[Footnote 4: Some ancient authorities read _because they had no bread_.] [Footnote 5: Or, It is _because we have no bread_.] [Footnote 6: _Basket_ in ver. 19 and 20 represents different Greek words.] [Footnote a: Jesus goes on to the region of Cæsarea Philippi on Mount Hermon, where no hostility had been aroused, and he could quietly instruct the Twelve. He probably remained in that vicinity several months, as this whole period of retirement lasted six months. He was near Bethsaida Julias in the First Retirement and now he stops here again on his way to Cæsarea Philippi. Each of the four retirements is into heathen territory (Ituræa twice, Phoenicia, Decapolis), where Greek influence prevails, and where the Greek language is dominant.] § 82.
