1When
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,)
3He
left Judaea,
and departed
again into
Galilee.
4And
he must
needs go
through
Samaria.
5Then
cometh he to
a city of
Samaria,
which is
called
Sychar, near
to the
parcel of
ground that
Jacob gave
to his son
Joseph.
6Now
Jacob's well
was there.
Jesus
therefore,
being
wearied
with his journey,
sat thus on
the well: and it
was about
the sixth
hour.
7There
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.)
9Then
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.
10Jesus
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.
11The
woman saith
unto him,
Sir, thou
hast nothing
to draw
with, and
the well is
deep: from
whence then
hast thou
that living
water?
12Art
thou greater
than our
father
Jacob, which
gave us the
well, and
drank
thereof
himself, and
his
children,
and his
cattle?
13Jesus
answered and
said unto
her, Whosoever
drinketh of
this water
shall thirst
again:
14But
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.
15The
woman saith
unto him,
Sir, give me
this water,
that I
thirst not,
neither come
hither to
draw.
16Jesus
saith unto
her, Go,
call thy
husband, and
come hither.
17The
woman
answered and
said, I have
no husband.
Jesus said
unto her, Thou
hast well
said, I have
no husband:
18For
thou hast
had five
husbands;
and he whom
thou now
hast is not
thy husband:
in that
saidst thou
truly.
19The
woman saith
unto him,
Sir, I
perceive
that thou
art a
prophet.
20Our
fathers
worshipped
in this
mountain;
and ye say,
that in
Jerusalem is
the place
where men
ought to
worship.
21Jesus
saith unto
her, Woman,
believe me,
the hour
cometh, when
ye shall
neither in
this
mountain,
nor yet at
Jerusalem,
worship the
Father.
22Ye
worship ye
know not
what: we
know what we
worship: for
salvation is
of the Jews.
23But
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.
24God is a
Spirit: and
they that
worship him
must
worship him in
spirit and
in truth.
25The
woman saith
unto him, I
know that
Messias
cometh,
which is
called
Christ: when
he is come,
he will tell
us all
things.
26Jesus
saith unto
her, I
that speak
unto thee
am he.
27And
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?
28The
woman then
left her
waterpot,
and went her
way into the
city, and
saith to the
men,
29Come,
see a man,
which told
me all
things that
ever I did:
is not this
the Christ?
30Then
they went
out of the
city, and
came unto
him.
31In
the mean
while his
disciples
prayed him,
saying,
Master, eat.
32But
he said unto
them, I
have meat to
eat that ye
know not of.
33Therefore
said the
disciples
one to
another,
Hath any man
brought him ought to
eat?
34Jesus
saith unto
them, My
meat is to
do the will
of him that
sent me, and
to finish
his work.
35Say
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.
36And
he that
reapeth
receiveth
wages, and
gathereth
fruit unto
life
eternal:
that both he
that soweth
and he that
reapeth may
rejoice
together.
37And
herein is
that saying
true, One
soweth, and
another
reapeth.
38I
sent you to
reap that
whereon ye
bestowed no
labour:
other men
laboured,
and ye are
entered into
their
labours.
39And
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.
40So
when the
Samaritans
were come
unto him,
they
besought him
that he
would tarry
with them:
and he abode
there two
days.
41And
many more
believed
because of
his own
word;
42And
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.
43Now
after two
days he
departed
thence, and
went into
Galilee.
44For
Jesus
himself
testified,
that a
prophet hath
no honour in
his own
country.
45Then
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.
46So
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.
47When
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.
48Then
said Jesus
unto him, Except
ye see signs
and wonders,
ye will not
believe.
49The
nobleman
saith unto
him, Sir,
come down
ere my child
die.
50Jesus
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.
51And
as he was
now going
down, his
servants met
him, and
told him,
saying, Thy
son liveth.
52Then
enquired he
of them the
hour when he
began to
amend. And
they said
unto him,
Yesterday at
the seventh
hour the
fever left
him.
53So
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.
54This is again
the second
miracle that Jesus
did, when he
was come out
of Judaea
into
Galilee.
