Context of John 4:43

41Many more believed because of what he said. 42And they told the woman, “We no longer believe because of what you said, since we have heard for ourselves and know that this really is the Savior of the world.” After two days he left there for Galilee. 44(Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.) 45When they entered Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him because they had seen everything he did in Jerusalem during the festival. For they also had gone to the festival.
