Continuity mistake: Saw VII takes place straight after Saw VI. In Saw VI we see Jill put Hoffman in the bear trap and leave. We then see that Hoffman spends around 45 seconds trying to get the trap off before putting in the bars on the window. In this film however, just after Jill closes the door we see the glass break. No delay. (00:08:20)
Saw 3D (2010)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Kevin Greutert
Starring: Cary Elwes, Tobin Bell, Betsy Russell, Costas Mandylor
Hoffman corners Jill and puts a reverse bear trap on her head with no key, killing her. Then Hoffman is abducted by Dr. Gordon and Brad and Ryan. Dr. Gordon reveals that after he sawed off his own foot John nursed him back to health and told him to watch over Jill. Hoffman is trapped in the bathroom, chained to a pipe like Dr. Gordon in the first movie. Dr. Gordon leaves the bathroom after throwing the saw out off the bathroom, leaving Hoffman to die.

Hoffman: You wanna know the only thing that's wrong with killing you, Jill? I can only do it once.
Trivia: Spoilers. At one point, the two pig masks that assist Gordon were supposed to be Brad and Ryan from the opening public trap. This was related to the original ending, in which it is revealed that a number of the survivor's group members have been assisting John and Gordon with their work, behind the back of Hoffman. However, with this idea having been dropped, the identity of the two pig masks has now been left up to the imagination of the viewer. After the release of Jigsaw in 2017, it is revealed that John has another apprentice, Logan. Logan is of similar build to one of the pigmen and is quite possibly one of them.

Answer: He, his wife and his daughter were abducted before he decided to work with Jigsaw. He didn't put them in danger. As for why he decided to work with Jigsaw following his ordeal, like other characters in the franchise, he either developed a level of Stockholm syndrome or he concluded that Jigsaw's methods were right, or a combination of both.
