Bible. John
004:046 So He came once more to Cana in Galilee, where He had made
the water into wine. Now there was a certain officer
of the King's court whose son was ill at Capernaum.
004:047 Having heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee,
he came to Him and begged Him to go down and cure his son;
for he was at the point of death.
004:048 "Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus,
"nothing will induce you to believe."
004:049 "Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."
004:050 "You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered."
He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;
004:051 and he was already on his way down when his servants met him
and told him that his son was alive and well.
004:052 So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement.
"Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied,
"the fever left him."
004:053 Then the father recollected that that was the time at
which Jesus had said to him, "Your son has recovered,"
and he and his whole household became believers.
004:054 This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming
from Judaea into Galilee.
005:001 After this there was a Festival of the Jews, and Jesus went
up to Jerusalem.
005:002 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool,
called in Hebrew `Bethesda.' It has five arcades.
005:003 In these there used to lie a great number of sick persons,
and of people who were blind or lame or paralyzed.
005:004 []
005:005 And there was one man there who had been an invalid
for thirty-eight years.
005:006 Jesus saw him lying there, and knowing that he had been a long
time in that condition, He asked him, "Do you wish to have
health and strength?"
005:007 "Sir," replied the sufferer, "I have no one to put me into
the pool when the water is moved; but while I am coming
some one else steps down before me."
005:008 "Rise," said Jesus, "take up your mat and walk."
005:009 Instantly the man was restored to perfect health, and he took
up his mat and began to walk.
005:010 That day was a Sabbath. So the Jews said to the man who had
been cured, "It is the Sabbath: you must not carry your mat."
005:011 "He who cured me," he replied, "said to me, `Take up your
mat and walk.'"
005:012 "Who is it," they asked, "that said to you, `Take up your
mat and walk'?"
005:013 But the man who had been cured did not know who it was;
for Jesus had passed out unnoticed, there being a crowd
in the place.
005:014 Afterwards Jesus found him in the Temple and said to him,
"You are now restored to health. Do not sin any more,
or a worse thing may befall you."
005:015 The man went and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had restored
him to health;
