In one of the sabbaths following he went into a Synagogue, and healed a man with a withered hand, _Matth._ xii. 9. _Luke_ vi. 6. And when the Pharisees took counsel to destroy him, _he withdrew himself from thence, and great multitudes followed him; and he healed them all, and charged them that they should not make him known_, Matth. xii. 14. Afterwards being in a ship, and the multitude standing on the shore, he spake to them three parables together, taken from the seeds-men sowing the fields, _Matth._ xiii. by which we may know that it was now seed-time, and by consequence that the feast of Tabernacles was past. After this he went _into his own country, and taught them in their Synagogue_, but _did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief_. Then the twelve having been abroad a year, returned, and told _Jesus_ all that they had done: and at the same time _Herod_ beheaded _John_ in prison, and his disciples came and told _Jesus_; and when _Jesus_ heard it, he took the twelve and departed thence privately by ship into a desert place belonging to _Bethsaida_: and the people when they knew it, followed him on foot out of the cities, the winter being now past; and he healed their sick, and in the desert fed them to the number of five thousand men, besides women and children, with only five loaves and two fishes, _Matth._ xiv. _Luke_ ix. at the doing of which miracle the Passover of the _Jews_ was nigh, _John_ vi. 4. But _Jesus_ went not up to this feast; but _after these things walked in _Galilee_, because the _Jews__ at the Passover before had taken counsel to destroy him, and still _sought to kill him_, John vii. i. Henceforward therefore he is found first in the coast of _Tyre_ and _Sidon_, then by the sea of _Galilee_, afterwards in the coast of _Caesarea Philippi_; and lastly at _Capernaum_, _Matth._ xv. 21, 29. xvi. 13. xvii. 34. Afterwards when the feast of Tabernacles was at hand, his brethren upbraided him for walking secretly, and urged him to go up to the feast. But he went not till they were gone, and then went up privately, _John_ vii. 2. and when the _Jews_ sought to stone him, he escaped, _John_ viii. 59. After this he was at the feast of the Dedication in winter, _John_ x. 22. and when they sought again to take him, he fled beyond _Jordan_, _John_ x. 39, 40. _Matth_. xix. 1. where he stayed till the death of _Lazarus_, and then came to _Bethany_ near _Jerusalem_, and raised him, _John_ xi. 7, 18. whereupon the _Jews_ took counsel from that time to kill him: and _therefore_ he _walked no more openly among the _Jews_, but went thence into a country near to the wilderness, into a city called _Ephraim_; and there continued with his disciples_ till the last Passover, in which the _Jews_ put him to death, _John_ xi. 53, 54.
