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.
