7:9

Having said this, Jesus remained in Galilee: In some languages it is more natural to reverse the order of the clauses in this sentence. For example:

Jesus stayed in Galilee after saying this.

Having said this: The word this refers to what Jesus just said to his brothers. In some languages it is natural to make either the subject or the object explicit. For example:

After ⌊Jesus⌋ said this ⌊to them⌋

Jesus remained in Galilee: Jesus did not go with his brothers to Jerusalem for the festival. He remained in the province of Galilee, north of Judea, for a while longer, probably a few more days. In some languages it may be natural to indicate here that Galilee was a region or province. For example:

he stayed in ⌊the province of⌋ Galilee
