Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 4:43

And after two days he went forth from thence into Galilee. For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honor in his own country.JESUS ENTERED GALILEE AGAINAfter two days ... These were the two days just spent in Sychar.A prophet hath no honor in his own country ... The injection of this proverb in such a manner as to make it a reason for Jesus' going into Galilee (which was his own country) presents a problem that has been solved in various ways. Alford thought that Jesus intended to... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 4:45

So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things he did in Jerusalem: for they also went up to the feast.See under preceding verse. This reception f the Galileans sprang not from any spiritual rapport with Jesus, but derived from the miracles they had witnessed in Jerusalem. Thus far, John had recorded only one of the seven great signs, that of the miracle in Cana; but there have been repeated references to a great plurality of "signs" (John 2:23; 3:2), and... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 4:46

He came therefore again unto Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.Therefore ... seems to make some event previously related the reason of Jesus' going on to Cana a second time. The fact of the Galileans having received him as soon as he entered the province appears to be that reason. Jesus did not remain in the area where they had hailed him, due to the improper basis upon which they received him, that is, as a mere... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 4:44

John 4:44. For Jesus himself testified, &c.— It is plain that this is spoken as the reason why he rather chose to travel into those parts of Galilee, than to go directly to Nazareth, which is particularly called his own country, in distinction from Galilee, and even from Capernaum. Luke 4:23. The time when Jesus made the testimony in this verse, is not limited; for the tense of the verb εμαρτυρησεν, testified, is used in a vague sense, and applied to things past, present, and future; the... read more

John 4:46. There was a certain nobleman,— Though Herod was only tetrarch of Galilee, yet he was commonly distinguished by the title of king; and as Capernaum lay in his dominions, this person was probably a nobleman of some distinction belonging to his court; for this is the proper signification of the original βασιλικος, which the Syriac and Arabic versions render, a minister or servant of the king; and many have conjectured, that the person who is here spoken of was Chuza, Herod's steward,... read more

44. For Jesus testified, c.—This verse had occasioned much discussion. For it seems strange, if "His own country" here means Nazareth, which was in Galilee, that it should be said He came to Galilee because in one of its towns He expected no good reception. But all will be simple and natural if we fill up the statement thus: "He went into the region of Galilee, but not, as might have been expected, to that part of it called 'His own country,' Nazareth (see Mark 6:4 Luke 4:24), for He acted on... read more

Even this our Lord did not despise, for saving conversion often begins in less than this (so Zaccheus, Luke 19:3-10). for they also went—that is, it was their practice to go up to the feast. read more
