John 4:46

A certain nobleman. One who was of the royal family, connected by birth with Herod Antipas; or one of the officers of the court, whether by birth allied to him or not. It seems that his ordinary residence was at Capernaum. Capernaum was about a day's journey from Cana, where Jesus then was.

(f) "he made the water wine" Jn 2:1,11 (1) "nobleman" or, "courtier" or, "ruler"
