Jean 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.

Jean 4:45 In-Context

43 Deux jours aprÚs, il partit de là, et s'en alla en Galilée,
44 Car JĂ©sus lui-mĂȘme avait dĂ©clarĂ© qu'un prophĂšte n'est point honorĂ© dans son pays.
45 Lors donc qu'il fut arrivĂ© en GalilĂ©e, il fut bien reçu des GalilĂ©ens, qui avaient vu tout ce qu'il avait fait Ă  JĂ©rusalem Ă  la fĂȘte; car ils Ă©taient aussi allĂ©s Ă  la fĂȘte.
46 JĂ©sus vint donc de nouveau Ă  Cana en GalilĂ©e, oĂč il avait changĂ© l'eau en vin. Or, il y avait Ă  CapernaĂŒm un seigneur de la cour, dont le fils Ă©tait malade.
47 Cet homme, ayant appris que Jésus était venu de Judée en Galilée, s'en alla vers lui et le pria de descendre pour guérir son fils, car il allait mourir.
