144:0.2 There were a [[number]] of reasons why [[Jesus]] and his [[apostles]] were in [[retirement]] at this time on the borders of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaria Samaria] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decapolis Decapolis]. The [[Jerusalem]] [[Sanhedrin|religious rulers]] were very [[antagonistic]]; [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_Antipas Herod Antipas] still held [[John the Baptist|John]] [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_135#135:11._JOHN_IN_PRISON in prison], [[fearing]] either to release or [[execute]] him, while he continued to entertain [[suspicions]] that [[John the Baptist|John]] and [[Jesus]] were in some way [[associated]].
