约翰福音 4
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
生命的活水
4 主知道法利赛人听见他收门徒和施洗比约翰更多（ 2 其实不是耶稣亲自施洗，而是他的门徒施洗）， 3 就离开了犹太，再往加利利去。 4 他必须经过撒玛利亚。 5 于是到了撒玛利亚的一座城，名叫叙加；这城靠近雅各给他儿子约瑟的那块地。 6 在那里有雅各井。耶稣因为旅途疲倦了，就坐在井旁；那时大约正午。
7 有一个撒玛利亚妇人来打水。耶稣对她说：“请给我水喝。” 8 那时，他的门徒都进城买食物去了。 9 撒玛利亚妇人对耶稣说：“你是犹太人，怎么向我，一个撒玛利亚妇人要水喝呢？”（原来犹太人和撒玛利亚人不相往来。） 10 耶稣回答她：“你若知道 神的恩赐，和对你说‘请给我水喝’的是谁，你必早已求他，他也必早把活水赐给你了。” 11 妇人说：“先生，你没有打水的器具，井又深，你从哪里得活水呢？ 12 我们的祖先雅各把这口井留给我们，他自己和子孙以及牲畜都喝这井的水，难道你比他还大吗？” 13 耶稣回答：“凡喝这水的，还要再渴； 14 人若喝我所赐的水，就永远不渴。我所赐的水要在他里面成为涌流的泉源，直涌到永生。” 15 妇人说：“先生，请把这水赐给我，使我不渴，也不用来这里打水。”
必须用心灵按真理敬拜 神
16 耶稣说：“你去，叫你的丈夫，然后回到这里来。” 17 妇人对他说：“我没有丈夫。”耶稣说：“你说‘没有丈夫’是不错的。 18 你以前有五个丈夫，现在有的并不是你的丈夫；你说这话是真的。” 19 妇人说：“先生，我看出你是先知。 20 我们的祖先在这山上敬拜 神，而你们却说，敬拜的地方必须在耶路撒冷。” 21 耶稣说：“妇人，你应当信我，时候将到，那时你们敬拜父，不在这山上，也不在耶路撒冷。 22 你们敬拜你们所不知道的，我们却敬拜我们所知道的，因为救恩是从犹太人出来的。 23 然而时候将到，现在就是了，那用心灵按真理敬拜父的，才是真正敬拜的人；因为父在寻找这样敬拜他的人。 24 神是灵，敬拜他的必须借着灵按真理敬拜他。” 25 妇人说：“我知道那称为基督的弥赛亚要来；他来了，要把一切都告诉我们。” 26 耶稣说：“我这现在跟你说话的就是他。”
27 正在这时候，门徒回来了，见耶稣和一个妇人说话，就很希奇；但是没有人问：“你要甚么？”或说：“你为甚么跟她说话？” 28 那妇人撇下了她的水罐，进到城里去，对众人说： 29 “你们来，看看一个人，他把我所作的一切都说出来，难道这人就是基督吗？” 30 众人就出城，往耶稣那里去。
庄稼已经熟了
31 当时，门徒对耶稣说：“拉比，请吃。” 32 耶稣说：“我有食物吃，是你们所不知道的。” 33 门徒就彼此说：“难道有人拿东西给他吃了吗？” 34 耶稣说：“我的食物就是遵行差我来者的旨意，并且完成他的工作。 35 你们不是说‘还有四个月才到收获的时候’吗？我告诉你们，举目向田观看，庄稼已经熟了，可以收割了。 36 收割的人得到工资，也积储五谷直到永生，使撒种的和收割的一同快乐。 37 ‘这人撒种，那人收割’，这话是真的。 38 我派你们去收割你们所没有劳苦的；别人劳苦，你们却享受他们劳苦的成果。”
39 因着那妇人作见证的话：“他把我所作的一切都说出来了”，那城里就有许多撒玛利亚人信了耶稣。 40 于是他们来到耶稣那里，求他和他们同住，耶稣就在那里住了两天。 41 因着耶稣的话，信他的人就更多了。 42 他们就对那妇人说：“现在我们信，不再是因为你的话，而是因为我们亲自听见了，知道这位真是世人的救主。”
治好大臣的儿子
43 两天之后，耶稣离开那里，往加利利去。 44 耶稣自己说过：“先知在本乡是不受尊敬的。” 45 耶稣到了加利利的时候，加利利人都欢迎他，因为他们曾经上耶路撒冷去过节，见过他所行的一切。
