1 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptised more disciples than John, 2 (Though Jesus himself baptised not, but his disciples,) 3 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee. 4 And he must needs go through Samaria. 5 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. 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 comes a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus said to her, Give me to drink. 8 (For his disciples were gone away to the city to buy meat.) 9 Then said the woman of Samaria to him, How is it that you, being a Jew, asks drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. 10 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. 11 The woman said to him, Sir, you hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast you that living water? 12 Art you 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 to her, Whosoever drinks of this water shall thirst again: 14 But whosoever 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. 15 The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. 16 Jesus said to her, Go, call your husband, and come hither. 17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You hast well said, I have no husband: 18 For you hast had five husbands; and he whom you now hast is not your husband: in that said you truly. 19 The woman said to him, Sir, I perceive that you art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus said to her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 You worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 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. 24 God [(is)] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [(him)] in spirit and in truth. 25 The woman said to him, I know that Messias comes, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 26 Jesus said to her, I that speak to you am [(he. 27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seeks you? or, Why takes you with her? 28 The woman then left her water-pot, and went her way into the city, and said 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 to him. 31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. 32 But he said to them, I have meat to eat that you know not of. 33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him [(ought)] to eat? 34 Jesus said to them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. 35 Say not you, 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. 36 And he that reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to life eternal: that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together. 37 And herein is that saying true, One sows, and another reaps. 38 I sent you to reap that whereon you bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and you 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 to 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 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. 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 to 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 to 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 to him, Except you see signs and wonders, you will not believe. 49 The nobleman said to him, Sir, come down ere my child die. 50 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. 51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told [(him)], saying, Your son lives. 52 Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said to 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 to him, Your son lives: 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. —- home Chapters: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 </box| Christopedia copyright © 2019.
