The OEB currently reads:

"But Jesus said to them: “Let us go somewhere else, into the country towns nearby so that I can make my proclamation in them also; for that was why I came.”"

"country" appears to be a translators gloss recommend omitting and altering to a more natural word order of "nearby towns":

"But Jesus said to them: “Let us go somewhere else, into the nearby towns so that I can make my proclamation in them also; for that was why I came.”"
