At the end of this chapter, we find Jesus was teaching all day in Jerusalem, then spending the night by lodging outside the city.

A couple things to consider: this means Jesus came and went without incident for almost a week- they couldn’t find Him. Makes sense now why they needed an insider (like Judas) to sell Him out.

Two: there likely wasn’t much lodging the city. Over half a million people might have been in town for the feast. You think a census in Bethlehem was bad for lodging, imagine a feast like Passover and its implications!!
