19 Another Miracle

John 4:43-54; Matthew 4:23-25, TBC Book Two, Chapter 19
News spread quickly that the rabbi who did miracles was returning to Galilee. Even the Samaritans were talking about him. On his way he spent two days teaching the Samaritans, something no other Jewish rabbi would have done.

The Galilean Jews were familiar with Jesus since he was a child. To them he was just the carpenter’s boy, the son of Joseph. But people were saying he had turned water into wine at a wedding. So they wanted to see for themselves what Jesus could do.

Once more Jesus visited Cana, where he had attended the wedding. A royal official in nearby Capernaum heard he was there, and immediately he set out to find Jesus. He was desperate, for his son lay deathly ill. 

Upon finding Jesus, he dropped to his knees and pleaded for help.

“Please, come with me,” the man begged. “My son is terribly ill. I’m afraid he will die.”

Jesus knew many people were watching him, hoping they could see him perform another miracle. But he did not rise to go. . . .