46 耶稣又到了加利利的迦拿，就是他变水为酒的地方。有一个大臣，他的儿子在迦百农患病。 47 他听见耶稣从犹太到了加利利，就来见他，求他下去医治他的儿子，因为他的儿子快要死了。 48 耶稣对他说：“你们若看不见神迹奇事，总是不肯信。” 49 大臣说：“先生，求你趁我的孩子还没有死就下去吧！” 50 耶稣告诉他：“回去吧，你的儿子好了。”那人信耶稣对他说的话，就回去了。 51 正下去的时候，他的仆人迎着他走来，说他的孩子好了。 52 他就向仆人查问孩子是甚么时候好转的。他们告诉他：“昨天下午一点钟，热就退了。” 53 这父亲就知道，那正是耶稣告诉他“你的儿子好了”的时候，他自己和全家就信了。 54 这是耶稣从犹太回到加利利以后所行的第二件神迹。

ژنێکی سامیری
4 فەریسییەکان بیستیان کە عیسا لە یەحیا زیاتر قوتابی دروستکردووە و لە ئاو هەڵکێشاوە، 2 هەرچەندە عیسا خۆی خەڵکی لە ئاو هەڵنەدەکێشا، بەڵکو قوتابییەکانی. 3 کاتێک عیسا ئەمەی زانی[a] یەهودیای بەجێهێشت و گەڕایەوە جەلیل.
4 جا دەبووایە بە ناوچەی سامیرەدا تێبپەڕێت، 5 گەیشتە شارۆچکەیەکی سامیرە کە ناوی سوخار بوو، نزیک ئەو پارچە زەوییەی یاقوب دابوویە یوسفی کوڕی. 6 بیری یاقوبیش لەوێ بوو. جا عیسا لە گەشتەکە ماندوو بوو، لەلای بیرەکە دانیشت، نزیکەی کاتژمێر دوازدە[b] بوو.
7 ژنێکی سامیرەیی هات بۆ ئەوەی ئاو ببات، عیسا پێی فەرموو: «هەندێک ئاوم بدەرێ.» 8 لەو کاتەدا قوتابییەکانی چووبوونە ناو شار تاکو خواردن بکڕن.
9 جا ژنە سامیرەییەکە پێی گوت: «تۆ جولەکەیت و منیش ژنێکی سامیرەییم، چۆن داوای ئاوم لێ دەکەیت؟» چونکە جولەکەکان تێکەڵی سامیرەییەکان نابن.
10 عیساش وەڵامی دایەوە: «ئەگەر بەخشینی خودات بزانیایە و هەروەها ئەوەش کێیە کە پێت دەڵێت ”ئاوم بدەرێ،“ ئەوسا تۆ داوات لێ دەکرد و ئەویش ئاوی ژیانی پێدەدایت.»
11 ژنەکە پێی گوت: «بەڵام گەورەم، دۆلکەت پێنییە و بیرەکەش قووڵە. ئیتر تۆ ئاوی ژیانت لەکوێ بوو؟ 12 خۆ لە یاقوبی باوکمان گەورەتر نیت کە بیرەکەی پێداوین، خۆی و کوڕەکانی و ماڵاتەکانیشی لێیان خواردووەتەوە؟»
13 عیسا وەڵامی دایەوە: «هەرکەسێک لەم ئاوە بخواتەوە جارێکی دیکە تینووی دەبێتەوە. 14 بەڵام ئەوەی لەو ئاوە بخواتەوە کە من دەیدەمێ، هەرگیز تینووی نابێت، بەڵکو ئەو ئاوەی من دەیدەمێ تێیدا دەبێتە کانیاوێک و هەڵدەقوڵێت، ژیانی هەتاهەتایی دەبەخشێ.»
