This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Christ (as we heard before, Joh_4:3) was upon his journey into Galilee, only he stopped two days at Sichem to gratify the desires of the Samaritans of that city; which two days being now spent, he keepeth on in his journey. But here ariseth a question, viz. Whether he first went to Nazareth, or to Cana? For the opinion of those who think he first went to Nazareth, is quoted Mat_4:12. Besides, it is said that Nazareth was in his road to Cana, and, Luk_4:24, he is said to have uttered these words there. Chemnitius thinks he went first to Cana, according to what John relates in the following verses. And, Luk_4:16, he is said to have gone out of Galilee to Nazareth: and besides, the next mentioned miracle is {Joh_4:54} said to have been Christ’s second miracle, which it could not have been had he first gone to Nazareth, for, Luk_4:23, those of Nazareth mention some miracles which he had wrought at Capernaum.
