| 4:1 |
|
When therefore the LORD knew
how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and
baptized more disciples than John, |
| 4:2 |
|
(Though Jesus himself baptized
not, but his disciples,) |
| 4:3 |
|
He left Judaea, and departed
again into Galilee. |
| 4:4 |
|
And he must needs go through
Samaria. |
| 4:5 |
|
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. |
| 4:6 |
|
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. |
| 4:7 |
|
There cometh a woman of Samaria
to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to
drink. |
| 4:8 |
|
(For his disciples were gone
away unto the city to buy meat.) |
| 4:9 |
|
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. |
| 4:10 |
|
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. |
| 4:11 |
|
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? |
| 4:12 |
|
Art thou greater than our
father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank
thereof himself, and his children, and his
cattle? |
| 4:13 |
|
Jesus answered and said unto
her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall
thirst again: |
| 4:14 |
|
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. |
| 4:15 |
|
The woman saith unto him, Sir,
give me this water, that I thirst not, neither
come hither to draw. |
| 4:16 |
|
Jesus saith unto her, Go, call
thy husband, and come hither. |
| 4:17 |
|
The woman answered and said, I
have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast
well said, I have no husband: |
| 4:18 |
|
For thou hast had five
husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy
husband: in that saidst thou truly. |
| 4:19 |
|
The woman saith unto him, Sir,
I perceive that thou art a prophet. |
| 4:20 |
|
Our fathers worshipped in this
mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the
place where men ought to worship. |
| 4:21 |
|
Jesus saith unto her, Woman,
believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall
neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem,
worship the Father. |
| 4:22 |
|
Ye worship ye know not what: we
know what we worship: for salvation is of the
Jews. |
| 4:23 |
|
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. |
| 4:24 |
|
God is a Spirit: and they that
worship him must worship him in spirit and in
truth. |
| 4:25 |
|
The woman saith unto him, I
know that Messias cometh, which is called
Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all
things. |
| 4:26 |
|
Jesus saith unto her, I that
speak unto thee am he. |
| 4:27 |
|
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? |
| 4:28 |
|
The woman then left her
waterpot, and went her way into the city, and
saith to the men, |
| 4:29 |
|
Come, see a man, which told me
all things that ever I did: is not this the
Christ? |
| 4:30 |
|
Then they went out of the city,
and came unto him. |
| 4:31 |
|
In the mean while his disciples
prayed him, saying, Master, eat. |
| 4:32 |
|
But he said unto them, I have
meat to eat that ye know not of. |
| 4:33 |
|
Therefore said the disciples
one to another, Hath any man brought him ought
to eat? |
| 4:34 |
|
Jesus saith unto them, My meat
is to do the will of him that sent me, and to
finish his work. |
| 4:35 |
|
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. |
| 4:36 |
|
And he that reapeth receiveth
wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal:
that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may
rejoice together. |
| 4:37 |
|
And herein is that saying true,
One soweth, and another reapeth. |
| 4:38 |
|
I sent you to reap that whereon
ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and
ye are entered into their labours. |
| 4:39 |
|
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. |
| 4:40 |
|
So when the Samaritans were
come unto him, they besought him that he would
tarry with them: and he abode there two days. |
| 4:41 |
|
And many more believed because
of his own word; |
| 4:42 |
|
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. |
| 4:43 |
|
Now after two days he departed
thence, and went into Galilee. |
| 4:44 |
|
For Jesus himself testified,
that a prophet hath no honour in his own
country. |
| 4:45 |
|
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. |
| 4:46 |
|
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. |
| 4:47 |
|
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. |
| 4:48 |
|
Then said Jesus unto him,
Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not
believe. |
| 4:49 |
|
The nobleman saith unto him,
Sir, come down ere my child die. |
| 4:50 |
|
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. |
| 4:51 |
|
And as he was now going down,
his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy
son liveth. |
| 4:52 |
|
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. |
| 4:53 |
|
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. |
| 4:54 |
|
This is again the second
miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of
Judaea into Galilee. |
