THE SUNDAY SCHOOL INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS FOR FEBRUAPY 12. 8sN**t: Th? Second Miracle in Cut, John It.. 43-54?Golden Text, John v.# 30?Memory Verse*, 49-51?Commentary ou the Day's Lesson. I. Jesus received as a prophet (vs. 4345). 43. "After two da>s." The two days mentioned in verse 40. "Galilee." The centre of life and activity in Palestine at that time. It contained 3,000.000 of peo_i iv r?_?; pic. mere was a ioijc iuicijh [/upuiouuu, and the Jews were more ready to receive the gospel than in the south. 44. "His own country." It Would seem that at this time Jesus regarded Jerusalem and Judea, in a very important sense, as "His country," not simply His birthplace, but the place of His bather's house and kingdom, it being the metropolis of the Jews. They had already manifested hostile feelings toward Him. and therefore He turned His footsteps northward (John 3:25). This proverb which Jesus here uttered He repeated at Nazareth and was there rejected by His own kinsmen. His "own country," then, meant Nazareth, where He had grown up. Read Luke 4:24; Mark 6:2; Matt. 13:57. 45. "Into Galilee." The country of Galilee. He had accomplished His journey from Judea. His stop in Samaria was for two days only. "Received Him." This does not mean that none rejected Him, but where He went He wag welcomed. His first miracle there, nearly a year before, was still in their memory, and it was only a few weeks after that when those same countrymen met Him at the Passover, and there witnessed other miracles and a display of His authority in cleansing the temple. II. The nobleman's request (vs. 46, 47). 46. "Again into Cana." Where His disciples witnessed the first display of His power. and where their faith in Him as the Messiah was confirmed. Very likely He was again entertained in the home of Xathanael. "A certain nobleman." Literally "one belonging to the king." Herod Antipas was king at this time and this inan was probably some high officer of Herod's court. Some think he was Chuza. Herod's steward or chamberlain, whose wife, Joantia tr* .To?nc fT.nL-o TKp miraculous healing of the nobleman's son resembles the healing of the centurion's servant (Matt. 8:5 and Luke 7D), but must not be confounded with it. "Son was sick." Very sick with a fever (v. 52). Disease and death come alike to high and low. There is misery in palaces as well as in hovels. "Capernaum." A city on the northwest coast o2 the sea of Galilee. Soon after this Jesus made Capernaum Kis home. 47. "When He heard." Probably through the reports of those who had been at the Passover, if he had not himself witnessed the miracles there. Capernaum was not more than twenty miles from Cana, and the news would quickly spread that Jesus was again come to Galilee. "Went unto?besought." Here we see his tender affection for his son: he spared no pains to get help for him. We also see his great respect for our Lord; he came himself. when he might have sent a servant, and he besought Him. when, as a man in authority, some would think he might have ordered His attendance. The greatest men. when thev come to God, mo?t become beggars. "Point of death." Times of sorrow and deepest need lead us to Christ. When no earthly power can aid us we turn to the One who has all power and love. III. Jesus demands faith (vs. 48-50). 4S. "Except ye see." Not only did thev demand miracles, but miracles performed in a striking manner. How totally unlike the Samaritans, from whom our Lord had ao lately come, who embraced the divinity of His teachings without demanding wonders. This nobleman came purely absorbed in his dving son. anxious for the bodily miracle, but thoughtless of the divine claims of the Saviour of sinners. It is this selfishness of spirit that Jesus now rebukes. The words of this verse are, as it were, an ejaculation, a thinking aloud of Jesus. He sees that to awaken this man He must more than heal his son: He must n that sign add an additional wonder. He must so heal him as to arouse the man to reflection. 49. "Come down." etc. This discussion of faith was as loss of time to him. He cannot stop to answer the rebuke. to arrue the case or to defend his character. It is his son alone that fills his thoughts. Hut his earnestress shows a belief in Christ's power which will soon cause him to acknowledge his child's Saviour as divine. 50. "Go thy way." This would be a frreat test to the man's faith, but he was readv for it. "Thy son liveth." The healing is granted, but without Jesus leaving Cann. Until now the father had believed on the testimony of others. Xow his faith is to rest on a better sunport?on the personal contact which he had just had with the Lord Himself. "The man believed." This is an instance of the power of Jesus to convince the mird: to soothe doubts; to confirm faith, and to meet our desires. Had our Lord gone with him. as he wished, his unbelief could not have been fully removed. God always bestows His gifts in that way in which His glory is best promoted and our eternal interest secured. The word?spoken." Eefore this he had believed in Christ's power to heal, now he believes in His word and acts accordingly. IV. Faith rewarded (vs. 51-54). 51. "Going down." From Cana to Capernaum. "Met him." "While the father was descending the hillsides with trust and peace, they were ascending them with glad news." "Thy son liveth." Meaning the same that Jesus meant when He used the same words?that he would recover from this sickness, with the prospect of lengthened life. 52. "Then enquired he." His faith was re varded. He had believed the Word and received its fulfillment. It was his delight to consider the works of God, and to note the beauty and harmony beir:*2 His word and His work. "At the scventt- hour," n?fLn.i*e tire, definite work. This was either 1 o'clock p. m., according to the Jewish reckoning, or 7 o'clock p. m.. according to one Roman reckoning. The latter explains best why the nobleman did not go home the same night. ?3. "The father knew." Everything Was clear to his understanding. It was while he was Deseecning tne aaviour mat his prayer was answered, though at the time he knew it not. Mortals can tell more of what they have experienced than they can claim by faith. The diligent comparing of the works of Christ with His words will be of great use to confirm our faith. As the word of God, well studied, will help us to understand His providences, so the providence of God, well observed, will help us to understand His word. "Himself?whole house." Believed in the divine claims of Jesus. This is the earliest mention of "household faith." 54. "Second miracle." Not the second miracle Jesus had wrought (chap. 3:2; v. 45), but the second in Galilee. The Same Thing. Prof. William James of Harvard, Is well known for repartee. Not long ago a sophomore who thought he was extremely wise expressed some atheistical views. "Ah," said the professor, "you are a Tree thinker, I perceive. You believe in nothing."
