Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
15:29-31 Jesus returned to a predominantly Gentile area and performed many miracles. Though Jesus was sent primarily for Israel’s sake (15:21-28), the new era that he inaugurated is also the beginning of Gentile salvation (1:3, 5-6; 2:1-12; 4:12-16; 8:5-13; 15:21-28; 28:16-20). • Such healings are signs that the Kingdom has broken into history through Jesus’ ministry (8:1–9:34; 11:5-6; 12:28). • the God of Israel: This phrase suggests that the crowd (15:30) was predominantly Gentile.
