Church Fathers on John 4:43

Now after two days He departed thence, and went into Galilee.

Augustine · 4th century · After staying two days in Samaria, He departed into Galilee, where He resided

Or consider this the reason that He went, not to Capernaum, but to Galilee and Cana, as appears below, His country being, I think, Capernaum. As He did not obtain honor there, hear what He says; And you, Capernaum, which are exalted to heaven, shall be brought down to hell. He calls it His own country, because He had most resided here.

Chrysostom · 4th century

Our Lord on leaving Samaria for Galilee, explains why He was not always in Galilee: viz. because of the little honor He received there. A prophet has no honor in his own country.
