However, Mary tells the servants to do whatever Jesus instructs them, showing her faith in him. Brunton emphasises the importance of trusting Jesus to do what's right.

Trusting Jesus's word, the official returns home and discovers his son has indeed recovered.

Episode 1016
Rev. Richard Brunton explores a miracle narrated by John in the Bible. The miracle occurred in Jerusalem during a Jewish festival, a context which Brunton emphasises is significant. The specific location, near the sheep-gate at the pool of Bethesda, is a place of sacrifice, which Brunton suggests would have resonated with Jesus' own future sacrifice. The miracle involved healing an invalid man among many needy people present.
