The disciples are made fugitives to Galilee RAPIDLY as midrash from:
Zechariah 13:7
7 “Awake, sword, against my shepherd,
against the man who is close to me!”
declares the Lord Almighty.
“Strike the shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered,
and I will turn my hand against the little ones
7 “Awake, sword, against my shepherd,
against the man who is close to me!”
declares the Lord Almighty.
“Strike the shepherd,
and the sheep will be scattered,
and I will turn my hand against the little ones
But what if the rapidity of the fugue and the uni-directionality of the place of fugue (the Galilee and not the Egypt, for example) betrayes the embarrassment about the Galilee as the original place of death (and the collateral need of justify their immediate presence there)?
(En passant, the Book of Apocalypse places the place of death in the city called Egypt, if I remember well).
Note that also the episode of the denial of Peter would betray the Galilee as old place of death for Jesus: the words "you also are Galilean" addressed to Peter may serve to eclipse the rival tradition, something as: "just you who pretend that you saw the Galilean crucifixion, now you see the same execution in Jerusalem and can't deny it, otherwise you are a sinner".
