|
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 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, 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.
