Event 8 – Christ’s Reasons for Leaving Judea

Matthew 4:12, Mark 1:14a, John 4:1-3, 44

^K After ^M Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, ^J the Pharisees heard that Jesus was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John, although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. When the Lord learned of this, he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee. (Now Jesus himself had pointed out that a prophet has no honor in his own country.)
