Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe

Jesus told the nobleman this when he requested that his son be healed. This sounds harsh to me at first. But what do we see? The word “ye” means Jesus is addressing multiple people, namely, the nobleman and likely the people of Capernaum. Not everyone was open to believing in Jesus apart from miracles. However, it was clear that this man believed because he traveled all the way to Jesus. This shows his reliance on Christ for this dire time. This is likely why Jesus chose to heal this man remotely; He did it not publicly because the people cared only for miracles and did not have the faith.
