John Chapter 4|#11 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,#22 (Though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples,)#23 He left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.#24 And he necessary go through Samaria.#25 Then comes he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.#26 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.#27 There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus said to her, Give me to drink.|*28 (For his disciples had left away to the city to buy food.)#29 Then said the woman of Samaria to him, How is it that you, being a Jew, ask drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? For the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.#210 Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that said to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.#211 The woman said to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: From where then have you that living water?#212 Are you greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his children, and his cattle?#213 Jesus answered and said to her, whoever drinks of this water shall thirst again:#214 But whoever drinks 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.#215 The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, that I do not thirst, neither come here to draw.|*216 Jesus said to her, Go, call your husband, and come here.#217 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, you have well said, I have no husband:#218 For you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband: In that said you truly.#219 The woman said to him, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.#220 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.#221 Jesus said to her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.#222 You worship you do not know what: We know what we worship: For salvation is of the Jews.#223 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: For the Father seeks such to worship him.#224 God is a Spirit: And they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.#225 The woman said to him, I know that Messias comes, which is called Christ: When he comes, he will tell us all things.#226 Jesus said to her, I that speak to you am he.|*227 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: Yet no one said, What seek you? Or, Why talk you with her?#228 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and said to the men,#229 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: Is this not the Christ?#230 Then they went out of the city, and came to him.|*231 In the mean while his disciples pleaded with him, saying, Master, eat.#232 But he said to them, I have food to eat that you do not know of.#233 Replied the disciples each other, has anyone brought him ought to eat?#234 Jesus said to them, My food is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.|*235 Do not say, There are yet four months, and then comes harvest? Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.#236 And he that reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to everlasting life: That both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together.#237 And herein is that saying true, One sows, and another reaps.#238 I sent you to reap that whereon you bestowed no labour: Other men laboured, and you are entered into their labours.|*239 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.#240 So when the Samaritans were come to him, they pleaded him that he would tarry with them: And he stayed there two days.#241 And many more believed because of his own word;#242 And said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of your saying: For we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.|+#243 Now after two days he departed from there, and went into Galilee.#244 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet has no honour in his own country.#245 Then when he had arrived into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: For they also went to the feast.|*246 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.#247 When he heard that Jesus got out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and pleaded him that he would come down, and heal his son: For he was at the point of death.#248 Then said Jesus to him, Except you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.#249 The nobleman said to him, Sir, come down before my child die.#250 Jesus said to him, Go your way; your son lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken to him, and he went his way.#251 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, your son lives.#252 Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.#253 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said to him, your son lives: And himself believed, and his whole house.|*254 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he got out of Judea into Galilee.
