Bede the Venerable, on John 7:1
Bede the Venerable · c. A.D. 672–735
John 7:1 · Douay-Rheims
“After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.”
On this verse:
“The connexion of this passage admits of much taking place in the interval previously. Judæa and Galilee are divisions of the province of Palestine. Judæa has its name from the tribe of Judah; but it embraces not only the territories of Judah, but of Benjamin, all of which were called Judæa, because Judah was the royal tribe. Galilee has its name, from the milky, i. e. white, colour of its inhabitants; Galilee being Greek for milk.”
