John 4 verses
John 4 43 Meaning
Jesus departing from Samaria to Galilee. The Galileans welcomed him. He had told them about Himself, having witnessed his works in Jerusalem during the Passover. This highlights a contrast: the prophet from his hometown.
John 4 43 Context
This verse follows Jesus' interaction with the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well. He had been in Judea, but as the Pharisees heard he was making and baptizing more disciples than John, he departed for Galilee. His route led him through Samaria, where he encountered the woman and ministered. The Samaritans believed because of her testimony. Now, Jesus moves from Samaria to Galilee. The phrase "from thence" connects this movement geographically. The Galileans' welcome stands in contrast to the immediate reception by the Samaritans and hints at a different response compared to his own hometown later. His departure from Samaria and move to Galilee sets the stage for his ministry in that region, which will include calling his disciples, performing miracles, and teaching. The reference to Jerusalem's Passover underscores that people in Galilee had prior knowledge of his actions, fostering anticipation for his arrival.

John 4 43 Bonus Section
The text implies a foundational belief building upon outward observation of miracles. This aligns with the Gospel of John's focus on signs as pointers to Jesus' identity. While the Galileans received him, their faith, at this point, was still largely based on what they had seen rather than a deeper understanding of His spiritual identity, a process that would unfold through His ongoing ministry in their region. This also sets a backdrop for later rejection by some, showing that widespread popular acclaim can be superficial and changeable, and not indicative of true discipleship by all.
John 4 43 Commentary
Jesus' departure from Samaria signifies the conclusion of that pivotal encounter, leading into the next phase of his Galilean ministry. The positive reception by the Galileans, who had witnessed his earlier deeds in Jerusalem, contrasts with later experiences in his own hometown, emphasizing that proximity does not always equate to acceptance. This verse foreshadows Jesus’ extensive work in Galilee, a region that became a primary theater for his miracles, teachings, and the calling of his disciples. It underscores how Jesus' reputation preceded him, building upon the foundation of his signs in Jerusalem.
