耶稣说了这话，仍旧住在 加利利 。

这是什么意思？

In this verse from John's Gospel, Jesus tells his brothers that he will not travel to Jerusalem with them yet. Instead, after speaking these words, he stays behind in Galilee for the time being.

儿童解释

Imagine you and your friends are planning a trip to an amusement park. But instead of going right away, one friend says they'll wait a bit longer before joining you there. That's kind of what Jesus did here—he decided not to go to Jerusalem with his brothers just yet.

历史背景

This verse is from the Gospel of John, written around AD 90-100. The book was likely aimed at a mixed audience including Jews and Gentiles who were interested in or had converted to Christianity. At this time, Jesus' ministry was taking place against the backdrop of Roman rule over Judea.

今日应用

Think about when you might need to wait before making an important decision. Just like Jesus stayed behind in Galilee for a while, sometimes it’s wise to take more time to think things through or wait on others.
