At the same hour the watchers beside the dying child in the home at Capernaum beheld a sudden and mysterious change. The shadow of death was lifted from the sufferer's face. The flush of fever gave place to the soft glow of returning health. The dim eyes brightened with intelligence, and strength returned to the feeble, emaciated frame. No signs of his malady lingered about the child. His burning flesh had become soft and moist, and he sank into a quiet sleep. The fever had left him in the very heat of the day. The family were amazed, and great was the rejoicing.

I den samme time så de, der vågede ved det døende barn i hjemmet i Kapernaum, at der skete en uforklarlig forandring. Dødens skygge forsvandt fra den syges ansigt. Febergløden veg pladsen for den tilbagevendende sundheds milde rødme. De matte øjne strålede genkendende, og kraften vendte tilbage i den svage, udtærede skikkelse. Der fandtes ikke mere noget spor af sygdom på barnet. Dets brændende hud var blevet blød og fugtig, og det sank hen i en rolig søvn. Feberen havde forladt det midt i dagens hede. Familien undrede sig, og glæden var stor.
