Bible Question (short): Jesus departed into Galilee |
Question (full): I was reading in the gospel of John, and as I read the following verses, I felt the need to pause. Then a question about these verses entered my mind. Maybe someone in here can give me an answer. The verses are - John 4:1 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, 2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,) 3 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee. Question - Why was it that when the Lord, Jesus heard that, His name was being associated with water baptism, He left Judaea, and departed into Galilee? Any thoughts? |
