How Jesus Healed the Nobleman's
Son
John
4:46-53
|
A
nobleman came one day to the town of Cana, looking for Jesus. He was in a
great hurry, for he had come a long way and he had left a very sick boy at
home. As soon as he found Jesus he began telling him about his son, and he
wanted Jesus to return with him to heal the child. But
Jesus said, "You will not believe that I can heal your son unless you
see some sign." The anxious father replied, "Sir, I am not
seeking for a sign. I am only begging you to come with me, for unless you
heal my boy he will surely die." Then
Jesus said, "It is not necessary for me to go with you. Return, for
your son lives." The
nobleman believed truly that his son would live, so he turned about and
started towards home. As he went on his way some servants from the house
came running to meet him. "Sir we bring good news to you," they
said. "Your son lives." "When
did he begin to recover?" asked the father. "Yesterday
about this hour the fever left him, and he began to improve, "they
replied. The
nobleman answered, "Yesterday about this hour I was talking with
Jesus. He told me that my son would live, and I believed his words. Now I
know that he has healed the lad." And
he believed then that Jesus is the Son of God.