15 ژنەکەش پێی گوت: «گەورەم، ئەو ئاوەم بدەرێ تاکو تینوو نەبم و نەیەمەوە ئێرە بۆ ئاوکێشان.» 16 عیسا پێی فەرموو: «بڕۆ، مێردەکەت بانگ بکە و وەرەوە ئێرە.»
17 ژنەکە وەڵامی دایەوە: «مێردم نییە.» عیساش پێی فەرموو: «ڕاست دەکەیت کە دەڵێی مێردم نییە. 18 لە ڕاستیدا پێنج مێردت هەبوو، ئێستاش ئەوەی هەتە مێردت نییە. ئەمەشت بە ڕاستی گوت.»
19 ژنەکە پێی گوت: «گەورەم، دەبینم تۆ پێغەمبەریت. 20 باوباپیرانمان لەم شاخەدا خودایان پەرستووە، بەڵام ئێوە دەڵێن ئۆرشەلیم[c] ئەو شوێنەیە کە پێویستە پەرستنی لێ بکرێت.»
21 عیسا پێی فەرموو: «خانم، باوەڕم پێ بکە، کاتێک دێت ئێوە باوک دەپەرستن، بەڵام نە لەسەر ئەم شاخە و نە لە ئۆرشەلیم. 22 ئەوەی ئێوە دەیپەرستن نایناسن، بەڵام ئەوەی ئێمە دەیپەرستین دەیناسین، چونکە ڕزگاری لە جولەکەوەیە. 23 بەڵام کاتێک دێت ئەویش کە ئێستایە خواپەرستە ڕاستەقینەکان بە ڕۆحی پیرۆز و ڕاستی باوک دەپەرستن، چونکە باوک داوای ئەم جۆرە خواپەرستانە دەکات. 24 خودا ڕۆحە و پێویستە ئەوانەی دەیپەرستن بە ڕۆحی پیرۆز و ڕاستی بیپەرستن.»
25 ژنەکە پێی گوت: «دەزانم مەسیا دێت، کە پێی دەگوترێ مەسیح، کە ئەو هات هەموو شتێکمان پێ ڕادەگەیەنێت.»
26 عیساش پێی فەرموو: «من ئەوم، ئەوەی قسەت لەگەڵ دەکات.»
27 لەو کاتەدا قوتابییەکانی گەیشتن، سەرسام بوون کە لەگەڵ ژنێک قسە دەکات. بەڵام کەس نەیگوت: «چیت دەوێت؟» یان «بۆچی قسەی لەگەڵ دەکەیت؟»
28 ئینجا ژنەکە گۆزەکەی بەجێهێشت، چووە ناو شار و بە خەڵکی گوت: 29 «وەرن کەسێک ببینن هەرچییەکم کردووە پێی گوتم! دەبێ مەسیح نەبێت؟» 30 ئیتر خەڵکەکە لە شار هاتنە دەرەوە و چوونە لای.
31 لەو کاتەدا قوتابییەکان تکایان لێی دەکرد: «ڕابی، بخۆ!»
32 بەڵام پێی فەرموون: «خواردنێکم هەیە بیخۆم، کە ئێوە نایزانن.»
33 لەبەر ئەوە قوتابییەکان بە یەکتریان دەگوت: «کەس هیچی بۆ هێناوە بیخوات؟»
34 عیساش پێی فەرموون: «خواردنی من ئەوەیە بە خواستی ئەوە بکەم کە ناردوومی و کارەکەی تەواو بکەم. 35 ئەی ئێوە ناڵێن: ”پاش چوار مانگ کاتی دروێنە دێت“؟ ئەوەتا پێتان دەڵێم: چاوتان هەڵبڕن و سەیری کێڵگەکان بکەن وا زەرد هەڵگەڕاون بۆ دروێنە. 36 سەپانیش کرێ وەردەگرێت و بۆ ژیانی هەتاهەتایی بەرهەم کۆدەکاتەوە، تاکو تۆوچێن و سەپان پێکەوە دڵشاد بن. 37 لەبەر ئەوە ئەو پەندە ڕاستە کە دەڵێت: ”یەکێک تۆو دەکات و یەکێکی دیکە دروێنە دەکات.“ 38 من ئێوەم بۆ دروێنەیەک ناردووە کە پێوەی ماندوو نەبوون. کەسانی دیکە پێوەی ماندوو بوون و ئێوە بەرهەمی ماندووبوونیان دەخۆن.»
