Philip Schaff's Popular Commentary (4 vols)

Luke 13:17

Luke 13:17. All his adversaries. A number must have been present.

All the multitude rejoiced. This does not oppose the view that the miracle occurred in Perea, late in the ministry. Although Galilee had been abandoned by Him, and Jerusalem had been repeatedly hostile, we infer from Matthew 18:2, that He was still heard with gladness in Perea; in fact some such wave of popularity must have preceded the entry into Jerusalem.

Were done by him. The original indicates continued working, which agrees with Matthew 18:2.
