|So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

|

|So Jesus arrived once again in Cana of Galilee, the place where He made the water wine. There was, at this time, a government official in Capernaum whose son was sick.

|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.

|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.

|

|When the official heard that Jesus was arriving from Judea to Galilee, he sought Him out and begged Him to come to Capernaum and heal his son, because he was close to death.

|Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

|Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

|

|Then Jesus snapped at him, "Unless you people see miracles and signs, you will never believe."

|

|In sharp contrast to how Jesus spoke to his disciples, to Nicodemus, and to the Samaritan woman, He didn't say something "to" the official, but said it "toward" them, indicating that in some way, he was distancing himself from the man, possibly indicating irritation or frustration, or possibly as a test. Further, the "you will not believe" is the double negative, making it as strong as Jesus could make it.

|The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.

|The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.

|

|The nobleman responded to Him, "Sir, please come before my child dies."

|

|The official's words now indicate a very high degree of respect.

|Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.

|Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.

|

|Jesus said to him, "Go home. Your son lives." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and started for home.

|

|Jesus is now speaking directly TO the official as opposed to "toward" him, but his command could be interpreted "go away" rather than "go home" (the Greek is a command, but the tone is unclear). It is uncertain if He softened His words here or was simply speaking with His back turned to the man before, and now turned and spoke to him directly. Either way, it does not appear that the official took offense.

|And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, 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.

|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 he asked them the exact hour when he began to feel better, and they told him, "His fever broke yesterday, at about one pm."

|

|The text says "seventh hour" which is measured from sunrise. So this was seven hours after sunrise (which probably rose at or around 6 am) making this about 1 pm.
