John 4:52

52 So he asked them at what time he had gotten better; and they said, "The fever left him yesterday at one o'clock in the afternoon."

John 4:52 Meaning and Commentary

John 4:52

Then inquired he of them the hour
He did not at all hesitate about the truth of it, or was in any surprise upon it; but that he might compare things together, he asked the exact time,

when he began to amend;
or grow better; for he seemed to think, that his recovery might be gradual, and not all at once, as it was:

and they said unto him, yesterday at the seventh hour;
which was one o'clock in the afternoon:

the fever left him;
entirely at once, so that he was perfectly well immediately.

John 4:52 In-Context

50 Yeshua replied, "You may go, your son is alive." The man believed what Yeshua said and left.

51 As he was going down, his servants met him with the news that his son was alive

52 So he asked them at what time he had gotten better; and they said, "The fever left him yesterday at one o'clock in the afternoon."

53 The father knew that that was the very hour when Yeshua had told him, "Your son is alive"; and he and all his household trusted.

54 This was a second sign that Yeshua did; he did it after he had come from Y'hudah into the Galil.
