the Jordan

요단강

Matthew 3:5–6 records people baptized here and 3:13 records Jesus coming to it. Numbers 13:29 records the spies’ report that the Canaanite dwells by the sea and along the side of the Jordan. Numbers 22:1 places the plains of Moab, where the children of Israel encamp, beyond the Jordan at Jericho. Numbers 26:3 and 26:63 place the count Moses and Eleazar the priest made of the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho. In Numbers 32 the children of Gad and of Reuben ask not to be brought over the Jordan, then answer that they will cross over armed to fight, and receive their possession on this side of the Jordan, eastward; 34:12 has the east border go down the Jordan to the Salt Sea. Joshua 3:15–17 says that when the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the edge of the water, the waters which came down from above stood, and rose up in one heap, and all Israel crossed over on dry ground; at 4:18, when the priests who bore the ark of the LORD’s covenant had come up out of the middle of the Jordan and the soles of the priests’ feet had been lifted up to the dry ground, the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and went over all its banks, as before. Mark 1:5 has all the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem baptized by John in the Jordan river, and 1:9 has Jesus baptized by John in the Jordan; 3:8 has a multitude come to Jesus from beyond the Jordan. Mark 10:1 says Jesus came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan, and multitudes came together to him again. Luke 3:3 has John come into all the region around the Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for remission of sins, and 4:1 has Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, return from the Jordan. John 1:28 says, “These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing,” and at 3:26 those who come to John say to him, “Rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, he baptizes, and everyone is coming to him.” John 10:40 says that Jesus went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and stayed there.

They are carried over from the tags on the Korean Revised Version, which are matched by name inside chapters that already have collected evidence, and a verse where the English says “he” carries none. All await human review. They are a separate list from the source passages above. An empty list does not mean the entry is absent from the text.
