004:044 though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country.
004:045 When however He reached Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed Him eagerly, having been eye-witnesses of all that He had done in Jerusalem at the Festival; for they also had been to the Festival.
004:046 So He came once more to Cana in Galilee, where He had made
the water into wine. Now there was a certain officer
of the King's court whose son was ill at Capernaum.
004:047 Having heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee,
he came to Him and begged Him to go down and cure his son;
for he was at the point of death.
004:048 "Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe."
004:049 "Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."
004:050 "You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered."
He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;
004:051 and he was already on his way down when his servants met him
and told him that his son was alive and well.
004:052 So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement.
"Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied,
"the fever left him."
004:053 Then the father recollected that that was the time at
which Jesus had said to him, "Your son has recovered,"
and he and his whole household became believers.
