Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

Great multitudes followed him - Some to be instructed - some to be healed - some through curiosity - and some to ensnare him.

And great multitudes followed him,.... The Persic version adds, "of the sick and diseased"; but all that followed him were not such, though some were: these came not only from Galilee, but from the adjacent parts, from the country beyond Jordan, and the coasts of Judea, where he had been formerly; and who resort to him again, as Mark observes; and whom, according to his usual manner, he taught and instructed in the knowledge of divine things, and confirmed his doctrines by miracles:
and he healed them there; in the above mentioned places, even as many of them as were sick and diseased.

And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there--Mark says further (Mark 10:1), that "as He was wont, He taught them there." What we now have on the subject of divorce is some of that teaching.
Divorce (Matthew 19:3-12).

Multitudes followed him, and he healed them there - That is, wheresoever they followed him.
