| 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 Messiah 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. |
