The second sign performed by Jesus in the Gospel of John is the healing of the official's son at Capernaum. This miracle is recorded in John 4:46-54, where Jesus healed the son of a royal official who was at the point of death:


"So he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And at Capernaum there was an official whose son was ill. When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. So Jesus said to him, 'Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe.' The official said to him, 'Sir, come down before my child dies.' Jesus said to him, 'Go; your son will live.' The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went his way. As he was going down, his servants met him and told him that his son was living. So he asked them the hour when he began to mend, and they said to him, 'Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.' The father knew that was the hour when Jesus had said to him, 'Your son will live'; and he himself believed, and all his household. This was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea to Galilee."

This passage describes the healing of the official's son at Capernaum, which is the second sign performed by Jesus according to the Gospel of John.
