Contextual Overview
43 Two days later Jesus left and went to Galilee. 44 (Jesus had said before that a prophet is not respected in his own country.) 45 When he arrived in Galilee, the people there welcomed him. They had been at the Passover festival in Jerusalem and had seen everything he did there. 46 Jesus went to visit Cana in Galilee again. Cana is where he had changed the water into wine. One of the king's important officials lived in the city of Capernaum. This man's son was sick. 47 The man heard that Jesus had come from Judea and was now in Galilee. So he went to Jesus and begged him to come to Capernaum and heal his son, who was almost dead. 48 Jesus said to him, "You people must see miraculous signs and wonders before you will believe in me." 49 The king's official said, "Sir, come before my little son dies." 50 Jesus answered, "Go. Your son will live." The man believed what Jesus told him and went home. 51 On the way home, the man's servants came and met him. They said, "Your son is well." 52 The man asked, "What time did my son begin to get well?" They answered, "It was about one o'clock yesterday when the fever left him."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For Jesus himself testified,.... Matthew 13:57;
that a prophet hath no honour in his own country: all the Oriental versions read, "in his own city"; that is, Nazareth: for these words must not be understood as a reason why Christ left Judea, and went into Galilee, because he had no honour in Judea, in which was Bethlehem, the place of his nativity; but are a reason why, when he came into Galilee, he did not go to Nazareth, his own city, where he was educated, and had been brought up, and had lived the greatest part of his life, because they treated him with great disrespect and contempt; Matthew 13:57- :.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
For Jesus himself testified ... - See the notes at Matthew 13:57. The connection of this verse with the preceding may be thus explained: “Jesus went to Galilee, but not to Nazareth, for he testified,” etc. Or, “Jesus went to Galilee, ‘although’ he had said that a prophet had no honor in his own country; yet, because he foreknew that the Galileans would many of them believe on him, he went at this time.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 44. Jesus himself testified — He bore testimony to the general truth of the following proverb. Matthew 13:57; Matthew 13:57.
