Albert Barnes Commentary
"And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him." — John 7:1 (ASV)
After these things. After the transactions which are recorded in the last chapters had taken place, and after the offense He had given the Jews. See John 5:18.
Jesus walked. Or Jesus lived, or taught. He traveled around Galilee teaching.
In Jewry. In Judea, the southern division of Palestine. Compare. See Barnes on John 4:3.
The Jews sought. That is, the rulers of the Jews. It does not appear that the common people ever attempted to take His life.
