Are you greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship.
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and all of you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. 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.
48 Jesus therefore said to him, Unless ye see signs and wonders ye will not believe.
