| 4:47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. | | 47 Having heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he came and begged Him to go and cure his son; for he was at the point of death. | |
| 4:48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except all of you see signs and wonders, all of you will not believe. | | 48 Jesus said, "Unless you and others see signs and wonders, nothing will convince you to believe." | |
| 4:49 The nobleman says unto him, Sir, come down before my child die[s]. | | 49 "Sir," pleaded the official, "come, before my child dies." | K.J.V. "ere my child die." |
| 4:50 Jesus says unto him, Go your way; your son lives. And the man believed the word (o. logos) that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way. | | 50 "You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son is alive." The man believed the words of Jesus, and went back home; | |
| 4:51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Your son lives. | | 51 And he was well on his way down to Capernaum when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive. | |
| 4:52 Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. | | 52 So he inquired of them at what time the son had recovered. "Yesterday, about one o'clock," they replied, "the fever abated." | |
| 4:53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Your son lives: and himself believed, and his whole house. | Family [household] οικια (3614) | 53 Then the father knew that was the time when Jesus said, `Your son is alive,´ and he and his whole family became believers. | |
