44. Although He Himself declared that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
45. However, when He came into Galilee, the Galileans also welcomed Him and took Him to their hearts eagerly, for they had seen everything that He did in Jerusalem during the Feast; for they too had attended the Feast.
46. So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee, where He had turned the water into wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son was lying ill in Capernaum.
47. Having heard that Jesus had come back from Judea into Galilee, he went away to meet Him and began to beg Him to come down and cure his son, for he was lying at the point of death.
48. Then Jesus said to him, Unless you see signs and miracles happen, you [people] never will believe (trust, have faith) at all.
49. The king's officer pleaded with Him, Sir, do come down at once before my little child is dead!
50. Jesus answered him, Go in peace; your son will live! And the man put his trust in what Jesus said and started home.
51. But even as he was on the road going down, his servants met him and reported, saying, Your son lives!
52. So he asked them at what time he had begun to get better. They said, Yesterday during the seventh hour (about one o'clock in the afternoon) the fever left him.
53. Then the father knew that it was at that very hour when Jesus had said to him, Your son will live. And he and his entire household believed (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Jesus).
54. This is the second sign (wonderwork, miracle) that Jesus performed after He had come out of Judea into Galilee.
