Having de- scribed the crisis in Galilee the evangelist proceeds to describe the various opinions and discussions held regarding Jesus in Jerusalem. See Sanday, p. 144. In chap. vi., a Passover was said to be at Παπά; but Jesus did not go to it, but con- tinued to go about teaching in Galilee, περιεπάτει 6 ᾿Ιησοῦς μετὰ ταῦτα ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαία. Although appropriate to a single school, περιπάτειν denoted gener- ally the going about of a teacher with his disciples; hence, ‘‘to dispute,” or ‘to discourse”’. περίπατος in Aristoph., Frogs, 907 and 918, means “a philo- sophical discussion or argumentation”’. John assigns a reason for Jesus remain- ing in Galilee; this, according to Holtz- mann and Weiss, proves that he con- sidered the Judaean ministry the rule, the Galilean the exception. But the assigning of a reason may be accounted for by the unlikelihood of Jesus remain- ing in Galilee after what was recorded in chap. vi. His reason for remaining in Galilee, even after His rejection there, was the active hostility of the Jews, ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν ot ᾿Ιουδαῖοι ἀποκτεῖναι. See νετ. 18. Things were not yet ripe for His exposing Himself to the hostility of the authorities.—Ver. 2. But occasion arose for His abandoning His purpose to remain in Galilee. qv δὲ . . «

(Lev. xxiii. 34), the Feast of Succoth, or Booths, in Greek σκηνοπηγία, the fixing of tents; so called because in this Feast the Jews commemorated how their fathers had dwelt in tents, and been fed and cared for as if in a settled condition. It was one of the great Feasts, and as it fell in October and Jesus had not at- tended the previous Passover, it might seem desirable that He should go up to Jerusalem now.—Ver. 3.
