Giovanni 4:45

45 Quando adunque egli fu venuto in Galilea, i Galilei lo ricevettero, avendo vedute tutte le cose ch’egli avea fatte in Gerusalemme nella festa; perciocchè anche essi eran venuti alla festa.

Giovanni 4:45 Meaning and Commentary

John 4:45

Then when he was come into Galilee
That part of it in which Cana lay, as appears by what follows:

the Galilaeans received him;
willingly, readily, and cheerfully, with much delight and pleasure, and with marks of great esteem and respect: they received him into their houses, and entertained him, and provided for him and his disciples:

having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem, at the feast
of the passover; the miracles he wrought there, see ( John 2:23 ) ;

for they also went unto the feast;
as well as Jesus and his disciples: they kept the feast of the passover, and went yearly to Jerusalem on that account: so Josephus speaks of the Galilaeans going to the Jewish festivals at Jerusalem, when he says ^F3;

``it was the custom, or usual with the Galilaeans, when they went to the holy city at the festivals, to go through the country of the Samaritans;''

which was the way that Christ now came from thence to them.

Giovanni 4:45 In-Context

43 ORA, passati que’ due giorni, egli si partì di là, e se ne andò in Galilea.

44 Poichè Gesù stesso avea testimoniato che un profeta non è onorato nella sua propria patria.

45 Quando adunque egli fu venuto in Galilea, i Galilei lo ricevettero, avendo vedute tutte le cose ch’egli avea fatte in Gerusalemme nella festa; perciocchè anche essi eran venuti alla festa.

46 Gesù adunque venne di nuovo in Cana di Galilea, dove avea fatto dell’acqua vino. Or v’era un certo ufficial reale, il cui figliuolo era infermo in Capernaum.

47 Costui, avendo udito che Gesù era venuto di Giudea in Galilea, andò a lui, e lo pregò che scendesse, e guarisse il suo figliuolo; perciocchè egli stava per morire.
