      | ¶ | When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, | |
| (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,) | ||
 | He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee. | ||
| And he must needs go through Samaria. | ||
| 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. | ||
| 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. | ||
| There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. | ||
 | (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) | ||
| 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. | ||
| 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. | ||
| 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? | ||
| Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? | ||
 | Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: | ||
| 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. | ||
| The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. | ||
| Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. | ||
| The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: | ||
| For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. | ||
| The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. | ||
| Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. | ||
| Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. | ||
| Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. | ||
| 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. | ||
| God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth. | ||
| The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. | ||
| Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he]. | ||
| ¶ | 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? | |
| The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, | ||
| Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? | ||
| Then they went out of the city, and came unto him. | ||
| In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. | ||
| But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. | ||
| Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him [ought] to eat? | ||
| Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. | ||
| 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. | ||
| And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. | ||
| And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. | ||
| I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours. | ||
| ¶ | 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. | |
| So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days. | ||
| And many more believed because of his own word; | ||
| 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. | ||
| ¶ | Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee. | |
| For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country. | ||
| 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. | ||
| ¶ | 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. | |
| 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. | ||
| Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. | ||
| The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. | ||
| 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. | ||
| And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told [him], saying, Thy son liveth. | ||
| Then 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. | ||
| 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. | ||
| This [is] again the second miracle [that] Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee. |
