Lesson 15: John 4:43-54
John 4:43-54
Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee. For Jesus himself
testified, that a prophet hath no honor in his own country. Then when he was
come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that
he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast. So Jesus
came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a
certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus was
come out of Judea 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. Then said Jesus
unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. The nobleman
saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. Jesus saith unto him, Go thy
way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto
him, and he went his way. And as he was now going down, his servants met him,
and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. Then enquired he of them the hour
when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour
the fever left him. So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in
the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his
whole house. This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when
he was come out of Judea into Galilee.
Background Information
Galilee was the region in which Jesus had grown up. We think of Him as Jesus of
Nazareth, which is correct. Nazareth was His boyhood hometown. Galilee was the
area in which Nazareth was located.
