John 4:54

John concludeth this History with a remark, that this miracle was the second which he wrought in Galilee, (the first being done in the same place, ch. 2.) and that he did it after he came from Judea thither. Whence learn, 1. Christs works, and particularly, his more special manifestations of himself, ought to be marked and kept in memory: as here, Johns practice after so many yeares, and his recommending that observation to the Church in all ages, teacheth. 2. Christ present works and manifestations ought not only to to affect us themselves, but should bring his former works to remembrance, that they may be considered and commended also: so doth this miracle call the former to remembrance. 3. However men may study to bear down Christ in the world, yet it will be to no purpose, for in one place or other he will be still reaping fruit, and manifesting his glory. Therefore it is marked that he did this miracle, (as also the former) when he was come out of Judea into Galilee, to shew, that their driving him from thence by their malicious plottings, did not hinder him to shew forth his glory elsewhere, nor hinder sinners to beleeve in him.
