Albert Barnes Commentary Mark 7:31

"And again he went out from the borders of Tyre, and came through Sidon unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of Decapolis." — Mark 7:31 (ASV)

Departing from the coasts. The country, or regions of Tyre.

Came unto the sea of Galilee. The sea of Tiberias.

Decapolis. See Matthew 4:25. He did not go immediately into Capernaum, or any city where he was known, but into the retired regions around the sea of Galilee. This was done to avoid the designs of the Pharisees who sought his life.
