“Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.”
When he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the Feast, for they too had been there. — despite the proverb, the Galileans receive Jesus favorably because they witnessed his signs in Jerusalem. This note resolves the tension in v. 44: Jesus receives honor in Galilee because of his deeds, not despite his origin.
