John 4

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 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 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
