§ 37. GENERAL ACCOUNT OF HIS TEACHING IN GALILEE

Mark 1:14-15Matt. 4:17Luke 4:14-15
14 [Now after that
John was delivered
up, Jesus came into
Galilee], preaching
the gospel of God,
15 and saying, The
time is fulfilled, and
the kingdom of God
is at hand: repent
ye, and believe in
the gospel. 		17 From that time
began Jesus to preach,
and to say, Repent
ye; for the kingdom
of heaven is at hand. 		14 [And Jesus returned
in the power of
[see [John 4:3], [43]] the
Spirit into Galilee]:
and a fame went out
concerning him
through all the region
round about. 15 And
he taught in their
synagogues, being
glorified of all.

In sections 38-43 (the Rejection at Nazareth and the New Home in Capernaum) Jesus revisits Cana and Nazareth, recalls the four fishermen by the Sea of Galilee, and begins his ministry of teaching and healing in Capernaum.

§ 38. THE HEALING AT CANA OF THE SON OF A COURTIER OF CAPERNAUM

John 4:46-54

46 He came therefore again unto Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain 1nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death. 48 Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe. 49 The 1nobleman saith unto him. 2Sir, come down ere my child die. 50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word that Jesus spake unto him, and he went his way. 51 And as he was now going down, his 3servants met him, saying, that his son lived. 52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to amend. They said therefore unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. 53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house. 54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