39 زۆر لە سامیرەییەکانی ئەو شارە باوەڕیان بە عیسا هێنا، لەبەر قسەی ئەو ژنەی کە شایەتی دەدا: «هەرچییەکم کردووە پێی فەرمووم.» 40 لەبەر ئەوە کاتێک سامیرەییەکان هاتنە لای عیسا، تکایان لێکرد لەلایان بمێنێتەوە، ئەویش دوو ڕۆژ لەوێ مایەوە. 41 ژمارەیەکی زۆر زیاتریش بەهۆی قسەکانییەوە باوەڕیان هێنا و 42 بە ژنەکەیان دەگوت: «چیتر بەهۆی قسەی تۆوە نییە کە ئێمە باوەڕ دەهێنین، چونکە خۆمان بیستمان و دەزانین کە ئەم پیاوە بەڕاستی ڕزگارکەری جیهانە!»
چاککردنەوە بە وشە
43 پاش ئەو دوو ڕۆژە عیسا ئەوێی بەجێهێشت و چوو بۆ جەلیل، 44 چونکە عیسا خۆی شایەتی دا کە پێغەمبەر لە شاری خۆی ڕێزی لێ ناگیرێت. 45 لەبەر ئەوە کاتێک هاتە جەلیل، جەلیلییەکان پێشوازییان لێی کرد، چونکە ئەوانیش بۆ جەژن هاتبوون و هەموو ئەو شتانەیان بینیبوو کە لە جەژندا[d] لە ئۆرشەلیم کردبووی.
46 هاتەوە شارۆچکەی قانا لە ناوچەی جەلیل کە لەوێ ئاوی کردبووە شەراب، کاربەدەستێکی پاشا هەبوو، کوڕەکەی لە کەفەرناحوم نەخۆش بوو. 47 کاتێک ئەو بیستی عیسا لە یەهودیاوە هاتووەتە جەلیل، چووە لای و لێی پاڕایەوە کە بێت بۆ ئەوەی کوڕەکەی چاک بکاتەوە، چونکە نزیکی مردن بوو.
48 ئینجا عیسا پێی فەرموو: «ئەگەر ئێوە پەرجوو و کاری سەرسوڕهێنەر نەبینن هەرگیز باوەڕ ناهێنن.»
49 کاربەدەستەکەش پێی گوت: «گەورەم، پێش ئەوەی کوڕەکەم بمرێت، وەرە.»
50 عیسا پێی فەرموو: «بڕۆ! کوڕەکەت دەژیێت.» پیاوەکە باوەڕی بەو قسەیە کرد کە عیسا پێی فەرموو و ڕۆیشت. 51 کە بە ڕێگاوە بوو کۆیلەکانی تووشی بوون و دەیانگوت کە کوڕەکەی زیندووە، 52 جا سەبارەت بەو کاتژمێرەی تێیدا چاکتر ببووەوە پرسیاری لێکردن، وەڵامیان دایەوە: «دوێنێ کاتژمێر یەکی[e] پاش نیوەڕۆ تایەکە بەریدا.»
53 باوکەکە زانی لەو کاتژمێرە بوو کە عیسا پێی فەرموو: «کوڕەکەت دەژیێت.» ئەوسا خۆی و خاووخێزانی هەموو باوەڕیان هێنا.
54 ئەمەش دووەم پەرجوو بوو کە عیسا کردی، کە لە یەهودیاوە هاتە جەلیل.

John 4
King James Version
4 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
3 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
4 And he must needs go through Samaria.
5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
41 And many more believed because of his own word;
42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
43 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.
52 Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.
54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
John 4
Common English Bible
Jesus leaves Judea
4 Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was making more disciples and baptizing more than John (2 although Jesus’ disciples were baptizing, not Jesus himself). 3 Therefore, he left Judea and went back to Galilee.
Jesus in Samaria
4 Jesus had to go through Samaria. 5 He came to a Samaritan city called Sychar, which was near the land Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus was tired from his journey, so he sat down at the well. It was about noon.
