John 4:42

John 4:42

40 So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they urged Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.

41 And many more believed because of His own ^aword.

42 Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of what you said, for ^awe ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed¹ the Christ, the Savior of the world.”

Welcome at Galilee

43 Now after the two days He departed from there and went to Galilee.

44 For ^aJesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

<< John 4:41

John 4:43 >>

We have heard him ourselves - On seeing and hearing our Lord, the faith of those who had already believed on the woman' s testimony was abundantly confirmed; and, besides those, may others believed who had not heard the woman speak.

This is indeed the Christ - The promised Messiah.

The Savior of the world - Not of the Jews only, but of the Samaritans, and of the whole Gentile world.
