Exegesis
{καὶ … ἠκολούθησεν καὶ … | kaì … ēkolouthḗsen kaì …} joins two prepositional phrases, apo tes Galilaias {ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας | apò tês Galilaías} ‘from Galilee’ and apo tes Ioudaias {ἀπὸ τῆς Ἰουδαίας | apò tês Ioudaías} ‘from Judea’, broadening the geographical scope of those who follow. The word order places the large crowd after the mention of the sea, emphasizing that even in withdrawal Jesus is accompanied and pursued by many, signaling the expanding reach of His ministry beyond a single region.
