he might come down, and cure his son: for he was at the point
of death. (48)Then said Jesus unto him, Unless ye see miracles and
wonders, ye will not believe. (49)The courtier said to him, Sir, come
down before my child is dead. (50)Jesus saith to him, Go home; thy son
liveth. And the man believed the word which Jesus had spoken, and went
home. (51)And as he was now going down home, his servants met him, and
told him, saying, Thy son is recovered! (52)Then inquired he of them
the hour at which he began to amend? and they told him, It was
yesterday, at the seventh hour, when the fever left him. (53)Then the
father knew that it was the very hour when Jesus said, Thy son liveth:
and himself believed, and his whole family. (54)This is again a second
miracle which Jesus did, when he came from Judea into Galilee.

AFTER these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to
Jerusalem. (2)Now there is at Jerusalem near the sheep-market a pool,
called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porticos. (3)In these
lay a vast multitude of infirm persons, blind, lame, withered, waiting

am coming, another goeth down before me. (8)Jesus saith to him, Arise,
take up thy bed, and walk. (9)And instantly the man was made whole, and
took up his bed, and walked away: and that day was the sabbath. (10)The
Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath: it is not
lawful for thee to carry thy bed. (11)He answered them, He that made me
whole, the same person said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk. (12)Then
they asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up thy bed, and
walk? (13)Now he that was cured knew not who he was: for Jesus had
slipped away, a crowd being on the spot.

(14)After these things Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto
him, Take care; thou art made whole: sin no more, lest something worse
