ExplanationCommentary
Verse 26. This is desert. In construction, whether we regard the Latin or Greek, to be desert, may either agree to the way leading to Gaza, or the city itself, which formerly had been almost destroyed. Witham.—To the site of old Gaza, which was then a desert; above which was built the new Gaza, nearer the sea. V.—Beza frequently makes very free with Saint Luke, and in his annotations, an. 1556, says the text is wrong; it cannot be so.
