39And many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the word of the woman who was testifying, “He told me everything I did.”

40So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.

41And many more believed because of his word,

42And they were saying to the woman, “We no longer believe because of your word, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this one truly is the Savior of the world.”

43After the two days, he departed from there for Galilee.

44For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own homeland.

45So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they too had gone to the feast.
