from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
walked: John 4:1-3, John 7:1, John 10:40, John 18:20
went: John 7:4, John 7:10, John 7:13
Ephraim: Ephraim appears to be the same city which is called Ephrain, - see note on 2 Chronicles 13:19, and Ephron, - see note on Joshua 15:9, which was situated eight miles north of Jerusalem, near Bethel, and apparently between that city and Jericho. Accordingly we find that a desert, or wilderness, extended from Jericho to Bethel - Joshua 16:1, called the wilderness of Bethaven - Joshua 18:12, in which Joshua and the Israelites slew the inhabitants of Ai. - Joshua 8:24. 2 Samuel 13:23, 2 Chronicles 13:19
Reciprocal: Matthew 10:23 - when Matthew 12:15 - he withdrew Mark 3:7 - Jesus Luke 13:33 - I must John 4:3 - left John 8:59 - but John 12:36 - and departed Acts 12:17 - And he
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Jesus therefore,.... Knowing the resolution the sanhedrim had taken to put him to death, and the schemes they were forming to apprehend him:
walked no more openly among the Jews; at, or near Jerusalem; he did not teach in their streets, nor work miracles, nor appear in public company:
but went thence, from Bethany:
unto a country near to the wilderness: whether this was the wilderness of Judea, where John came preaching, and near to which our Lord was before he came to Bethany, or the wilderness of Bethaven, Joshua 18:12, is not certain:
into a city called Ephraim; the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions, call it Ephren, and so some copies; it seems to be the same with the Ephraim of the Misnic and Talmudic doctors; concerning which they say r,
"Micmas and Mezonicha are the first for fine flour, and the next to them is Ephraim in the valley.''
For it seems there were two Ephraims, one in the valley, and another in the mount s it was a place very fruitful for wheat; hence that saying of Jannes and Jambres, the magicians of Egypt, to Moses t;
"do you bring straw to Ephraim?''
which was a proverbial expression, the same with ours of carrying coals to Newcastle: they seeing Moses do signs and wonders, supposed he did them by enchantment; and the sense of their proverb is, do you bring enchantments into Egypt, where there are so many already? This Ephraim, the Jews say u, is the same with that in
2 Chronicles 13:19, and as there Bethel is mentioned with it, it seems to have been in the tribe of Benjamin: and it may be observed, that Josephus w speaks of an Ephraim, along with Bethel likewise; so that they all seem to mean the same place; and according to the same writer, it was but a little city, and it may be an obscure one, for which reason Christ withdrew to it. Epiphanius x makes mention of the wilderness of Bethel and Ephraim, through which he travelled, accompanied by a Jew, as he came up from Jericho to the hill country; and is very likely the same wilderness which is here spoken of; and by some called Quarentana, and placed by the river Chereth, in the tribe of Benjamin, north east of Jerusalem; and the same writer elsewhere calls y Ephraim, the city of the wilderness: according to Jerom z, it was twenty miles from Aelia, or Jerusalem; though according to Eusebius, it was but eight miles, which is thought to be the truest account; and by them both is said to be a very large village, and in which they may not differ from Josephus; for it might be a large village, and yet a little city. Jerom a takes notice of a place called Aphra, in the tribe of Benjamin, which he says at that time was called the village Effrem, and was five miles from Bethel eastward; and of another called Aphraim, a city in the tribe of Issachar, which in his time went by the name of the village Affarea, six miles from the legion, northward; the former agrees best with this Ephraim.
And there continued with his disciples; spending his time in private conversation with them, teaching and instructing them in things concerning the kingdom of God, his time with them being now but short.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
No more openly - No more publicly, in the cities and towns. Jesus never exposed his life unnecessarily to hazard. Although the time of his death was determined in the counsel of God, yet this did not prevent his using proper means to preserve his life.
The wilderness - See the notes at Matthew 3:1.
A city called Ephraim - This was probably a small town in the tribe of Ephraim, about five miles west of Jericho.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 54. Walked no more openly — παρρησια, He did not go as before through the cities and villages, teaching, preaching, and healing the sick.
Near to the wilderness — Some MSS. add, of Samphourein, or Samphourim, or Sapfurim.
A city chilled Ephraim — Variously written in the MSS., Ephraim, Ephrem, Ephram, and Ephratha. This was a little village, situated in the neighbourhood of Bethel; for the scripture, 2 Chronicles 13:19, and Josephus, War, b. iv. c. 8. s. 9, join them both together. Many believe that this city or village was the same with that mentioned, 1 Macc. 5:46; 2 Macc. 12:27. Joshua gave it to the tribe of Judah, Joshua 15:9; and Eusebius and Jerome say it was about twenty miles north of Jerusalem.
And there continued — Calmet says, following Toynard, that he stayed there two months, from the 24th of January till the 24th of March.
