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 comes₃ 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 comes₃ a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus says₃ unto her, Give me to drink.
8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
9 Then says₃ the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that you₁, being a Jew, ask_t 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 you₁ knew_t the gift of God, and who it is that says₃ to you₁, Give me to drink; you₁ would_t have asked of him, and he would have given you₁ living water.
11 The woman says₃ unto him, Sir, you₁ have_t nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then have_t you₁ that living water?
12 Are₁ you₁ 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 drinks₃ of this water shall thirst again:
14 But whosoever drinks₃ 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 says₃ unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
16 Jesus says₃ unto her, Go, call your₁ husband, and come hither.
17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, You₁ have_t well said, I have no husband:
18 For you₁ have_t had five husbands; and he whom you₁ now have_t is not your₁ husband: in that said_t you₁ truly.
19 The woman says₃ unto him, Sir, I perceive that you₁ are₁ a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and you₂ say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jesus says₃ unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes₃, when you₂ shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 You₂ worship you₂ know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour comes₃, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks₃ 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 says₃ unto him, I know that Messias comes₃, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
26 Jesus says₃ unto her, I that speak unto you₁ am he.
27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seek_t you₁? or, Why talk_t you₁ with her?
28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and says₃ 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 you₂ know not of.
33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Has₃ any man brought him ought to eat?
34 Jesus says₃ unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
35 Say not you₂, There are yet four months, and then comes₃ 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 reaps₃ receives₃ wages, and gathers₃ fruit unto life eternal: that both he that sows₃ and he that reaps₃ may rejoice together.
37 And herein is that saying true, One sows₃, and another reaps₃.
38 I sent you to reap that whereon you₂ bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and you₂ 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 your₁ 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 has₃ 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 you₂ see signs and wonders, you₂ will not believe.
49 The nobleman says₃ unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
50 Jesus says₃ unto him, Go your₁ way; your₁ son lives₃. 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, Your₁ son lives₃.
52 Then enquired 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, Your₁ son lives₃: 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.
