when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all
that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they too had gone to the
feast.
46 So he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the
water wine. And at Capernaum there was an official whose son was sick.
47 When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to
him and begged him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the
point of death. 48 Jesus said to him, "Unless you people see signs and
wonders, you will never believe." 49 The official said to him, "Sir, come
down before my child dies." 50 Jesus said to him, "Go; your son will
live." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went his
way. 51 As he was going down, his servants met him and told him that his
son was living. 52 So he inquired of them the hour when his son got
better, and they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left
him." 53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus
had said to him, "Your son will live." And he himself believed, and all his
household. 54 This was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had
come from Judea to Galilee.

1 After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to
Jerusalem. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which
is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these lay a
multitude of disabled people, blind, lame, paralyzed. 5 One man who was
there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him
lying there and knew that he had been in this condition for a long time, he
said to him, "Do you want to be made well?" 7 The sick man answered
him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred
up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me." 8 Jesus said to
him, "Rise, take up your bed, and walk." 9 And at once the man was
healed, and he took up his bed and walked.
Now that day was the Sabbath. 10 So the Jews said to the man
who was cured, "It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your
bed." 11 But he answered them, "The man who made me well said to me,
'Take up your bed, and walk.'" 12 They asked him, "Who is the man who
said to you, 'Take up your bed, and walk'?" 13 Now the man who had
been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there
was a crowd in that place. 14 Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple,
and said to him, "See, you are well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse
may happen to you." 15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was
Jesus who had made him well. 16 For this reason the Jews persecuted
Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath. 17 But Jesus
answered them, "My Father is working still, and I am working." 18
Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only
broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was his Father, making himself
equal with God.
