is a historical notice serving to recall the general situation indicated in Luke 9:51. So again in Luke 17:11. “Luke gives us to understand that it is always the same journey which goes on with incidents analogous to those of the preceding cycle,” Godet. Hahn, however, maintains that here begins a new division of the history and a new journey to Jerusalem, yet not the final one. This division extends from this point to Luke 17:10, and contains (1) words of Jesus on the way to Jerusalem (Luke 13:22-35), (2) words spoken probably in Jerusalem (Luke 14:1-24), (3) words spoken after the return to Galilee. διδάσκων, teaching; the main occupation of Jesus as He went from village to village. The long section from Luke 9:51 to Luke 18:14 is chiefly didactic in contents, though an occasional healing is recorded. καὶ πορ. ποι., the καὶ is epexegetic = and at the same time; His face set towards Jerusalem as He taught.
