Luk_9:7-9) introduces this circumstance as well as the account of the Baptist’s death, between the sending out and the return of the Twelve, which, considering the excitement that had already been created by the doings of Jesus, would appear to be rather early. Yet Luke represents the imprisonment of John as having taken place much earlier still (Luk_3:19 ff.).

τ . ἀκοὴν Ἰησοῦ , as in Mat_4:24.
