The event in this passage took place in Galilee, at the Sea of Galilee; but before that, Jesus had been in Jerusalem where there had arisen the controversy concerning Him at the pool of Bethesda. This event took place in April, about one year before the Cross. During the last year of His ministry, Jesus confined Himself to Galilee because of a Jewish plot to kill Him. It says that He walked no longer in Jewry; that means Judea, because the religious rulers there had plotted to kill him. Jesus is following a divine schedule which His Father had given Him. These men could not touch him until His time had come.
