Mark 9:30

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

This verse informs us that our Lord and his disciples now left the neighbourhood of Caesarea Philippi. Their route would be across the Jordan above the Sea of Galilee, and so by the usual track through Galilee down to Capernaum.

Our Lord now wished for privacy, that he might farther instruct his disciples with regard to his sufferings and death.
