John 4:39 - Forerunner Commentary

John 4:39

37 For in this the saying is true: ^a‘One sows and another reaps.’

38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; ^aothers have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”

The Savior of the World

39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him ^abecause of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all that I ever did.”

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.

45 So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, ^ahaving seen all the things He did in Jerusalem at the feast; ^bfor they also had gone to the feast.

A Nobleman’s Son Healed

46 So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee ^awhere He had made the water wine. And there was a certain¹ nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.

47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

48 Then Jesus said to him, ^a“Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe.”

49 The nobleman said to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies!”

50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your son lives.” So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.

51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, “Your son lives!”

52 Then he inquired of them the hour when he got better. And they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.”

53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” And he himself believed, and his whole household.

54 This again is the second sign Jesus did when He had come out of Judea into Galilee.
