The nobleman’s son was very sick and lived in Capernaum. The nobleman heard that Jesus was coming into Galilee, and approaches Him and ask if He would heal his dying son. Jesus replies, â€Å"that unless ye see signs and wonders ye will not believe.† John 4:48 According to Dr. Towns, this miracle showed power over space. Jesus did not travel to the man’s son to perform the act, but performed the miracle from a distance. Twice John mentions the faith of the nobleman. First, he â€Å"believed the word that Jesus spoke to him† (John 4:50) Later, when that word was confirmed, â€Å"he himself believed† (John 4:53). The first expression of faith was faith in the spoken word of God, and the second expression of faith was in the incarnate Word of God. This sign was significant in that not only the father believed but also his whole household, which would include not only his family but also his servants. This is the first example of salvation to all that believe.†[5] The nobleman comes to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and he brings his whole family with him.
