Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and the Galilæans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
And a fame went out concerning him through all the region round about. And he taught in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe in the gospel."
Healing the Nobleman's Son.
He came therefore again unto Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judæa 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.
Jesus therefore said unto him, "Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe."
The nobleman saith unto him, "Sir, come down ere my child die."
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. And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying that his son lived. 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."
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.
