Cana of Galilee
The photo is from Khirbet Cana, with a
view towards the south. This photo shows the ruins of the
Hellensitic and Roman period houses that are located on
the top of the hill. In one of these houses (maybe this
one?...) Jesus met with the official. Here he performed
his second miracle, healing his son who was sick in
Capernaum, a day's ride to the north-east.

"And there was a
certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he
heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he
went unto him, and besought him that he would come down,
and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. Then
said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye
will not believe. The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come
down ere my child die. Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way;
thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus
had spoken unto him, and he went his way. And as he was
now going down, his servants met him, and told him,
saying, Thy son liveth. Then enquired he of them the hour
when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday
at the seventh hour the fever left him. So the father knew
that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto
him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole
house. This is again the second miracle that Jesus did,
when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee".
