JOH-4:1 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard

that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

JOH-4:2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

JOH-4:3 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.

JOH-4:4 And he must needs go through Samaria.

JOH-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.

JOH-4:6 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.

JOH-4:7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus

saith unto her, Give me to drink.

JOH-4:8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy

meat.)

JOH-4:9 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.

JOH-4:10 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.

JOH-4:11 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?

JOH-4:12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us

the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his

cattle?

JOH-4:13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of

this water shall thirst again:

JOH-4:14 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.

JOH-4:15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that

I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

JOH-4:16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come

hither.

JOH-4:17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus

said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

JOH-4:18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now

hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

JOH-4:19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art

a prophet.

JOH-4:20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say,

that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

JOH-4:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour

cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at

Jerusalem, worship the Father.

JOH-4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship:

for salvation is of the Jews.

JOH-4:23 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.

JOH-4:24 God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must

worship [him] in spirit and in truth.

JOH-4:25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh,

which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all

things.

JOH-4:26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he].

JOH-4:27 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?

JOH-4:28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into

the city, and saith to the men,

JOH-4:29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I

did: is not this the Christ?

JOH-4:30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

JOH-4:31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying,

Master, eat.

JOH-4:32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know

not of.

JOH-4:33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any

man brought him [ought] to eat?

JOH-4:34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him

that sent me, and to finish his work.

JOH-4:35 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.

JOH-4:36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth

fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that

reapeth may rejoice together.

JOH-4:37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another

reapeth.

JOH-4:38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour:

other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.

JOH-4:39 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.

JOH-4:40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they

besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there

two days.

JOH-4:41 And many more believed because of his own word;

JOH-4:42 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.

JOH-4:43 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into

Galilee.

JOH-4:44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no

honour in his own country.

JOH-4:45 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.

JOH-4:46 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.

JOH-4:47 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.

JOH-4:48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and

wonders, ye will not believe.

JOH-4:49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my

child die.

JOH-4:50 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.

JOH-4:51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and

told [him], saying, Thy son liveth.

JOH-4:52 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.

JOH-4:53 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.

JOH-4:54 This [is] again the second miracle [that] Jesus did,

when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
