This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
He taught (ἐδίδασκεν)
The Rev. would have done better to give the force of the imperfect here: He was teaching. He sought seclusion because he was engaged for the time in instructing. The teaching was the continuation of the “began to teach” (Mar 8:31).
Is delivered
The present tense is graphic. The future is realized by the Lord as already present. See on Mat 26:2.
