John 4:43-54

The Message Bible MSG

New International Version NIV

43 After the two days he left for Galilee.

44 Now, Jesus knew well from experience that a prophet is not respected in the place where he grew up.

44 (Now Jesus himself had pointed out that a prophet has no honor in his own country.)

45 So when he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, but only because they were impressed with what he had done in Jerusalem during the Passover Feast, not that they really had a clue about who he was or what he was up to.

45 When he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, for they also had been there.

46 Now he was back in Cana of Galilee, the place where he made the water into wine. Meanwhile in Capernaum, there was a certain official from the king's court whose son was sick.

46 Once more he visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum.

47 When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and asked that he come down and heal his son, who was on the brink of death.

47 When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death.

48 Jesus put him off: "Unless you people are dazzled by a miracle, you refuse to believe."

48 “Unless you people see signs and wonders,” Jesus told him, “you will never believe.”

49 But the court official wouldn't be put off. "Come down! It's life or death for my son."

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

50 Jesus simply replied, "Go home. Your son lives."

50 “Go,” Jesus replied, “your son will live.”The man took Jesus at his word and departed.

51 On his way back, his servants intercepted him and announced, "Your son lives!"

51 While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living.

52 He asked them what time he began to get better. They said, "The fever broke yesterday afternoon at one o'clock."

52 When he inquired as to the time when his son got better, they said to him, “Yesterday, at one in the afternoon, the fever left him.”

53 The father knew that that was the very moment Jesus had said, "Your son lives."

53 Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” So he and his whole household believed.

54 This was now the second sign Jesus gave after having come from Judea into Galilee.

54 This was the second sign Jesus performed after coming from Judea to Galilee.
