Jean 4:51 Meaning and Commentary

John 4:51

And as he was now going down
From Cana to Capernaum, the day after he had been with Christ:

his servants met him, and told [him], saying, thy son liveth;
as soon as this cure was wrought, though it was not known in the family how, and by whom it was done, immediately some of the servants were dispatched to carry the news to their master, that his sorrow might be removed; and he give himself no further trouble in seeking for a cure: these meeting him on the road, with an air of pleasure, at once address him with the joyful news, that his son was thoroughly recovered of his disorder, and was alive, and well; news which he was acquainted with, and believed before; though it must give him an additional, pleasure to have it confirmed.

Jean 4:51 In-Context

49 L'officier du roi lui dit: Seigneur, descends avant que mon enfant meure.

50 Va, lui dit Jésus, ton fils vit. Et cet homme crut à la parole que Jésus lui avait dite, et il s'en alla.

51 Comme déjà il descendait, ses serviteurs venant à sa rencontre, lui apportèrent cette nouvelle: Ton enfant vit.

52 Il leur demanda à quelle heure il s'était trouvé mieux; et ils lui dirent: Hier, à la septième heure, la fièvre l'a quitté.

53 Le père reconnut que c'était à cette heure-là que Jésus lui avait dit: Ton fils vit. Et il crut, lui et toute sa maison.
