“And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.”
Jesus then left that place and went into the region of Judea and across the Jordan. Again crowds of people came to him, and as was his custom, he taught them — the departure from Galilee marks the beginning of the journey to Jerusalem that will culminate in the passion. The region of Judea and across the Jordan is the Transjordan/Perean route south. As was his custom, he taught them: the teaching ministry continues as the geography changes. The crowds still gather; the mission is the same even as the destination changes.
