Footnotes

  1. 109 Grk “walked.”
  2. 110 Or “openly.”
  3. 111 Grk “among the Jews.” Here the phrase refers to the residents of Judea in general, who would be likely to report Jesus to the religious authorities. The vicinity around Jerusalem was no longer safe for Jesus and his disciples. On the translation “Judeans” cf. Ἰουδαῖος 2.e. See also the references in vv. 8, 19, 31, 33, 36, and 45.
  4. 112 There is no certain identification of the location to which Jesus withdrew in response to the decision of the Jewish authorities. Many have suggested the present town of Et-Taiyibeh, identified with ancient Ophrah (Josh 18:23) or Ephron (Josh 15:9). If so, this would be 12–15 mi (19–24 km) northeast of Jerusalem.
