Sidon, the ancient Phoenician coastal city paired with Tyre in prophetic judgment and Jesus' ministry
The proper name of a prominent Phoenician port city on the Mediterranean coast, north of Tyre. In the Gospels, Sidon appears alongside Tyre as a pagan city that would have repented had it witnessed Jesus' miracles (Matt 11:21–22; Luke 10:13–14). Jesus himself withdraws to the region of Tyre and Sidon (Matt 15:21; Mark 7:31), and crowds from Sidon come to hear him (Mark 3:8; Luke 6:17). In Acts 27:3, Paul stops at Sidon during his voyage to Rome. The pairing 'Tyre and Sidon' became proverbial in both judgment oracles and Gospel narrative.

1. Sidōn — The proper geographical name of the ancient Phoenician coastal city (modern Saida, Lebanon), consistently paired with Tyre in biblical tradition. Jesus uses Sidon as a foil for unrepentant Galilean towns (Matt 11:21–22; Luke 10:13–14), visits its region (Matt 15:21; Mark 7:31), and draws crowds from it (Mark 3:8; Luke 6:17). Paul visits Sidon en route to Rome (Acts 27:3). Spanish 'Sidón' and French 'Sidon' preserve the proper noun with minimal variation across translation traditions. 10×
