John 4:46-53

46Therefore He came again to 1Cana of Galilee 2where He had made the water wine. And there was a royal official whose son was sick at 3Capernaum.

47When he heard that Jesus had come 4out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and was imploring Him to come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.

48So Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see 5 6signs and 7wonders, you simply will not believe.”

49The royal official said to Him, “8Sir, come down before my child dies.”

50Jesus said to him, “9Go; your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and started off.

51As he was now going down, his slaves met him, saying that his 10son was living.

52So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. Then they said to him, “Yesterday at the 11seventh hour the fever left him.”

53So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives”; and he himself believed and 12his whole household.
