Verses 43 4Ga.-The return to Gal.
lice
The principal interest of the fourth
gospel Is In events which happened In
the Judean ministry of Jesus. But
there are occasions when John gives
us glimpse of that other ministry OF
which the other writer's speak so ex-
tensiyely. So now "after" telling OF
the two days" of ministry among the
Samaritans he says that he went
forth from thence into Galilee- The
next verse Is obviously inserted ms
supplying a reason for this journey.
but 1t is almost impossible to give "A
sure Interpretation of ifs significance.
Jesus himself testified" we are told,
that a prophet beth no honor In his
own country" The same proverb Is
mentioned in the three other gospels.
but with meaning that Is clearly out
Of place here. What does John really
signIfy-that Jesus was a .Iudean.
from which province he was coming.
No. for there are other passages to
show that lie regarded him as Call
lean. Compare !. 40; vii. II, % Tint
Ibis own country as thee promised
Messiah. the offspring of David. was
really Jndea? This seems salisfac-
tory explanation 10 many. but Il must
be remembered that the gospel has de-
clared that Jesus received more candi-
dates for his baptism In Judea than
did John the Baptist. Was his own
country Galilee? III We 50 believe In
view of the verse that follows We must
conjecture that he had previously
avoided the province, thinking that al
a prophet he would have no honor
there. But having won such honor in
Judea a. the time of the passover,
when many Galileans were present,
when he now returns to Galilee he re-
ceiyes the welcome recorded. None Of
these views is entirely satisfactory.
Perhaps the latter one most nearly
fits the following verse: so when he
came into Galllee the Galileans receiy-
ed him. having seen all the things that
be did In Jerusalem at the feast, for
they also went unto the feast" In
Galllee Jesus returned to the place
where he had first attracted public at
tention-"Cana of Galilee. where he
made tire water wine" The news OF
his return probably revived the won
der of that first miracle. Because he
had given a .'sign' here the country
side was ready TO welcome him.
