Numbers 5:1-4 and John 4:43-54 (New Living Translation)

NUMBERS 5:1-4
UNCLEAN PEOPLE
1  The Lord gave these instructions to Moses:
2  “Command the people of Israel to remove from the camp anyone who has a skin disease or a discharge, or who has become ceremonially unclean by touching a dead person.
3  This command applies to men and women alike. Remove them so they will not defile the camp in which I live among them.”
4  So the Israelites did as the Lord had commanded Moses and removed such people from the camp.

JOHN 4:43-54
JESUS HEALS AN OFFICIAL'S SON
43  At the end of the two days, Jesus went on to Galilee. 
44  He himself had said that a prophet is not honored in his own hometown. 
45  Yet the Galileans welcomed him, for they had been in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration and had seen everything he did there.
46  As he traveled through Galilee, he came to Cana, where he had turned the water into wine. There was a government official in nearby Capernaum whose son was very sick. 
47  When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged Jesus to come to Capernaum to heal his son, who was about to die.
48  Jesus asked, “Will you never believe in me unless you see miraculous signs and wonders?”
49  The official pleaded, “Lord, please come now before my little boy dies.”
50  Then Jesus told him, “Go back home. Your son will live!” And the man believed what Jesus said and started home.
51  While the man was on his way, some of his servants met him with the news that his son was alive and well. 
52  He asked them when the boy had begun to get better, and they replied, “Yesterday afternoon at one o’clock his fever suddenly disappeared!” 
53  Then the father realized that that was the very time Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” And he and his entire household believed in Jesus. 
54  This was the second miraculous sign Jesus did in Galilee after coming from Judea.
