Healing all manner of Sickness and Diseases.

He beals the Ruler's Son.

John NOW after two Days he departed thence, and iv.43. went into Galilee. For Jejus himself teftified, that a Prophet hath no Honour in his own Country. Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the Things that he did at Jerusalem at the Feast, for they also went unto the Feast. So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the Water Wine. And there was a certain NOBLEMAN, whose Son was fick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he went unto him, and befought him that he would come down and HEAL his Son: for he was at the Point of DEATH. Then said Jefus unto him, Except ye fee Signs and Wonders, ye will not BELIEVE. The Nobleman faith unto him, Sir, come down ere my Child die. Jefus faith unto him, Go thy way, thy Son liveth. And the Man BELIEVED the WORD that

that Jefus had spoken unto him, and he went his way. And as he was now going down, his Servants met him, and told him, faying, Thy Son liveth. Then inquired he of them the Hour when he began to amend: 'And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh Hour the FEVER left him. So the Father knew that it was at the fame HOUR, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy Son LIVETH; and himfelf BELIEVED, and his whole House. This is again the fecond Miracle that Jesus did when he was come out of Judea into Galilee.
