Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 7:1

"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)

Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

That is, as everyone went to their own house to rest, so Jesus found rest in secret prayer on the Mount of Olives. There is a very striking contrast here; it is a pity that a dividing saw was run right through the middle of such charming, consecutive sentences.
