[1] WHEN therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
[1] ---
[2] (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
[2] ---
[3] He left Judæa, and departed again into Galilee.
[3] ---
[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.
[5] ---
[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.
[6] ---
[7] There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
[7] ---
[8] (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
[8] ---
[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.
[9] ---
[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.
[10] ---
[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?
[11] ---
[12] Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
[12] ---
[13] Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
[13] ---
[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.
[14] ---
[15] The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
[15] ---
[16] Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
[16] ---
[17] The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
[17] ---
[18] For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
[18] ---
[19] The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
[19] ---
[20] Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
[20] ---
[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.
[21] ---
[22] Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
[22] ---
[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.
[23] ---
[24] God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
[24] ---
[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.
[25] ---
[26] Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
[26] ---
[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?
[27] ---
[28] The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
[28] ---
[29] Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
[29] ---
[30] Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
[30] ---
[31] ¶ In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
[31] ---
[32] But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
[32] ---
[33] Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
[33] ---
[34] Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
[34] ---
[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.
[35] ---
[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.
[36] ---
[37] And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
[37] ---
[38] I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
[38] ---
[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.
[39] ---
[40] So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
[40] ---
[41] And many more believed because of his own word;
[41] ---
[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.
[42] ---
[43] ¶ Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
[43] ---
[44] For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
[44] ---
[45] Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilæans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
[45] ---
[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.
[46] ---
[47] When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judæa 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.
[47] ---
[48] Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
[48] ---
[49] The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
[49] ---
[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.
[50] ---
[51] And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.
[51] ---
[52] Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
[52] ---
[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.
[53] ---
[54] This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judæa into Galilee.
