1. When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
|
1.
|
2. (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
|
2.
|
3. He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
|
3.
|
4. And he must needs go through Samaria.
|
4.
|
5. Then comes he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
|
5.
|
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.
|
6.
|
7. There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus said to her, Give me to drink.
|
7.
|
8. (For his disciples were gone away to the city to buy meat.)
|
8.
|
9. Then said the woman of Samaria to him, How is it that you, being a Jew, ask drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
|
9.
|
10. Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that said to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.
|
10.
|
11. The woman said to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from where then have you that living water?
|
11.
|
12. Are you greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
|
12.
|
13. Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinks of this water shall thirst again:
|
13.
|
14. But whoever drinks 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.
|
14.
|
15. The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come here to draw.
|
15.
|
16. Jesus said to her, Go, call your husband, and come here.
|
16.
|
17. The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have well said, I have no husband:
|
17.
|
18. For you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband: in that said you truly.
|
18.
|
19. The woman said to him, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
|
19.
|
20. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
|
20.
|
21. Jesus said to her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
|
21.
|
22. You worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
|
22.
|
23. But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him.
|
23.
|
24. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
|
24.
|
25. The woman said to him, I know that Messias comes, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
|
25.
|
26. Jesus said to her, I that speak to you am he.
|
26.
|
27. And on this came his disciples, and marveled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seek you? or, Why talk you with her?
|
27.
|
28. The woman then left her water pot, and went her way into the city, and said to the men,
|
28.
|
29. Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
|
29.
|
30. Then they went out of the city, and came to him.
|
30.
|
31. In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
|
31.
|
32. But he said to them, I have meat to eat that you know not of.
|
32.
|
33. Therefore said the disciples one to another, Has any man brought him ought to eat?
|
33.
|
34. Jesus said to them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
|
34.
|
35. Say not you, There are yet four months, and then comes harvest? behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
|
35.
|
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.
|
36.
|
37. And herein is that saying true, One sows, and another reaps.
|
37.
|
38. I sent you to reap that where on you bestowed no labor: other men labored, and you are entered into their labors.
|
38.
|
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.
|
39.
|
40. So when the Samaritans were come to him, they sought him that he would tarry with them: and he stayed there two days.
|
40.
|
41. And many more believed because of his own word;
|
41.
|
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 Savior of the world.
|
42.
|
43. Now after two days he departed there, and went into Galilee.
|
43.
|
44. For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
|
44.
|
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.
|
45.
|
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.
|
46.
|
47. When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went to him, and sought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
|
47.
|
48. Then said Jesus to him, Except you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.
|
48.
|
49. The nobleman said to him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
|
49.
|
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.
|
50.
|
51. And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Your son lives.
|
51.
|
52. Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
|
52.
|
53. So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said to him, Your son lives: and himself believed, and his whole house.
|
53.
|
54. This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
|
54.
