John 4:3-4: He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
Contradiction with Matthew 26:55
This verse implies Jesus often taught in the temple from the start of his ministry, not just during feast-related visits to Jerusalem, potentially offering a broader context for his activities contrary to limiting travel only to feasts.
Matthew 26:55: But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
