came again
into Cana
of Galilee,
where
he made the
water wine.
And there
was a certain
nobleman,
whose son
was sick at
Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he
went unto him, and besought him that he would
come down, and heal his son: for he was at the
point of death.
and wonders, ye will not believe. The nobleman
saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
And the man believed the word that Jesus had
spoken unto him, and he went his way."
John 4:46-50
This father had heard of the miracles that Jesus
had been doing. He left his dying son to come
looking for Him.
Jesus wasn't really pleased of the man's request
wanting Him to come and heal his son.
Not because He didn't want to heal the child but
because Jesus had to make clear the importance
that He was not a miracle-worker and that faith
was part of receiving.
So Jesus spoke the word of faith and the father
believed and went his way. He was calmed by
Jesus' words.
The next day while on his way home he was met
by his servants that told him that his son was
recovering. The father asked them when did he
start to amend and they said the same hour that
Jesus spoke the word. (John4:51-53)
