A royal official in the town of Capernaum had a son who was dying. The official travelled to where Jesus was, in Galilee, and begged him to come back with him to heal his son. Instead of going with him, Jesus told the man to return to Capernaum because his son was healed.
The official “took Jesus at his word” and returned home to find his son well. The fever had gone at the same hour Jesus had said he would live.
We can believe the words of Jesus.
