Now after two days he departed from there, and went into Galilee.
All Commentaries on John 4:43 Go To John 4
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
After staying two days in Samaria, He departed into Galilee, where He resided: Now after two days He departed thence, and went into Galilee.
Why then does the Evangelist say immediately, For Jesus Himself testified, that a prophet has no honor in his own country. For He would seem to have testified more to the truth, had He remained in Samaria, and not gone into Galilee. Not so: He stayed two days in Samaria and the Samaritans believed on Him: He stayed the same time in Galilee, and the Galileans did not believe on Him, and therefore He said, that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
