| 4:1 |
When therefore the Lord knew that 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 Judea, and departed again into Galilee.
|
| 4:4 |
And he must needs go through Samaria.
|
| 4:5 |
Then he cometh 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 to her, Give me to drink.
|
| 4:8 |
(For his disciples had gone to the city to buy provisions.)
|
| 4:9 |
Then saith the woman of Samaria to him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
|
| 4:10 |
Jesus answered and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldst have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.
|
| 4:11 |
The woman saith to 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, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his children, and his cattle?
|
| 4:13 |
Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinketh of this water, shall thirst again:
|
| 4:14 |
But whoever 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 to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, neither come hither to draw.
|
| 4:16 |
Jesus saith to her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
|
| 4:17 |
The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to 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 thou hast spoken truth.
|
| 4:19 |
The woman saith to him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
|
| 4:20 |
Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
|
| 4:21 |
Jesus saith to 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 from the Jews.
|
| 4:23 |
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers 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 to him, I know that Messiah cometh, who is called Christ; when he is come, he will tell us all things.
|
| 4:26 |
Jesus saith to her, I that speak to thee am [he].
|
| 4:27 |
And upon this came his disciples, and marveled 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 into the city, and saith to the men,
|
| 4:29 |
Come, see a man who hath told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
|
| 4:30 |
Then they went out of the city, and came to him.
|
| 4:31 |
In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
|
| 4:32 |
But he said to them, I have food to eat that ye know not of.
|
| 4:33 |
Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him [aught] to eat?
|
| 4:34 |
Jesus saith to them, My food 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 to 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 to 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 on which ye bestowed no labor: other men labored, and ye have entered into their labors.
|
| 4:39 |
And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, who testified, He told me all that ever I did.
|
| 4:40 |
So when the Samaritans had come to 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 to 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 Savior 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 honor in his own country.
|
| 4:45 |
Then when he had come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went to 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 had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to 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 to him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
|
| 4:49 |
The nobleman saith to him, Sir, come down ere my child dieth.
|
| 4:50 |
Jesus saith to him, Go; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken to him, and he departed.
|
| 4:51 |
And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told [him], saying, Thy son liveth.
|
| 4:52 |
Then he inquired of them the hour when he began to amend: and they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
|
| 4:53 |
So the father knew that [it was] at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth: and he himself believed, and his whole house.
|
| 4:54 |
This [is] again the second miracle [that] Jesus performed, when he had come from Judea into Galilee.
