Mark 7:31

After the instructive episode Jesus continued His journey, going northwards through (διὰ, vide critical notes) Sidon, then making a circuit so as to arrive through Decapolis at the Sea of Galilee. The route is not more definitely indicated; perhaps it was along the highway over the Lebanon range to Damascus; it may conceivably have touched that ancient city, which, according to Pliny (H. N., v., 16), was included in Decapolis (vide Holtz., H. C., and Schürer, Div., ii., vol. i., p. 95).
