Exegesis
The final prepositional phrase peran tou Iordanou {πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου | péran tou Iordánou} further specifies that this Judean territory lies beyond, or across, the Jordan, sharpening the geographical focus. The English renderings preserve the temporal subordination (“when…”) followed by the main action, and they represent the boundary term horia with “region” or “area” to communicate a defined territorial district in natural contemporary language.
In context — Matthew 19:1
And it happened, when Jesus had finished these words, He moved away from Galilee and went into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.
