“Jesus entered Jericho.
He was passing through.”
Καὶ εἰσελθὼν διήρχετο τὴν Ἱερειχώ
Luke uniquely said that Jesus entered Jericho (Καὶ εἰσελθὼν…τὴν Ἱερειχώ), but that he was only passing through (διήρχετο), not staying there. Jericho was an important customs center on a main trading route, about 16 miles northeast of Jerusalem. Just as Luke had Jesus cure the blind man while on his way into Jericho, now Luke had Jesus enter Jericho on his way to Jerusalem. What do you know about walls of Jericho?
