Bible verse
“Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.”
John 4:49 · BSB
The verses around it, from John 4.
45 Yet 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.
46 So 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.
47 When 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.
48 Jesus 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.
51 And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.
52 So he inquired as to the hour when his son had recovered, and they told him, “The fever left him yesterday at the seventh hour.”
53 Then 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.
