John 4:39-45

40So when the Samaritans came to him, they began asking him to stay with them. He stayed there two days,

42They said to the woman, “No longer do we believe because of your words, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this one really is the Savior of the world.”

43After the two days he departed from there to Galilee.
