Jesus Heals an Official's Son

43 After two days, he departed from there [fn]and went to Galilee. 44 (For Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.) 45 When he came to Galilee, the Galileans received him because they had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also had gone to the feast.

46 Once more Jesus went to Cana of Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. Now there was a certain royal official whose son was sick in Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, for his son was about to die. 48 Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will certainly not believe.” 49 The royal official said to him, “Sir, come down before my boy dies.” 50 Jesus said to him, “Go; yoʋr son will live.” And the man believed what Jesus said to him and went on his way. 51 As he was going back down to his house, his servants met him and told [fn]him, “Yoʋr son is alive.” 52 So he asked them what hour he began to get better. They said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.” 53 Then the father realized that this was the hour when Jesus had said to him, “Yoʋr son will live.” So he believed, along with his entire household. 54 This was the second sign that Jesus did after coming from Judea to Galilee.
