[1] {departed} \\the Syrophenician woman\\
For the first time the rejected Son of David ministers to a Gentile. It
is a precursive fulfilment of
# Mt 12:18
Addressed by a Gentile as Son of David, He makes no reply, for a
Gentile has no claim upon Him in that character
» See Note "Mt 2:2"
# Eph 2:12
Addressing him as "Lord," she obtained an immediate answer.
# Ro 10:12,13

[1] {Peter} [2] {church}
There is the Greek a play upon the words, "thou art Peter
[\\petros\\--literally 'a little rock'], and upon this rock [Petra] I will
build my church." He does not promise to build His church upon Peter,
but upon Himself, as Peter is careful to tell us (1Pe 2.4-9)
# 1Pe 2:4-9
[2] Gr. ecclesia (ek=="out of," kaleo =="to call"), an assembly of called
out ones. The word is used of any assembly; the word itself implies no
more, as, e.g., the town-meeting at Ephesus
# Ac 19:39
and Israel, called out of Egypt and assembled in the wilderness
# Ac 7:38
Israel was a true "church," but not in any sense the N.T. church--the
only point of similarity being that both were "called out" and by the
same God. All else is contrast.

[1] {keys of the kingdom}
Not the keys of the church, but of the kingdom of heaven in the sense
of Mat 13., i.e. the sphere of Christian profession. A key is a badge of
power or authority (cf)
# Isa 22:22 Re 3:7
The apostolic history explains and limits this trust, for it was Peter
who opened the door of Christian opportunity to Israel on the day of
Pentecost
# Ac 2:38-42
and to Gentiles in the house of Cornelius.
# Ac 10:34-46
There was no assumption by Peter of any other authority
# Ac 15:7-11
In the council James, not Peter, seems to have presided
# Ac 15:19 Ga 2:11-15
Peter claimed no more for himself than to be an apostle by gift
# 1Pe 1:1
and an elder by office
# 1Pe 5:1
The power of binding and loosing was shared
# Mt 18:18 Joh 20:23
by the other disciples. That it did not involve the determination of
the eternal destiny of souls is clear from
# Re 1:18
The keys of death and the place of departed spirits are held by Christ
alone.

[2] {charged}
The disciples had been proclaiming Jesus as the Christ, i.e. the
covenanted King of a kingdom promised to the Jews, and "at hand." The
church, on the contrary, must be built upon testimony to Him as crucified,
risen from the dead, ascended, and made "Head over all things to the
church."
# Eph 1:20-23
The former testimony was ended, the new testimony was not yet ready,
because the blood of the new covenant had not yet been
shed, but our Lord begins to speak of His death and resurrection (v. 21)
It is a turning-point of immense significance.
