 Nobleman
    (Gr. basilikos, i.e., "king's man"), an officer of state (John
    4:49) in the service of Herod Antipas. He is supposed to have
    been the Chuza, Herod's steward, whose wife was one of those
    women who "ministered unto the Lord of their substance" (Luke
    8:3). This officer came to Jesus at Cana and besought him to go
    down to Capernaum and heal his son, who lay there at the point
    of death. Our Lord sent him away with the joyful assurance that
    his son was alive.
