Miracles of Jesus
Healing of the Official's Son
The Capernaum royal official believed that Jesus could make his son well because he had heard all the stories of the miraculous signs Christ did in Jerusalem. The Greek word translated “royal official” is basilikos, meaning “kings’ man.” This was a person of high rank, one of Herod’s trusted officials. His rank means nothing now though- he was a man in need of his son’s healing. As he saw the boy’s health declining, desperation, hope and faith in God began to rise when he heard of the miracles and healings of Christ. Jesus Christ healed his son from a distance. The royal official believed, and his household then believed in Jesus as well.
