Where was he when he performed this miracle?

Matthew and Luke: In Capernaum ([Matt. viii, 5]; [Luke vii, 1]).

John: In Cana ([iv, 46]).

According to Matthew and Luke, Jesus was in Capernaum while the patient lived elsewhere; according to John, Jesus was in Cana while the patient lived in Capernaum. John says he was a nobleman’s son, but all critics (as well as the Archbishop of York, in his “Harmony of the Gospels”) agree that he refers to the same miracle.
