Moſt Interpreters agree that both Auk, chap. 10. 1, we Luke, chap. 9. 51. make mention of the fame motion of. cy; Saviour out of Galilee into the Province of Fudea, which is her. expreſſed ; tho' Luke and Fohn mention ſomething largely fy things done in the way, of which Matthew ſpeaketh nor, | j; departed from Galilee : | Our Saviour had hicherro ſpent his rime moſtly in Galilee. The Country of the Jews was divicy3 into three Provinces, Galilee, Samaria, and Fidea , Galilee wa; the more Northerly part of the Country, and was divided int the upper Galilzee, which 1s alfo called Galilee of the Geri; Matth. 4. 15. and the lower Galile? , which was contiguou; 0 it, bur lay more Southerly, and adjoined to Samaria. Our $;. viour dwelt at Nazareth a long time. Chorazin , Bethſaid,, c. pernaum, were all Cities of Galilee. He is now taking his lays of this Province into which he never returned more. Fis nex; way into Fudea lay through Samaria, ( for Samaria lay in the middle, berwixr Galilee and Fudea_) and through part of it þ did go; for Luke g. 52. ſome Inhabicanrs of a Village belonging rothe Samaritanes refuſed to receive him.[ He came into the cul of Judea beyond Fordan. | This Phraſe hath cauſed ſome Dj: ficulry to Interpreters, becauſe Fudea was bounded by 7i11:r, and had no Coaſts beyond ir. Some fay, thar the term tn Zordan muſt be applied to, he came, he came beyond 7rd:n, the Coaſts of Fudea. Others ſay, that as Men came our ot Ezjt,tie Coaſts of Fudea were beyond Zordan, Matth. 4. 15. Bur ſome rhink it ſhould be there tranſlated, by Fordan;z the word 74 ſignifies any Border, or fide of a Border. Beyond Jordan tiers fore is, on the Border of Jordan, and poffibly were beter rranſlated ſo, ſeeing the Word will bear it, and there wer ro
Coaſts of Zudea beyond Fordan : It is probable, that our $i our coming our of Galilee into Samaria, kept on the left hand near to F5rdan, till he came into Fudea, which alſo bordered 01 that River. Where-ever he went great multitudes followed hin, bur more for Healing their Bodies, or for the Loaves; than tit the Feeding, or Healing of their Souls; fo differenc is moſt peo- ples ſenfe of their Bodily and Spiritual Wants, Ze healed thm che Texr faith, bur it ſaich nor, They believed in him.
3 The Phariſees alſo came unto him, tempting him, and ſaying. unto him, Is it lawful for a mant? put away his wife for every cauſe ?
Our Saviour , tho' yer ar fome diſtance from 7eruſalem, jet was come into that Province where the Phariſees had the greac!t Power, and were in greater Numbers: Now they come to lim, Tempting him ; where the word Tempting , rather fignifics gene- rally, making a Trial of him; than ſtrily, Soliciting him t Sin They came ( as appearerh by their Queſtion ) to make « 71% wherher they could intrap him, and ger any Dererminarion tm him of a Point , for which they might accuſe him. The Que ſtion they propound to him is; Whether it be Lawful jir a Ms? to put away his Wife for every Cauſe ? The word here tranſlated Cauſe, ſignifieth not Cayſe, or Occaſim, but Crime alſo, So it.) be tranſlated Crime; but they did not only put away their Wive! for Crimes, but upon any Occaſion; in abuſe of char Text, 0: 24.
