Jesus Healed The Official's Son

Jesus Healed The Official's Son is one of the recorded miracles in which Jesus saved children from sickness.  Jesus loved children and would bless them whenever parents brought them to Him.

Children must pray to the Lord and ask Him to heal them when they are sick because He wants them to be well.

Jesus had been in Samaria but He departed from there and went to Galilee.  When He came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed Him

because they had seen all the things Jesus had done in Jerusalem at the feast.

When Jesus came to Galilee, He went to a place called Cana.  The Lord must have traveled quite a long distance!

  Cana was the place where the Lord had turned the water into wine.

When Jesus got to Cana, a certain royal official from Capernaum came looking for Him. The man was desperate because his son was sick and dying.

When he heard that Jesus had come back from Judea to Galilee, the royal official went to see Him. He begged Jesus to come down to Capernaum and heal his son.

So Jesus said to him, ‘Unless you people see signs and wonders you

will never believe!’

‘Sir,’ the official said to him, ‘come down before my child dies.’  Jesus told him, ‘Go home. Your son will live.’

How do you think Jesus felt on hearing that a child lay dying from a sickness?

The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and set off for

home. While he was on his way to Capernaum, his servants met him and told him that his son was going to live.

So the official asked the servants the time that his son's condition began to improve. The servants replied that the fever left his son at noon, which was the seventh hour of the day in bible times.

The father was amazed!  Noon was the very time that Jesus had said to him, ‘Your son will live.’  The official and all of his household believed in Jesus and worshiped Him as the Son of God. 

Jesus did this as His second miraculous sign when He returned from

Judea to Galilee.

Jesus Healed The Official's Son scriptures - JOHN 4

43 After the two days He went forth from there into Galilee.

44 For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

45 So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all the things that He did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they themselves also went to the feast.

46 Therefore He came again to Cana of Galilee where He had made the water wine. And there was a royal official whose son was sick at Capernaum.

47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and was imploring Him to come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.

48 So Jesus said to him, ``Unless you people see signs and wonders, you simply will not believe."

49 The royal official said to Him, ``Sir, come down before my child dies."

50 Jesus said to him, ``Go; your son lives." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and started off.

51 As he was now going down, his slaves met him, saying that his son was living.

52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. Then they said to him, ``Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."

53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, ``Your son lives"; and he himself believed and his whole household.
