NASB | John 4:54 This is again a second sign that Jesus performed when He had come out of Judea into Galilee. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 4:54 This is the second sign (attesting miracle) that Jesus performed [in Cana] after He had come from Judea to Galilee [revealing that He is the Messiah]. |
Bible Question: I apologize for not providing more context with my first version of this question. John 4:54 refers to the healing of the royal official's son, which is stated to be the "second sign that Jesus performed when He had come out of Judea into Galilee." Although it was the second sign in Galilee, it was not the second sign of Jesus' ministry, based on John 2:23 and 3:2. I was curious about why John made it a point to count the miracles that Jesus did in Galilee or whether there might be another explanation for his counting methodology. |
Bible Answer: The Gospel of John draws special attention to seven "signs" or miracles of Jesus that unveil the the glory and power of God working through Him. Seven is likely a symbolic reference to the old and new creation sice it represents Divine perfection and compeltion. 1. The miracle at Cana, John 2:1-11. 2. the healing of the official's son 4:46-54. 3. The healing of the paralytic 5:1-9. 4. The multiplication of the loaves 6:1-14. 5. The restoration of sight to the blind man 9:1- 41. 6. The raising of Lazarus from the dead 11:17-44. 7. The Resurrection of jesus 20:1-10. They also recal the signs performed by Moses during the Exodus, signs that liewise reveal the Glory of Yahweh. Numbers 14:22; Exodus 3:12; 4:28-31; Dueteronomy 34:11. Emmaus |
