“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 Messias 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 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. 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.” (John
4:1-54 AV)
