The Man Believed
The Word That
Jesus Spoke To Him
Then he came again to Cana in Galilee where he had changed the water into wine.
Now there was a royal official whose son lay ill in Capernaum. When he heard
that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged him to come down
and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. Then Jesus said to him,
“Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe.” The official said to
him, “Sir, come down before my little boy dies.” Jesus said to him, “Go; your
son will live.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and started
on his way. As he was going down, his slaves met him and told him that his
child was alive. So he asked them the hour when he began to recover, and they
said to him, “Yesterday at one in the afternoon the fever left him.” The father
realized that this was the hour when Jesus had said to him, “Your son will
live.” So he himself believed, along with his whole household. Now this was the
second sign that Jesus did after coming from Judea to Galilee.
