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.
