John 4:39-49 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

39. Now from that town many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me everything that I have done.”

40. So when the Samaritans came to him, they began asking him to stay with them. And he stayed there two days.

41. And many more believed because of his word,

42. And they were saying to the woman, “No longer because of what you said do we believe, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this one is truly the Savior of the world!”

43. And after the two days he departed from there into Galilee.

44. For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own homeland.

45. So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, because they had seen all the things he had done in Jerusalem at the feast (for they themselves had also come to the feast).

46. Now he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was at Capernaum a certain royal official whose son was sick.

47. This man, when he heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, went to him and asked that he come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.

48. So Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe!”

49. The royal official said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies!”
