THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JOHN - Chapter 4 - Verse 44

Verse 44. For Jesus himself testified, &c. See Barnes "Mt 13:57".

The connection of this verse with the preceding may be thus explained: "Jesus went to Galilee, but not to Nazareth, for he testified," &c. Or, "Jesus went to Galilee, although he had said that a prophet had no honour in his own country; yet, because he foreknew that the Galileans would many of them believe on him, he went at this time."

{c} "a prophet" Mt 13:57; Mr 6:4; Lu 4:24
