“And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.”
They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where they were — the withdrawal through Galilee is deliberate concealment: Jesus does not want anyone to know where they are. The reason is given in verse 31: he was teaching his disciples privately. The ministry has shifted from public proclamation to intensive private instruction of the twelve — the Galilean campaign is essentially over, and the journey toward Jerusalem (and the cross) has begun.
