The Nobleman’s Son Healed
Returning to Galilee, where “a prophet hath no honour in his own country,” Jesus is met at Cana by a royal official from Capernaum begging him to heal his dying son. Jesus heals at a distance, by word alone, and the father believes before he has any sign that the word was kept.
Note. This healing is preserved in John alone.

43Now after two days, he departed from there and went into Galilee, 44for Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country. 45Then when he had come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things which he had done at Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went unto the feast.
46So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. 47When he heard Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went unto him and implored him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. 48Then said Jesus unto him, Except you see signs and wonders, you will not believe. 49The nobleman said unto him, Sir, come down before my child die. 50Jesus said unto him, Go your way, your son lives. And the man believed the word which Jesus had spoken unto him and he went his way. 51And as he was now going down to his house, his servants met him and told him spoke, saying, Your son lives. 52Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him. 53So the father knew that it was at his son was healed in the same hour in which Jesus said unto him, Your son lives. And he believed, and his whole house, 54this being the second miracle which Jesus had done when he had come out of Judea into Galilee.
