146:5.2 When this nobleman had located [[Jesus]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cana Cana], he besought him to hurry over to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum] and [[heal]] his afflicted son. While [[the apostles]] stood by in breathless [[expectancy]], [[Jesus]], looking at the [[father]] of the sick boy, said: " How long shall I bear with you? The [[power]] of [[God]] is in your midst, but except you see [[signs]] and behold [[wonders]], you refuse to [[believe]]. " But the nobleman pleaded with [[Jesus]], saying: " My Lord, I do [[believe]], but come ere my [[child]] perishes, for when I left him he was even then at the point of [[death]]. " And when [[Jesus]] had bowed his head a [[moment]] in [[silent]] [[meditation]], he suddenly spoke, " Return to your [[home]]; your son will live. " Titus believed the [[word]] of [[Jesus]] and hastened back to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum]. And as he was returning, his servants came out to meet him, saying, " [[Rejoice]], for your son is improved—he lives. " Then Titus [[inquired]] of them at what hour the boy began to mend, and when the servants answered " yesterday about the seventh hour the fever left him, " the [[father]] recalled that it was about that hour when Jesus had said, " Your son will live. " And Titus henceforth believed with a whole [[heart]], and all his family also believed.[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_John#Chapter_4] This son became a mighty minister of [[the kingdom]] and later yielded up his life with those who [[suffered]] in [[Rome]]. Though the entire household of Titus, their [[friends]], and even [[the apostles]] regarded this [[episode]] as a [[miracle]], it was not. At least this was not a [[miracle]] of [[curing]] [[physical]] [[disease]]. It was merely a case of [[preknowledge]] concerning the [[course]] of [[natural law]], just such [[knowledge]] as [[Jesus]] frequently resorted to subsequent to his [[baptism]].

146:5.3 Again was [[Jesus]] compelled to hasten away from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cana Cana] because of the undue [[attention]] attracted by the second [[episode]] of this sort to attend his ministry in this village. The townspeople remembered the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_137#137:4._THE_WEDDING_AT_CANA water and the wine], and now that he was supposed to have [[healed]] the nobleman's son at so great a distance, they came to him, not only bringing the [[sick]] and afflicted but also sending [[messengers]] requesting that he heal sufferers at a distance. And when [[Jesus]] saw that the whole [[countryside]] was aroused, he said, " Let us go to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nain,_Israel Nain]. "
