Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 4:39-40

John 4:39-40. And many of the Samaritans—believed— Many of the Samaritans had been so struck with the account which the woman gave of Jesus, that they believed him to be the Messiah on her testimony. Accordingly, being come to him, they begged him to take up his residence in their city. Jesus, in compassion to their wants and desires, complied so far as to stay with them two days; which was a proper mediumbetween his entirely neglecting them, and the giving them so much of his time and company... read more

John 4:41-42. And many more believed— This was the more extraordinary, as they not only had a natural prejudice against him asa Jew; but, living near mount Gerizim, had a particular interest in maintaining the usual worship there, which must have been very advantageous to the neighbourhood in a temporal point of view. Perhaps on this they would no longer worship there, which might irritate the rest of the Samaritans, and mightin part excite the ill usage which Christ afterwards met with in this... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 4:44

John 4:44. For Jesus himself testified, &c.— It is plain that this is spoken as the reason why he rather chose to travel into those parts of Galilee, than to go directly to Nazareth, which is particularly called his own country, in distinction from Galilee, and even from Capernaum. Luke 4:23. The time when Jesus made the testimony in this verse, is not limited; for the tense of the verb εμαρτυρησεν, testified, is used in a vague sense, and applied to things past, present, and future; the... read more

John 4:45. Then—the Galileans received him,— That is, treated him courteously, and attended his ministry with a disposition to believe. See Ch. Joh 2:23 Joh 3:2 and Luke 4:14-15. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 4:46

John 4:46. There was a certain nobleman,— Though Herod was only tetrarch of Galilee, yet he was commonly distinguished by the title of king; and as Capernaum lay in his dominions, this person was probably a nobleman of some distinction belonging to his court; for this is the proper signification of the original βασιλικος, which the Syriac and Arabic versions render, a minister or servant of the king; and many have conjectured, that the person who is here spoken of was Chuza, Herod's steward,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 4:47

John 4:47. He—besought him that he would come down— Though this nobleman's faith in our Lord's miraculous power was certainly very great, for he came at least a day's journey across the country to him,—which may be fairly inferred from Joh 4:52 as well as from the accounts which the best geographers give us of the situation of Cana and Capernaum;—yet it is plain, that it was not equal to that of many others mentioned in the gospels; for he appears to have thought it necessary that Jesus should... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 4:48

John 4:48. Except ye see signs, &c.— Jesus said to him, and to them that were about him, "I perceive that though the Samaritans shewed so great a regard to my word, as to believe without the cogency of miracles, (see on John 4:41.) yet unless you see with your own eyes some remarkable and repeated miracles, you will not believe;)"—therebyjustly reproving him and them for that mixture of suspicion and slowness of faith which he discerned in their minds. See the preceding note. It seems... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 4:49

John 4:49-50. The nobleman saith unto him, &c.— Weak as his faith was, the nobleman urged only parental affection, determined to press the matter to the utmost; and therefore, without any explication or apology respecting our Lord's reproof, he entreats him to come down ere his child die; urging that the case was so extreme, that a delay might be attended with the most fatal consequences; but not having an idea that Christ, as the Lord of life as well as of health, could as easily remedy... read more

John 4:52. Yesterday at the seventh hour, &c.— That is, it left him all of a sudden; so that being restored to perfect health in an instant, the whole family knew that he was miraculously cured, and particularly the nobleman himself, who, by the time of the cure, perceived that it happened at the very moment that Jesus had pronounce read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 4:54

John 4:54. The second miracle— Some render it, A second. Others translate it, This second miracle Jesus performed, when he came out of Judea; for it is manifest that the words must be taken with this limitation, as Christ had wrought many miracles in other places. Inferences drawn from the cure of the ruler's son, John 4:46-54. The divine mercies are as comfortable in their issue, as in themselves; seldom or ever do blessings go alone: where our Saviour supplied the bridegroom's wine, there he... read more
