We discuss the news and communication of the miracles and signs performed by Jesus that lead to the healing of the Official's Son. John 2:13-25; John 4:43-54. News don't have feet, but it can travel thousands of miles, across mountains and valleys. The gospel of John records seven "signs" or miracles, intended to prove that Jesus is God.

However, John is not claiming that these are the only miracles Jesus ever performed. On the contrary, this book mentions that Jesus did other works which are not specifically recorded (John 20:30–31). It's all but certain that Jesus had performed other miracles while he was in Galilee, after the wedding in Cana. Nicodemus referred to His "signs" in John 3:2. People responded to Jesus's "signs" as well which lead many to seek him out (John 2:23), including the Official who's son had fallen gravely ill.
