John 4:51-54

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - John 4:43-54

In these verses we have, I. Christ's coming into Galilee, John 4:43. Though he was as welcome among the Samaritans as he could be any where, and had better success, yet after two days he left them, not so much because they were Samaritans, and he would not confirm those in their prejudices against him who said, He is a Samaritan (John 8:48), but because he must preach to other cities, Luke 4:43. He went into Galilee, for there he spent much of his time. Now see here, 1. Whither Christ went;... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 4:46-54

4:46-54 So again he came to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water into wine. Now there was a certain courtier whose son was ill in Capernaum. When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judaea into Galilee, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, for he was going to die. Jesus said to him: "Unless you see signs and wonders you will never believe." The courtier said to him: "Sir, come down before my little lad dies." Jesus said to him: "Go your way! Your son lives!"... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 4:51

And as he was now going down ,.... From Cana to Capernaum, the day after he had been with Christ: his servants met him, and told him , saying, thy son liveth ; as soon as this cure was wrought, though it was not known in the family how, and by whom it was done, immediately some of the servants were dispatched to carry the news to their master, that his sorrow might be removed; and he give himself no further trouble in seeking for a cure: these meeting him on the road, with an air of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 4:52

Then inquired he of them the hour ,.... He did not at all hesitate about the truth of it, or was in any surprise upon it; but that he might compare things together, he asked the exact time, when he began to amend ; or grow better; for he seemed to think, that his recovery might be gradual, and not all at once, as it was: and they said unto him, yesterday at the seventh hour ; which was one o'clock in the afternoon: the fever left him ; entirely at once, so that he was perfectly... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 4:53

So the father knew that it was at the same hour ,.... Precisely; in that which Jesus said to him, thy son liveth : he had observed what time of day it was, in which he conversed with Jesus; and particularly, when he told him his son was alive and well, and when he took his leave of him; and by comparing the account of his servants, with that, found that things entirely agreed, and that the cure was wrought exactly at the time, that Jesus spoke the words: and himself believed, and his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 4:54

This is again the second miracle that Jesus did ,.... That is, in that place, in Cana of Galilee; for otherwise, in Jerusalem and Judea, he had done many miracles, between the former and this; see John 2:23 ; and so the following words explain it: when he was come out of Judea into Galilee ; this was the first he wrought, after his coming out of Judea into Galilee, this time, and was the second that he wrought in Cana of Galilee; see John 2:11 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 4:52

Then inquired he of them the hour - The servants, overjoyed to find their master's son so suddenly restored, set off to meet him, that they might impart to him tidings which they knew would be so very agreeable; and he, intent on having his faith settled, began immediately to inquire what time it was when the fever left him, to see whether his cure was the effect of some natural cause, or whether it was done by the power of Christ. Yesterday at the seventh hour - At the time we would... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 4:53

So the father knew - He had the fullest proof that his son's cure was supernatural, and that it was wrought by the Lord Jesus. Himself believed, and his whole house - He and his whole family became true converts to the doctrine of the manifested Messiah. The whole family, impressed with the great kindness of God in sending health to the child, were the more easily led to believe in the Lord Jesus. The sickness of the child became the mean of salvation to all the household. They, no... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 4:54

This - second miracle - The first miracle which Christ performed was in this same city of Cana, just after his baptism; and this second took place after his arrival here from Jerusalem, whence, we have seen, he was driven by the persecution raised against him by the scribes and Pharisees. By construing the word παλιν , again, with ελθων , he came, that confusion which is evident in the common version is entirely removed. Bishop Pearce says: "It seems probable to me that John, when he... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 4:51

Verse 51 51.While he was still going down. Here is described the effect of faith, together with the efficacy of the word; for as Christ, by a word, restores to life this child who was just dying, so in one moment the father, by his faith, regains his son safe and sound. Let us therefore know that, whenever the Lord offers his benefits to us, his power will always be ready to accomplish whatever he promises, provided that the door be not shut against him by our unbelief. It does not always... read more
