This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
And he turned (kai strapheis). Second aorist passive participle of strephō, common verb. It is a dramatic act on the part of Jesus, a deliberate effort to check the wild and unthinking enthusiasm of the crowds who followed just to be following. Note “many multitudes” (ochloi polloi) and the imperfect tense suneporeuonto, were going along with him.
