4:43

After the two days he left for Galilee .

4:44

(Now Jesus himself had pointed out that a prophet has no honor in his own country.)

4:45

When he arrived in Galilee , the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, for they also had been there.

4:46

Once more he visited Cana in Galilee , where he had turned the water into wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum .

4:47

When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea , he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death.

4:48

"Unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders," Jesus told him, "you will never believe."

4:49

The royal official said, "Sir, come down before my child dies."

4:50

Jesus replied, "You may go. Your son will live." The man took Jesus at his word and departed.

4:51

While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living.

4:52

When he inquired as to the time when his son got better, they said to him, "The fever left him yesterday at the seventh hour."

4:53

Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live." So he and all his household believed.

4:54

This was the second miraculous sign that Jesus performed, having come from Judea to Galilee .
