“Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.”
John 7:8 — Greek Interlinear
Church Fathers on John 7:8

Judea has its name from the tribe of Judah; but it embraces not only the territories of Judah, but of Benjamin, all of which were called Judea, because Judah was the royal tribe Galilee has its name, from the milky, i.e. white, color of its inhabitants; Galilee being Greek for milk.
That is to say, He displayed the attribute both of divinity and humanity. He fled from His persecutors as man, He remained and appeared amongst them as God; being really both.
