Ver. 9-11. Christ, who, Luke 2:51, went with his parents to Nazareth, and was subject to them, after he had been disputing with the doctors in the temple, now goes from Nazareth, a city in Galilee, to that part of Galilee near Jordan, or rather to Bethabara, where John was baptizing, and was baptized: See Poole on "Matthew 3:13". See Poole on "Matthew 3:16". See Poole on "Matthew 3:17". See Poole on "1 Thessalonians 1:28", where this piece of history is more fully related. Luke addeth, that Christ was now about thirty years of age.
