John 4:46-54

Living Bible

^46-47 In the course of his journey through Galilee he arrived at the town of Cana, where he had turned the water into wine. While he was there, a man in the city of Capernaum, a government official, whose son was very sick, heard that Jesus had come from Judea and was traveling in Galilee. This man went over to Cana, found Jesus, and begged him to come to Capernaum with him and heal his son, who was now at death’s door.

⁴⁸ Jesus asked, “Won’t any of you believe in me unless I do more and more miracles?”

⁴⁹ The official pled, “Sir, please come now before my child dies.”

⁵⁰ Then Jesus told him, “Go back home. Your son is healed!” And the man believed Jesus and started home. ⁵¹ While he was on his way, some of his servants met him with the news that all was well—his son had recovered. ⁵² He asked them when the lad had begun to feel better, and they replied, “Yesterday afternoon at about one o’clock his fever suddenly disappeared!” ⁵³ Then the father realized it was the same moment that Jesus had told him, “Your son is healed.” And the officer and his entire household believed that Jesus was the Messiah.

⁵⁴ This was Jesus’ second miracle in Galilee after coming from Judea.
