• Second Miracle in Cana
    The Watchtower—1986 | February 1

    • On this second occasion the child of a government official of King Herod Antipas is very sick. Hearing that Jesus has come from Judea to Cana, the official travels all the way from his home in Capernaum to find him. Grief-stricken, he urges: ‘Please come immediately before my child dies.’

      Jesus responds: ‘Go back home. Your son is healed!’ Herod’s official believes and starts on the long trip home. On the way he is met by his servants, who have hurried to tell him that all is well​—his son has recovered! ‘When did he get better?’ he asks.

      ‘Yesterday at 1:00 p.m.,’ they answer.

      The official realizes that this is the very hour when Jesus said, ‘Your son is healed!’ After that, the man and his entire household become disciples of Christ.
