John 4:46-53

46Jesus returned to the city of Cana in Galilee, where he had changed water into wine. A government official was in Cana. His son was sick in Capernaum.

47The official heard that Jesus had returned from Judea to Galilee. So he went to Jesus and asked him to go to Capernaum with him to heal his son who was about to die.

48Jesus told the official, “If people don’t see miracles and amazing things, they won’t believe.”

49The official said to him, “Sir, come with me before my little boy dies.”

50Jesus told him, “Go home. Your son will live.” The man believed what Jesus told him and left.

51While the official was on his way to Capernaum, his servants met him and told him that his boy was alive.

52The official asked them at what time his son got better. His servants told him, “The fever left him yesterday evening at seven o’clock.”

53Then the boy’s father realized that it was the same time that Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” So the official and his entire family became believers.
