Chapter VI

CHRIST IN GALILEE, CURING A NOBLEMAN'S SON.

1 [4:43]AND after two days he departed thence to Galilee. [4:44]For Jesus himself testified that a prophet is without honor in his native country. [4:45] When, therefore, he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all that he did at Jerusalem at the feast; for they also came to the feast. [4:46]Then he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine.

2 And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. [4:47] Hearing that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and desired him to come down and cure his son, for he was about to die. [4:48]Then Jesus said to him, Unless you see miracles and prodigies you will not believe. [4:49] The nobleman said to him, Lord, come down before my child dies. [4:50]Jesus said to him, Go; your son lives. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went. [4:51]And as he was now going down his servants met him, and told, saying, Your child lives. [4:52]Then he inquired of them the hour in which he became better. Then they said to him, The fever left him yesterday, at the seventh hour. [4:53]Then the father knew that it was in that hour in which Jesus said to him, Your son lives; and he believed, and all his house. [4:54] This second miracle did Jesus, having come from Judea into Galilee.
