¹ When+ the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, ² (Though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples did), ³ He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee. ⁴ And he needed to go through Samaria. ⁵ Then he came 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 from his journey, sat+ by the well: and it was about the sixth hour. ⁷ There came a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus said to her, Give me a drink. ⁸ (For his disciples were gone away to the city to buy food .) ⁹ Then the woman of Samaria said to him, How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me+ , a woman of Samaria? For the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. ¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that said to you, Give me a drink; you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water. ¹¹ The woman said to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: so from where do you have that living water? ¹² + Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it+ himself, and his children, and his cattle? ¹³ Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again: ¹⁴ But whoever+ drinks of the water that I will give him will never+ + thirst; but the water that I will give him will be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. ¹⁵ The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst no more, or have to come here to draw. ¹⁶ Jesus said to her, Go, call your husband, and come here. ¹⁷ The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have said well, I have no husband: ¹⁸ For you have had five husbands; and he who you now have is not your husband: in that you spoke truly. ¹⁹ The woman said to him, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. ²⁰ Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men should go to worship. ²¹ Jesus said to her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes+ , when you will neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. ²² You worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. ²³ But the hour comes, and now it is here, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for+ the Father seeks such people to worship him. ²⁴ God is Spirit: and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. ²⁵ The woman said to him, I know that Messiah comes, who is called Christ: when he comes, he will tell us all things. ²⁶ Jesus said to her, I who speak to you am [he]. ²⁷ And on this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seeks you? or, Why talks you with her? ²⁸ The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and said 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 to him. ³¹ + In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. ³² But he said to them, I have meat to eat that you know not of. ³³ Therefore said the disciples one to another+ , Has any man brought him should to eat? ³⁴ Jesus said to them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. ³⁵ Say not you, There are yet four months, and then comes harvest? see, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. ³⁶ And he that reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to life eternal: that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together. ³⁷ And here is+ is that saying true, One sows+ , and another reaps. ³⁸ I sent you to reap that on which you bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and you are entered into their labours. ³⁹ And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in him because of the words of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did. ⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans were come to him, they asked him that he would tarry with them: and he stayed there two days. ⁴¹ And many more believed because of his own word; ⁴² And said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of your 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+ from there, and went into Galilee. ⁴⁴ For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet has 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 to 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 to him, and asked him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. ⁴⁸ Then said Jesus to him, Except you see signs and wonders, you will not believe. ⁴⁹ The nobleman said to him, Sir, come down ere my child die. ⁵⁰ Jesus said to him, Go your way; your son lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken to him, and he went his way. ⁵¹ And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son lives. ⁵² Then enquired he of them the hour when+ he began to amend. And they said to 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 to him, Thy son lives: 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.
