When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus maketh and baptizeth more disciples than John
(though Jesus himself did not baptize but his disciples),
he left Judea and went away [again] into Galilee.
And he must pass through Samaria.
He cometh therefore to a city of Samaria called Sychar near the land which Jacob gave to Joseph his son.
Now a fountain of Jacob was there. Jesus therefore being wearied with the journeying sat thus at the fountain. It was about the sixth hour.
There cometh a woman out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith to her, Give me to drink
(for his disciples had gone away into the city to buy provisions).
The Samaritan woman therefore saith to him, How dost thou being a Jew ask to drink of me being a Samaritan woman? for Jews have no intercourse with Samaritans.
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 wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
The woman saith to him, Sir, thou hast no bucket, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou the living water?
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself and his sons and his cattle?
Jesus answered and said to her, Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again;
but whosoever drinketh of the water which I shall give him, shall in no way thirst forever, but the water which I shall give him shall become in him a fountain of water springing up into life eternal.
The woman saith to him, Sir, give me this water that I may not thirst nor come here to draw.
He saith to her, Go, call thy husband and come here.
The woman answered and said, I have not a husband. Jesus saith to her, Thou saidst well, I have not a husband;
for thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this thou hast spoken truly.
The woman saith to him, Sir, I see that thou art a prophet.
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship.
Jesus saith to her, Woman, believe me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem shall ye worship the Father.
Ye worship what ye know not: we worship what we know, for salvation is of the Jews.
But an hour is coming and now is when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeketh such as his worshippers.
God is a Spirit; and his worshippers must worship [him] in spirit and truth.
The woman saith to him, I know that Messiah is coming, that is called Christ: when he shall come, he will tell us all things.
Jesus saith to her, I that speak to thee am [he].
And upon this came his disciples, and wondered that he was speaking with a woman: none however said, What seekest thou? or why speakest thou with her?
The woman then left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the men,
Come, see a man who told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
They went out of the city and were coming unto him.
Meanwhile the disciples were asking him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
But he said to them, I have food to eat which ye do not know.
Then the disciples said to one another, Hath anyone brought him to eat?
Jesus saith to them, It is my food that I should do the will of him that sent me, and finish his work.
Do not ye say that there are yet four months and the harvest cometh? Lo, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and behold the fields, for they are white unto harvest already.
He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal, that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
For in this is the saying true, It is one that soweth and another that reapeth.
I sent you to reap that on which ye have not toiled: others have toiled, and ye have entered into their toil.
But out of that city many of the Samaritans believed on him because of the word of the woman as she bore witness, He told me all things that [ever] I did.
When therefore the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to abide with them. And he abode there two days,
and many more believed because of his word.
And they said to the woman, No longer on account of thy saying do we believe, for we have ourselves heard and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.
And after the two days he went forth thence into Galilee.
For Jesus himself testified that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
When therefore he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they too went unto the feast.
He came therefore again into Cana of Galilee where he made the water wine. And there was a certain courtier whose son was sick at Capernaum.
He, having heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, went away unto him and asked that he would go down and heal his son, for he was about to die.
Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe.
The courtier said unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
Jesus saith to him, Go, thy son liveth. [And] the man believed the word which Jesus had said unto him, and went his way.
But as he was now going down, his servants met him and brought [him] word, saying, Thy child liveth.
He inquired therefore from them the hour at which he got better. They said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
The father therefore knew that [it was] at that hour in which Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed and his whole house.
This second sign again did Jesus on coming out of Judea into Galilee.
