wmth - John:4:43-54

wmth@John:4:43 @ After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee;

wmth@John:4:44 @ though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country.

wmth@John:4:45 @ When however He reached Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed Him eagerly, having been eye-witnesses of all that He had done in Jerusalem at the Festival; for they also had been to the Festival.

wmth@John:4:46 @ So He came once more to Cana in Galilee, where He had made the water into wine. Now there was a certain officer of the King's court whose son was ill at Capernaum.

wmth@John:4:47 @ Having heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee, he came to Him and begged Him to go down and cure his son; for he was at the point of death.

wmth@John:4:48 @ »Unless you and others see miracles and marvels,« said Jesus, »nothing will induce you to believe.«

wmth@John:4:49 @ »Sir,« pleaded the officer, »come down before my child dies.«

wmth@John:4:50 @ »You may return home,« replied Jesus; »your son has recovered.« He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;

wmth@John:4:51 @ and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.

wmth@John:4:52 @ So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. »Yesterday, about seven o'clock,« they replied, »the fever left him.«

wmth@John:4:53 @ Then the father recollected that that was the time at which Jesus had said to him, »Your son has recovered,« and he and his whole household became believers.

wmth@John:4:54 @ This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.
