⁴⁷Basi, huyo ofisa aliposikia kuwa Yesu alikuwa ametoka Yudea na kufika Galilaya, alimwendea akamwomba aende kumponya mtoto wake aliyekuwa mgonjwa mahututi.

⁵³Huyo baba akakumbuka kwamba ilikuwa ni saa ileile ambapo Yesu alimwambia: "Mwanao yu mzima." Basi, yeye akaamini pamoja na jamaa yake yote.
