for they also went to the festival day.

4:46. He came again therefore into Cana of Galilee, where he made the
water wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at
Capharnaum.

4:47. He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, sent
to him and prayed him to come down and heal his son: for he was at the
point of death.

4:48. Jesus therefore said to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you
believe not.

4:49. The ruler saith to him: Lord, come down before that my son die.

4:51. And as he was going down, his servants met him: and they brought
word, saying, that his son lived.

4:52. He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And
they said to him: Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.
