John 4:45-54

⁴⁵However, when we arrived in Galilee district, many of the people there welcomed him, because they had been in Jerusalem during the Passover celebration and had seen all the things he did there.

⁴⁶Jesus went again to Cana in Galilee district. That was where he previously turned water into wine. There was one of the king's officials who lived in Capernaum, whose son was very sick.

⁴⁷When that man heard others say that Jesus had returned to Galilee district from Judea district, he went to Jesus in Cana and pleaded with him, “Please come down to Capernaum and heal my son, who is about to die!”

⁴⁸Jesus said to him, “You people will believe my message only if you see me perform more miracles!”

⁴⁹But the official said to him, “Sir, ◄ I believe in you/I believe that you came from God►. So please come down to my home before my son dies!”

⁵⁰Jesus said to him, “Then you may go home. Your son ◄will live/not die►!” The man believed what Jesus said, and left.

⁵¹The next day while he was on the way home, his servants met him. They told him, “Your child is going to live!”

⁵²He asked them, “At what time did my son start to become well?” They said to him, “His fever ceased yesterday afternoon at one o'clock.”

⁵³Then the boy's father realized that this was the time Jesus told him, “Your son will ◄live/not die►.” So he and all the people in his house believed that Jesus was the Messiah.

⁵⁴That was the second miracle that Jesus performed in Galilee district, after he had returned from Judea district.
