The time was immediately after the discourse of chap. 12, and the place, Galilee, since Luke 13:3 seems to point out those addressed as Galileans. (So Robinson and others.) 2. It occurred during the last visit to Perea, and should be joined with what follows. In that case we have an unbroken chronological order in this Gospel from this point (chap. Luke 17:11-19 excepted). In favor of (2.) it is urged that the phrase ‘these three years' (Luke 13:7) points to a time near the close of our Lord's ministry. It is impossible to decide the question with much confidence.