7 A Samaritan woman came to the well to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me some water to drink.” 8 His disciples had gone into the city to buy him some food.
9 The Samaritan woman asked, “Why do you, a Jewish man, ask for something to drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (Jews and Samaritans didn’t associate with each other.)
10 Jesus responded, “If you recognized God’s gift and who is saying to you, ‘Give me some water to drink,’ you would be asking him and he would give you living water.”
11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you don’t have a bucket and the well is deep. Where would you get this living water? 12 You aren’t greater than our father Jacob, are you? He gave this well to us, and he drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.”
13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks from the water that I will give will never be thirsty again. The water that I give will become in those who drink it a spring of water that bubbles up into eternal life.”
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I will never be thirsty and will never need to come here to draw water!”
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, get your husband, and come back here.”
17 The woman replied, “I don’t have a husband.”
“You are right to say, ‘I don’t have a husband,’” Jesus answered. 18 “You’ve had five husbands, and the man you are with now isn’t your husband. You’ve spoken the truth.”
19 The woman said, “Sir, I see that you are a prophet. 20 Our ancestors worshipped on this mountain, but you and your people say that it is necessary to worship in Jerusalem.”
21 Jesus said to her, “Believe me, woman, the time is coming when you and your people will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You and your people worship what you don’t know; we worship what we know because salvation is from the Jews. 23 But the time is coming—and is here!—when true worshippers will worship in spirit and truth. The Father looks for those who worship him this way. 24 God is spirit, and it is necessary to worship God in spirit and truth.”
25 The woman said, “I know that the Messiah is coming, the one who is called the Christ. When he comes, he will teach everything to us.”
26 Jesus said to her, “I Am—the one who speaks with you.”[a]
27 Just then, Jesus’ disciples arrived and were shocked that he was talking with a woman. But no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?” 28 The woman put down her water jar and went into the city. She said to the people, 29 “Come and see a man who has told me everything I’ve done! Could this man be the Christ?” 30 They left the city and were on their way to see Jesus.
31 In the meantime the disciples spoke to Jesus, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
32 Jesus said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
33 The disciples asked each other, “Has someone brought him food?”
34 Jesus said to them, “I am fed by doing the will of the one who sent me and by completing his work. 35 Don’t you have a saying, ‘Four more months and then it’s time for harvest’? Look, I tell you: open your eyes and notice that the fields are already ripe for the harvest. 36 Those who harvest are receiving their pay and gathering fruit for eternal life so that those who sow and those who harvest can celebrate together. 37 This is a true saying, that one sows and another harvests. 38 I have sent you to harvest what you didn’t work hard for; others worked hard, and you will share in their hard work.”
39 Many Samaritans in that city believed in Jesus because of the woman’s word when she testified, “He told me everything I’ve ever done.” 40 So when the Samaritans came to Jesus, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days. 41 Many more believed because of his word, 42 and they said to the woman, “We no longer believe because of what you said, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this one is truly the savior of the world.”
Jesus arrives in Galilee
43 After two days Jesus left for Galilee. (44 Jesus himself had testified that prophets have no honor in their own country.) 45 When he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him because they had seen all the things he had done in Jerusalem during the festival, for they also had been at the festival.
Jesus’ second miraculous sign in Galilee
46 He returned to Cana in Galilee where he had turned the water into wine. In Capernaum there was a certain royal official whose son was sick. 47 When he heard that Jesus was coming from Judea to Galilee, he went out to meet him and asked Jesus if he would come and heal his son, for his son was about to die. 48 Jesus said to him, “Unless you see miraculous signs and wonders, you won’t believe.”
49 The royal official said to him, “Lord, come before my son dies.”
50 Jesus replied, “Go home. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and set out for his home.
51 While he was on his way, his servants were already coming to meet him. They said, “Your son lives!” 52 So he asked them at what time his son had started to get better. And they said, “The fever left him yesterday at about one o’clock in the afternoon.” 53 Then the father realized that this was the hour when Jesus had said to him, “Your son lives.” And he and his entire household believed in Jesus. 54 This was the second miraculous sign Jesus did while going from Judea to Galilee.
