After this, Jesus traveled in Galilee, since he did not want to travel in Judea because the Jews were trying to kill him.

John 7:1 CSB

Could Jesus have gone to or through Judea and survived? 

Could he have miraculously made himself invisible or unable to be captured and/or killed?

Yes.

But on this day he chose to avoid the drama, avoid the confrontation and go somewhere else. 

Some days, that's what we should do to.

Simply choose another route. 

Jesus left them to it.

Left them to it.

And went his own way.

There's been times when I should've done this, times when I have. 

We don't have to fight every battle :)

Some days it's better to go through Galilee and avoid Judea, and just leave them to it.
