John 4:43–54
When the two days were over, he went from
that place to Galilee (for Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no
honour in the prophet's own country). When he came to Galilee, the Galileans
welcomed him, since they had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the
festival; for they too had gone to the festival. Then he came again to Cana in
Galilee where he had changed the water into wine. Now there was a royal
official whose son lay ill in Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus had come from
Judea to Galilee, he went and begged him to come down and heal his son, for he
was at the point of death. Then Jesus said to him, "Unless you see signs
and wonders you will not believe." The official said to him, "Sir,
come down before my little boy dies." Jesus said to him, "Go; your
son will live." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and
started on his way. As he was going down, his slaves met him and told him that
his child was alive. So he asked them the hour when he began to recover, and
they said to him, "Yesterday at one in the afternoon the fever left
him." The father realized that this was the hour when Jesus had said to
him, "Your son will live." So he himself believed, along with his
whole household. Now this was the second sign that Jesus did after coming from
Judea to Galilee. "
Reflection
Do I want to know God or do I want God to
deliver?
Have I always found time for God and to
live in his presence?
