John 4:3

When the Lord learned of this, he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee.

He left Judea and went away again into Galilee.

So he left Judea to return to Galilee.

So Jesus left the Judean countryside and went back to Galilee.

he left Judea and started back to Galilee.

He left Judea and departed again to Galilee.

he left Judea and set out once more for Galilee. ¹ 

¹ sn The author doesn’t tell why Jesus chose to set out once more for Galilee. Some have suggested that the Pharisees turned their attention to Jesus because John the Baptist had now been thrown into prison. But the text gives no hint of this. In any case, perhaps Jesus simply did not want to provoke a confrontation at this time (knowing that his “hour” had not yet come).
