Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
This pericope (John 4:46-54) constitutes the closing incident in John’s account of Jesus’ early public ministry (chs. 2-4). It shows Him returning to Cana, Nathanael’s hometown (John 21:2), where He performed another significant miracle. John evidently included it to show that Jesus’ demonstration of His authority resulted in some Jews believing on Him.
