Galilee. Textual evidence is divided (cf. p. 146) between this and the reading “Judea.” Luke seems to have used the term “Judaea” as equivalent to “Palestine.” Since Luke wrote primarily for non-Palestinian Gentiles, he may have considered the term “Judaea” more meaningful to them and sufficiently accurate for his purposes (see p. 664).
