When the Spring Holy Days were ended, Jesus went on into Judea. More people were now following Jesus than had followed John the Baptist. When the Pharisees heard this, they made an issue of the fact that Jesus had taken His first disciples from among those who had originally been following John. Jesus turned northward toward Galilee, perhaps to avoid friction with John's converts (John 4:1-3). - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
