47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him, and urged Him to go down and heal his son. For he was about to die.
48 Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”
49 The ruler said to Him, “Sir, go down before my son dies.”
50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” And the man believed the Word that Jesus had spoken to him and went his way.
