John 4:39-53

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on John 4:39-53

39Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”
40So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days.
41And many more believed because of His message.
42They said to the woman, “We now believe not only because of your words; we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man truly is the Savior of the world.”
43After two days, Jesus left for Galilee.
44Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.
45Yet when He arrived, the Galileans welcomed Him. They had seen all the great things He had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they had gone there as well.
46So once again He came to Cana in Galilee, where He had turned the water into wine. And there was a royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum.
47When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged Him to come down and heal his son, who was about to die.
48Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”
49“Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.”
50“Go,” said Jesus. “Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at His word and departed.
51And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.
52So he inquired as to the hour when his son had recovered, and they told him, “The fever left him yesterday at the seventh hour.”
53Then the father realized that this was the very hour in which Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” And he and all his household believed.
