[307] λεγομένην, called) It must have been therefore an obscure place.-V. g.-κἀκεῖ διέτριβε, and there continued) This retreat was prior to His arrival in Jericho, For before that He came to Jericho. He was alone with His disciples: but at Jericho a numerous crowd of people, flocking together to Him, accompanied Him in His solemn entry into Jerusalem, and escorted Him in meeting the multitude from that city. Mat 20:17, “Jesus, going up to Jerus., took the Twelve apart;” 29, “As they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed Him;” Joh 21:8-9, “The multitudes that went before, and that followed-cried, Hosanna;” Mar 10:46, “He went out of Jericho-with a great number of people.”-Harm., p. 431.
