John 4:46Once more he visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum.John 4:47When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death.John 4:48“Unless you people see signs and wonders,” Jesus told him, “you will never believe.”John the official said, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”John 4:50“Go,” Jesus replied, “your son will live.” The man took Jesus at his word and departed.John 4:51While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living.John 4:52When he inquired as to the time when his son got better, they said to him, “Yesterday, at one in the afternoon, the fever left him.”John 4:53Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” So he and his whole household believed.John 4:54This was the second sign Jesus performed after coming from Judea to Galilee.
