Charles Ellicott Commentary Luke 13:22

"And he went on his way through cities and villages, teaching, and journeying on unto Jerusalem." — Luke 13:22 (ASV)

And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying.—Literally, making a journey, implying a deliberately planned circuit. This is apparently the continuation of the same journey whose beginning Luke 9:51 recorded.

There seems reason to believe, as stated in the Note on that passage, that it primarily passed through the cities and villages of Perea, the modern Hauran, on the east side of the Jordan. Such a journey, though with comparatively little record of what happened during it, is implied in Matthew 19:1 and Mark 10:1, and in the retreat beyond Jordan mentioned in John 10:40.

This journey had first led our Lord through Samaria (Luke 9:52), then back to Samaria and Galilee again (Luke 17:11), and then, either from the east by crossing the river or from the west, to Jericho (Luke 18:35).
