Context of John 4:43

41Many more believed in Him [with a deep, abiding trust] because of His word [His personal message to them]; 42and they told the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; for [now] we have heard Him for ourselves and know [with confident assurance] that this One is truly the Savior of [all] the world.” After the two days He went on from there into Galilee. 44For Jesus Himself declared that a prophet has no honor in his own country. 45So when He arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed Him, since they had seen all the things that He did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they too came to the feast.
