When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast was already over, Paul began to admonish them to not continue, because he perceived that not only would there be a loss of the cargo but also of their lives.

 Good morning. From that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified about Him. This is what is supposed to happen to us. We share what God has done for us with others, and then they believe in Him through our testimony. Jesus then went back to Galilee. He testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country. They received Him because they had seen all the things that He did in Jerusalem at the feast. They did not believe because of His words; they believed because of the signs He did. He returns to Cana where He turned the water into wine. A royal official from Capernaum heard that Jesus was in Galilee. His son was sick, so he implored Jesus to come and heal his son; for he was at the point of death. Unless you people see signs and wonders, you simply will not believe. Like any normal parent, he ignored Jesus’ criticism - please come before my child dies. Jesus simply said, go, your son lives. Most of us would’ve said, but You don’t understand – You need to come right now and lay Your hands on him, and heal him. We want God to do things exactly the way that we ask for them to be done. In the end, this was an even greater miracle than if Jesus had come and laid His hands on him. By the way, Jesus could have done it this way with Lazarus. He could have simply spoken the word and healed Lazarus. The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and started to go back home. If he had not gone, his son probably would not have been healed. Before he got home, he was met by people from his house who told him that his son was living. When did it happen? It was the same time as when Jesus told him that his son lived. The man believed, and his whole household. He had believed that his son would be healed, or he would not have gone home – he would’ve stayed and continued to beg Jesus to come. Now he and his whole family become believers in Christ.
