Analysis & Commentary

Jesus 'arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan' (ἀναστὰς ἐκεῖθεν ἔρχεται εἰς τὰ ὅρια τῆς Ἰουδαίας καὶ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου). This geographical note marks Jesus' journey toward Jerusalem and crucifixion. Mark 10-15 chronicles Jesus' final approach to His death. The phrase 'the multitudes resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again' (συμπορεύονται πάλιν ὄχλοι πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ ὡς εἰώθει πάλιν ἐδίδασκεν αὐτούς) emphasizes Jesus' consistent teaching ministry. The adverb 'again' (palin, πάλιν) appears twice, stressing continuity—Jesus faithfully taught despite approaching death. This models ministerial faithfulness regardless of circumstances. The crowds' gathering shows continued popular interest, though many would later cry 'Crucify him!' (Mark 15:13-14), revealing the fickle nature of public acclaim.

Historical Context

Judea was the southern region of Palestine, including Jerusalem. 'The farther side of Jordan' refers to Perea, the region east of the Jordan River, part of Herod Antipas' territory. Jesus' route avoided Samaria (Jews and Samaritans had mutual hostility) while traveling from Galilee toward Jerusalem. This journey occurred during Jesus' final months before crucifixion, likely fall of AD 29 or spring of AD 30. Luke 9:51 states Jesus 'steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,' showing deliberate purpose despite knowing what awaited. The crowds continued seeking Jesus for teaching and healing, unaware that He journeyed toward divine appointment with death.
