been able to speak good words to that poor woman that He did not feel
hungry any more. He told His disciples that doing God's work was the
food He liked best.

After this Jesus lived for awhile first at Nazareth, and then at
Capernaum. There was a boy ill in Capernaum just then with a fever.
It is so hot near the Sea of Galilee that the people who live there
often get fever. That sick boy's father was rich, but money could not
make the dying boy well. His father had heard of Jesus, and when he
knew that Jesus had come into Galilee, and that He was only a few miles
away, he came to Him, and begged Him to come down to Capernaum and make
his child well. At first Jesus said to him, 'You will not believe on
Me unless you see Me do some wonderful thing.' But when He saw how
eager the poor father was, He thought He would try him, and He said to
him, 'Go thy way, thy son liveth.' Directly Jesus said that, the man
felt sure in his heart that his boy was well. He did not ask Jesus any
more to come with him, but he just went back home quietly by himself.

Next day, as he was going down the long hilly road from Cana to
Capernaum, some of the servants from his house came to meet him, and
they said to him, 'Thy son liveth.' Then the father asked them what
time it was when the boy began to get better, and said, 'Yesterday, at
the seventh hour (that means at one o'clock) the fever left him.' Then
the father knew that that was the very time when Jesus had said to him,
'Thy son liveth,' and he and all the people in the house believed in
Jesus.

The Jews could not bear paying taxes to the Romans, and they hated the
publicans. They would not eat with them or talk with them. But Jesus
did not hate the publicans. He only hated the wrong things they did.
