John 4:43 Meaning and Commentary

John 4:43

Now after two days he departed thence
When he had stayed two days at Sychar conversing with, and discoursing to the Samaritans, which were the means of the conversion of many of them; he departed out of that country, and passed on his way:

and went into Galilee;
as he first intended; see ( John 4:3 ) .

John 4:43 In-Context

41 A lot more people entrusted their lives to him when they heard what he had to say.
42 They said to the woman, "We're no longer taking this on your say-so. We've heard it for ourselves and know it for sure. He's the Savior of the world!"
43 After the two days he left for Galilee.
44 Now, Jesus knew well from experience that a prophet is not respected in the place where he grew up.
45 So when he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, but only because they were impressed with what he had done in Jerusalem during the Passover Feast, not that they really had a clue about who he was or what he was up to.
