| 1 When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples that John |
|
| 2 (although Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples), |
|
| 3 he left Judea, and departed again into Galilee. |
|
| 4 And he must needs pass through Samaria. |
|
| 5 So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph: |
|
| 6 and Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. 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 into the city to buy food. |
|
| 9 The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? (For Jews have no dealings with 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: whence then hast thou this living water? |
|
| 12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle? |
|
| 13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that 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 become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life.
|
|
| 15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw. |
|
| 16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
|
|
| 17 The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:
|
|
| 18 for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said 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 neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.
|
|
| 22 Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know: for salvation is from the Jews.
|
|
| 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers.
|
|
| 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
|
|
| 25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh (he is called Christ): when he is come, he will declare unto us all things. |
|
| 26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
|
|
| 27 And upon this came his disciples; and they marvelled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her? |
|
| 28 So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the people, |
|
| 29 Come see a man, who told me all things that ever I did: can this be the Christ? |
|
| 30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him. |
|
| 31 In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat. |
|
| 32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not.
|
|
| 33 The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him aught to eat? |
|
| 34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work.
|
|
| 35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white unto harvest.
|
|
| 36 Already he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
|
|
| 37 For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
|
|
| 38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not labored, and ye are entered into their labor.
|
|
| 39 And from that city many of the Samaritans believed on him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all things that ever I did. |
|
| 40 So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them: and he abode there two days. |
|
| 41 And many more believed because of his word; |
|
| 42 and they said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy speaking: for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Savior of the world. |
|
| 43 And after the two days he went forth from thence into Galilee. |
|
| 44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honor in his own country. |
|
| 45 So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast. |
|
| 46 He came therefore again unto Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. |
|
| 47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea 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 Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise 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.
The man believed the word that Jesus spake unto him, and he went his way. |
|
| 51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son lived. |
|
| 52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to amend. They said therefore unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. |
|
| 53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and he himself believed, and his whole house. |
|
| 54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee. |
