John 4:41-54 ▼

41 And many more believed because of what he said.

42 They kept telling the woman, |It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, because now we have heard him ourselves, and we know that he really is the Savior of the world.|

43 Two days later, Jesus left for Galilee from there,

44 since Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

45 When he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him because they had seen everything that he had done in Jerusalem during the festival and because they, too, had gone to the festival.

46 So Jesus returned to Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. Meanwhile, in Capernaum there was a government official whose son was ill.

47 When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him repeatedly to come down and heal his son, because he was about to die.

48 Jesus told him, |Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.|

49 The official told him, |Sir, please come down before my little boy dies.|

50 Jesus told him, |Go home. Your son will live.| The man believed what Jesus told him and started back home.

51 While he was on his way, his servants met him and told him that his child was alive.

52 So he asked them at what hour he had begun to recover, and they told him, |The fever left him yesterday at one o'clock in the afternoon.|

53 Then the father realized that this was the very hour when Jesus had told him, |Your son will live.| So he himself believed, along with his whole family.

54 Now this was the second sign that Jesus did after coming from Judea to Galilee.
