John 4:43-54
Jesus Heals the Official's Son
After the two days he
went out from there and went into Galilee. For Jesus himself testified that
a prophet has no honor in his own country. So when he came into Galilee, the
Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in
Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast. Jesus came therefore again to
Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain
nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus had come
out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and begged him that he would
come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. Jesus therefore said to him,
"Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way
believe."
The nobleman said to
him, "Sir, come down before my child dies." Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your son lives." The man believed
the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way. As he was now going down, his
servants met him and reported, saying "Your child lives!"
So he inquired of them
the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him,
"Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left
him." So the father
knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives." He believed, as did his whole
house. This is again the
second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
