Johannes 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.

Johannes 4:51 In-Context

49 Der königliche Beamte spricht zu ihm: Herr, komm herab, ehe mein Kind stirbt!

50 Jesus spricht zu ihm: Gehe hin, dein Sohn lebt. Und der Mensch glaubte dem Worte, das Jesus zu ihm sagte, und ging hin.

51 Aber schon während er hinabging, begegneten ihm seine Knechte und berichteten, daß sein Knabe lebe.

52 Er erforschte nun von ihnen die Stunde, in welcher es besser mit ihm geworden sei; und sie sagten zu ihm: Gestern zur siebten Stunde verließ ihn das Fieber.

53 Da erkannte der Vater, daß es in jener Stunde war, in welcher Jesus zu ihm sagte: Dein Sohn lebt. Und er glaubte, er und sein ganzes Haus.
