern end of the long strip, Phoenicia, and had Tyre for its capital.<\/p>\n
SYROPHNICIAN.This is the designation of a Greek (or Gentile) woman whose demoniac daughter Jesus healed when near Tyre (Mar 7:26). She was perhaps Greek-speaking (Swete), but was descended from the old Phnicians of Syria (|| Mat 15:22 has Canaanitish).<\/p>\n

sro-fe-nishan, sir-o- (, Surophoinissa, , Surophoinkissa; Westcott and Hort, The New Testament in Greek has variant Sura Phoinikissa; the King James Version Syrophenician): The woman from the borders of Tyre and Sidon whose daughter Jesus healed is described as a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race (Mar 7:26), and again as a Canaanitish woman (Mat 15:22). This seems to mean that she was of Canaanite descent, a native of the Phoenician seaboard, Greek in religion, and probably also in speech. The names Syria and Phoenicia are both applied to the same region in Act 21:2, Act 21:3. Syrophoenician may therefore denote simply an inhabitant of these parts. According to Strabo (xvii. 3), this district was called Syrophoenicia to distinguish it from the North African Lybophoenicia.<\/p>\n
occurs in Mar 7:26<\/span> as the national name of a woman called “a Canaanitish woman” in Mat 15:22<\/span>, i.e., not a Jewess but a descendant of the early inhabitants of the coastland of Phoenicia. The word probably denoted a Syrian residing in Phoenicia proper. There is a tradition that the woman’s name was Justa and her daughter Bernice (Clementine Homilies, 2:19; 3:73). In Act 21:2-3<\/span>, the two parts of the term are used interchangeably. <\/p>\n Syrophoenician Mar 7:26; the woman is a remarkable case of faith outside of Israel, and of Jesus’ exceptional healing beyond the precincts of the elect nation, His special sphere; parallel to Elijah’s ministration to the widow of Zarephath (Luk 4:26-27).
