John 4:54

‘This is again the second sign that Jesus did when He had come from Judea to Galilee.'

Up to this point Galilee had not been the scene of His miracles. Judea had been given the first chance to respond to its Messiah. They had been His prime target, His own country. Indeed even as a young teenager He had recognised Jerusalem as the centre of His ministry (Luke 2:46). Now He will bring the good news to His adopted home. The first sign in Galilee had revealed that Jesus had come to bring in the ‘good things' of the age to come. The second revealed the power of His word to act instantaneously even at a distance, and the need to accept it and respond in full faith. Both revealed that He only had to think and it was done. It was then made clear by being followed by a word of power from the One Who is the Word. Jesus was being revealed as the Son of God.
