John
John.4
[1] When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had
heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
[2] (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his
disciples,)
[3] He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
[4] And he must needs go through Samaria.
[5] Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called
Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son
Joseph.
[6] Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being
wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about
the sixth hour.
[7] There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus
saith unto her, Give me to drink.
[8] (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy
meat.)
[9] Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it
that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of
Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
[10] Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the
gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink;
thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee
living water.
[11] The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to
draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that
living water?
[12] Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us
the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his
cattle?
[13] Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh
of this water shall thirst again:
[14] But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give
him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall
be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
[15] The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water,
that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
[16] Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come
hither.
[17] The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus
said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
[18] For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now
hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
[19] The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou
art a prophet.
[20] Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say,
that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
[21] Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour
cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at
Jerusalem, worship the Father.
[22] Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship:
for salvation is of the Jews.
[23] But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true
worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for
the Father seeketh such to worship him.
[24] God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must
worship him in spirit and in truth.
[25] The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh,
which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all
things.
[26] Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am
he.
[27] And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that
he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or,
Why talkest thou with her?
[28] The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way
into the city, and saith to the men,
[29] Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I
did: is not this the Christ?
[30] Then they went out of the city, and came unto
him.
[31] In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying,
Master, eat.
[32] But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye
know not of.
[33] Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any
man brought him ought to eat?
[34] Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of
him that sent me, and to finish his work.
[35] Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then
cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and
look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
[36] And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth
fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that
reapeth may rejoice together.
[37] And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and
another reapeth.
[38] I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no
labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their
labours.
[39] And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on
him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all
that ever I did.
[40] So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they
besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there
two days.
[41] And many more believed because of his own word;
[42] And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because
of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that
this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
[43] Now after two days he departed thence, and went into
Galilee.
[44] For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no
honour in his own country.
[45] Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans
received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem
at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
[46] So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he
made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son
was sick at Capernaum.
[47] When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into
Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come
down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
[48] Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and
wonders, ye will not believe.
[49] The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my
child die.
[50] Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And
the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he
went his way.
[51] And as he was now going down, his servants met him,
and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.
[52] Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to
amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the
fever left him.
[53] So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in
the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself
believed, and his whole house.
[54] This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when
he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
