<p>10:1 <i>And he left there and went into the regions of Judea on the other side of the Jordan. Crowds gathered around him again, and as was his custom he taught them</i>- The significance is that this was the beginning of His journey to Jerusalem and death. The emphasis is upon the location of these mass healings- &ldquo;there&rdquo;, in Judea &ldquo;beyond Jordan&rdquo; (Mt. 19:1), a semi-Gentile area. The suggestion grows stronger and stronger that the future of His work is with the Gentiles.</p>
