Matthew Poole and continuators on John 7:1

AFter these things, Jesus walked in Galilee : for he would not walk in Jewry , because the Jews sought to kill him .

After the third Passover, which happened after our Saviour had entred upon his Publick Ministry, of which we read, Chap. 5.1. and all those things which we read of, Chap. 5, & 6. done by our Saviour, both at the Feast at Hierusalem, Chap. 5. and after he went into Galilee, Chap. 6.1. and had made that Excellent Discourse, of which we had a large account, Chap. 6. Jesus continued still to converse in Galilee, where he was,

for he would not go into Iudea, nor converse there,

because the Iews, for the causes mentioned, Chap. 5.18. sought to kill him: They had two things (as appeareth from thence) against him. 1. His violation of the Sabbath (as they thought) by healing him that lay at the Pool of Bethesda. 2. His making himself equal with the Father.
