Tyre

A wealthy Phoenician port city — famous for its trade and pride

Phoenicia

About This Place

A major Mediterranean trading center built partially on an island. The prophets pronounced judgment against Tyre for its pride and wealth (Isaiah 23, Ezekiel 26-28). Jesus visited the region and said it would have repented if it had seen His miracles (Matthew 11:21-22). Paul spent a week with believers there on his final journey to Jerusalem (Acts 21:3-7).

Chapters Mentioning Tyre

Acts

The Night the Chains Fell Off

Herod arrests Peter and executes James, but the church prays — and God answers with chains falling off, gates swinging open, and a prayer meeting that can't believe its own answered prayer. Meanwhile, a king who accepts worship meant for God discovers just how seriously heaven takes that.

Acts

The Road Nobody Wanted Him to Take

Paul pushes toward Jerusalem despite every warning along the way — friends begging him to stop, a prophet acting out his arrest, and his own team in tears. He arrives, tries to make peace, and walks straight into a mob.

Luke

The Story That Changed the Question

Jesus sends out seventy-two followers with nothing but a message, drops one of the most famous stories ever told about a man left for dead on a road, and gently reminds a busy friend that sometimes the best thing you can do is stop and sit.

Luke

The Rules Don't Work the Way You Think

Jesus picks two fights with the Pharisees over the Sabbath, handpicks his twelve apostles after an all-night prayer session, then delivers a sermon on a plain that redefines who's blessed, who's in trouble, and what love actually looks like.

Mark

The Line in the Sand

Jesus heals on the Sabbath and dares anyone to argue with it, handpicks twelve ordinary men to change the world, and draws a line between honest skepticism and something far more dangerous.

Mark

What Actually Makes You Clean

Jesus takes on the religious establishment's obsession with looking clean on the outside, drops a bombshell about what really defiles a person, then has a conversation with a foreign woman that nobody saw coming — and heals a man who couldn't hear or speak.

Matthew

When Doubt Meets an Invitation

John the Baptist sends a question from prison that everyone's been thinking. Jesus answers with evidence, not argument — then turns to the crowd with a warning, a lament, and an invitation that has stopped people mid-sentence for two thousand years.

Matthew

What Actually Makes You Unclean

Jesus exposes the difference between looking clean and actually being clean, has a gut-wrenching conversation with a desperate mother who refuses to be turned away, and then feeds another massive crowd with almost nothing.
