John 4:43–54

⁴³After ^athe two days He went forth from there into Galilee.

⁴⁴For Jesus Himself testified that ^aa prophet has no honor in his own country.

⁴⁵So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, ^ahaving seen all the things that He did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they themselves also went to the feast.

Healing a Nobleman’s Son

⁴⁶Therefore He came again to ^aCana of Galilee ^bwhere He had made the water wine. And there was a royal official whose son was sick at ^cCapernaum.

⁴⁷When he heard that Jesus had come ^aout of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and was imploring Him to come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.

⁴⁸So Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see ^1asigns and wonders, you simply will not believe.”

⁴⁹The royal official said to Him, “¹Sir, come down before my child dies.”

⁵⁰Jesus said to him, “^aGo; your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and started off.

⁵¹As he was now going down, his slaves met him, saying that his ¹son was living.

⁵²So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. Then they said to him, “Yesterday at the ¹seventh hour the fever left him.”

⁵³So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives”; and he himself believed and ^ahis whole household.

⁵⁴This is again a ^asecond ¹sign that Jesus performed when He had ^bcome out of Judea into Galilee.
