Up off the mat!

After spending two days in Samaria, Jesus traveled north to Galilee. The text notes that Jesus said a prophet is never honored in his hometown (John 4:44), so he stayed away from Nazareth and was welcomed by the Galileans who had seen his miracles in Jerusalem during Passover (John 4:45). Jesus also visited Cana, where he had performed his first miracle by turning water into wine.
