約翰福音 4:43-46 RCUVTS

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 4:46

Where he made the water wine - See the notes on John 2:1 , etc. Cana was on the road from Nazareth to Capernaum and the Sea of Tiberias. A certain nobleman - An officer of the king's court: for this is the meaning of the original word, βασιλικος , which the Vulgate translates regulus , a little king. This officer belonged to Herod Antipas, who was then tetrarch of Galilee. Jerome calls him Palatinus, and says he was an officer of the king's palace. Others think it was Chuza,... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 4:45

Verse 45 45.The Galileans received him. Whether or not this honor was of long duration we have not the means of determining; for there is nothing to which men are more prone than forgetfulness of the gifts of God. Nor does John relate this with any other design than to inform us that Christ performed miracles in presence of many witnesses, so that the report of them was spread far and wide. Again, this points out one advantage of miracles, that they prepare the way for doctrine; for they cause... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 4:46

Verse 46 46.And there was a certain courtier. This is a more correct rendering, though Erasmus thinks differently, who has translated βασιλικός by a Latin word, Regulus, which means a little king. (89) I acknowledge indeed that, at that time, they gave the name of Reguli (or, little kings) to those who are now called Dukes, or Barons, or Earls; but the state of Galilee at that time was such that there could be no person of that rank dwelling in Capernaum. I think that he was some nobleman (90)... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 4:43-45

Now after the two days— i.e. the two days of our Lord's sojourn in Sychar ( John 4:40 )— he went forth £ thence into Galilee. Here the author takes up the narrative of John 4:3 . The delay in Samaria was parenthetical to the chief end of his journey, which was to leave Judaea and commence his ministry in Galilee. He now enters it a second time from Judaea. For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country, When therefore he came into Galilee, the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 4:43-45

Our Lord's return into Galilee. He was now about to enter on the scene of his longest ministry. I. THE REASON OF HIS RETURN TO GALILEE . "For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country." 1 . This might appear to be a reason for his avoiding Galilee, which was undoubtedly his own country. 2 . He meant that, though he might have no reputation in Galilee, he could carry into it the reputation he acquired in Judaea and Jerusalem. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 4:43-54

8. The commencement of the Galilaean ministry. We read the details of the Galilaean ministry in the synoptists, who describe our Lord's public entrance, in the power of the Spirit, into Galilee. They are silent with reference to these earliest witnesses to his method and varied specimens of his work. Just as in the Revelation of St. John we have a proem, and a series of visions which rehearse the entire development of the kingdom and glory of the Lamb of God until the day of his triumph,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 4:46

He £ came therefore again unto Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. The οὖν of this verse is best explained by the simple supposition that Cana lay in his way. In Cana of Galilee, not Judaea, he had manifested forth his glory, and his disciples believed on him. He came, then, to Galilee, to Cana, and for a while tarried there, long enough for the βασιλικός to have heard of his healing power and prophetic gifts. There have been numerous attempts to identify this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 4:46-54

The second miracle of Cana. Our Lord is led to open his Galilaean ministry at the scene of his first miracle, at the spot where he had attached his first band of disciples more closely to himself. I. A FATHER 'S PRAYER FOR HIS DYING CHILD . "He besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death." 1 . The petitioner was a royal officer of the household of Herod Antipas, Tetrarch of Galilee, probably Chuza, "Herod's steward," whose... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 4:46-54

The growth of faith. In this, as in so many of our Lord's miracles, the external circumstances and incidents, interesting though they are, are less so than the spiritual lessons they teach, the spiritual processes they unfold. What manner of Saviour Christ is; how he deals with the souls of men for their good; what blessings he brings to those whom be prepares to receive them;—these great lessons are brought before us in this narrative, so simple and so natural in itself, yet so deep in... read more
