After Jesus healed an official’s son, the official and his family believed that Jesus is the Messiah.

John 4:43-54

43-44 43-44Jesus had said previously that people did not honor prophets like himself when they tried to teach people in their own home area. So, two days later, Jesus and we disciples left that area and went to his own area in Galilee district, because he knew that people there would not think very highly of him, and as a result the Jewish leaders would not be jealous. 45 However, when we arrived in Galilee district, many of the people there welcomed him, because they had been in Jerusalem during the Passover celebration and had seen all the things he did there. 46 Jesus went again to Cana in Galilee district. That was where he previously turned water into wine. There was one of the king’s officials who lived in Capernaum, whose son was very sick. 47 When that man heard others say that Jesus had returned to Galilee district from Judea district, he went to Jesus in Cana and pleaded with him, “Please come down to Capernaum and heal my son, who is about to die!” 48 Jesus said to him, “You people will believe my message only if you see me perform more miracles!” 49 But the official said to him, “Sir, ◄I believe in you/I believe that you came from God►. So please come down to my home before my son dies!” 50 Jesus said to him, “Then you may go home. Your son ◄will live/not die►!” The man believed what Jesus said, and left. 51 The next day while he was on the way home, his servants met him. They told him, “Your child is going to live!” 52 He asked them, “At what time did my son start to become well?” They said to him, “His fever ceased yesterday afternoon at one o’clock.” 53 Then the boy’s father realized that this was the time Jesus told him, “Your son will ◄live/not die►.” So he and all the people in his house believed that Jesus was the Messiah.

54 That was the second miracle that Jesus performed in Galilee district, after he had returned from Judea district.
