John 4:39-49

39 Many of the Samaritans in that town believed in Jesus because the woman had said, "He told me everything I have ever done."
40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them, and Jesus stayed there two days.
41 Many more believed because of his message,
42 and they told the woman, "We believe now, not because of what you said, but because we ourselves have heard him, and we know that he really is the Savior of the world."
43 After spending two days there, Jesus left and went to Galilee.
44 For he himself had said, "Prophets are not respected in their own country." 1
45 When he arrived in Galilee, the people there welcomed him, because they had gone to the Passover Festival in Jerusalem and had seen everything that he had done during the festival. 2
46 Then Jesus went back to Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. A government official was there whose son was sick in Capernaum. 3
47 When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him to go to Capernaum and heal his son, who was about to die.
48 Jesus said to him, "None of you will ever believe unless you see miracles and wonders."
49 "Sir," replied the official, "come with me before my child dies."
