John 4:43–54

⁴³After ^dthe two days he departed for Galilee. ⁴⁴(For Jesus himself had testified ^ethat a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.) ⁴⁵So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, ^fhaving seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast. For ^gthey too had gone to the feast.

Jesus Heals an Official’s Son

⁴⁶So he came again to ^hCana in Galilee, ⁱwhere he had made the water wine. And at Capernaum there was an official whose son was ill. ⁴⁷When this man heard that Jesus ^jhad come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. ⁴⁸So Jesus said to him, ^k“Unless you³ see signs and wonders you will not believe.” ⁴⁹The official said to him, “Sir, come down ^lbefore my child dies.” ⁵⁰Jesus said to him, “Go; your son will live.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went on his way. ⁵¹As he was going down, his servants⁴ met him and told him that his son was recovering. ⁵²So he asked them the hour when he began to get better, and they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour⁵ the fever left him.” ⁵³The father knew that was the hour when Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” And he himself believed, ^mand all his household. ⁵⁴ⁿThis was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea to Galilee.
