1. When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
|
1.
|
2. (although Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),
|
2.
|
3. he left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.
|
3.
|
4. And he must needs pass through Samaria.
|
4.
|
5. So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:
|
5.
|
6. and Jacobs well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
|
6.
|
7. There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
|
7.
|
8. For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.
|
8.
|
9. The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
|
9.
|
10. Jesus answered and said unto 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.
|
10.
|
11. The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou that living water?
|
11.
|
12. Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
|
12.
|
13. Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
|
13.
|
14. but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life.
|
14.
|
15. The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw.
|
15.
|
16. Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
|
16.
|
17. The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:
|
17.
|
18. for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.
|
18.
|
19. The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
|
19.
|
20. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
|
20.
|
21. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.
|
21.
|
22. Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
|
22.
|
23. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers.
|
23.
|
24. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
|
24.
|
25. The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh (he that is called Christ): when he is come, he will declare unto us all things.
|
25.
|
26. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
|
26.
|
27. And upon this came his disciples; and they marvelled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?
|
27.
|
28. So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the people,
|
28.
|
29. Come, see a man, who told me all things that ever I did: can this be the Christ?
|
29.
|
30. They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
|
30.
|
31. In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
|
31.
|
32. But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not.
|
32.
|
33. The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him aught to eat?
|
33.
|
34. Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work.
|
34.
|
35. Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white already unto harvest.
|
35.
|
36. He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
|
36.
|
37. For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
|
37.
|
38. I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not labored: others have labored, and ye are entered into their labor.
|
38.
|
39. And from that city many of the Samaritans believed on him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all things that ever I did.
|
39.
|
40. So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them: and he abode there two days.
|
40.
|
41. And many more believed because of his word;
|
41.
|
42. and they said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy speaking: for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.
|
42.
|
43. And after the two days he went forth from thence into Galilee.
|
43.
|
44. For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honor in his own country.
|
44.
|
45. So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
|
45.
|
46. He came therefore again unto 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 unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.
|
47.
|
48. Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe.
|
48.
|
49. The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
|
49.
|
50. Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word that Jesus spake unto him, and he went his way.
|
50.
|
51. And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son lived.
|
51.
|
52. So he inquired of them the hour when he began to amend. They said therefore unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
|
52.
|
53. So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.
|
53.
|
54. This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judaea into Galilee.
|
54.
