St. John records (4:46–54) that after the wedding at Cana, the Lord returned again to Cana. A royal official (regulus — likely a courtier of Herod Antipas) came from Capernaum, twenty miles away, where his son lay dying. He begged the Lord to come down and heal him.
Christ answered: 'Go thy way; thy son liveth.' The man believed the word and turned for home. While he was yet on the way his servants met him with news that his son lived. 'He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him. The father therefore knew, that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him: Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.'
St. John identifies this as 'the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea into Galilee' — explicitly numbered alongside the wedding at Cana. The healing across twenty miles by a single spoken word is the first explicit example in the Gospels of the Lord's power not bound by distance.
