raises questions because of the lack of detail regarding the precise time and place. Greater precision would have made analysing the passage easier. It is nevertheless possible that Luke deliberately chose to remain vague in order to suggest that the Messiah Jesus addressed this subject at different times during his ministry. This passage indicates that some of the Messiah Jesus’ disciples who were present had previously followed John the Baptist (Luke 11.1).
