John:4:31-54
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In the mean while his disciples prayed him ,
saying ,
Master ,
eat .
*
But he said unto them ,
I have meat to eat that ye know not of .
*
Therefore said the disciples one to another ,
Hath any man brought him ought to eat ?
*
Jesus saith unto them ,
My meat is to do the will of him that sent me ,
and to finish his work .
*
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 .
*
And he that reapeth receiveth wages ,
and gathereth fruit unto life eternal :
that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together .
*
And herein is that saying true ,
One soweth ,
and another reapeth .
*
I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour :
other men laboured ,
and ye are entered into their labours .
*
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 .
*
So when the Samaritans were come unto him ,
they besought him that he would tarry with them :
and he abode there two days .
*
And many more believed because of his own word ;
*
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 .
*
Now after two days he departed thence ,
and went into Galilee .
*
For Jesus himself testified ,
that a prophet hath no honour in his own country .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
Then said Jesus unto him ,
Except ye see signs and wonders ,
ye will not believe .
*
The nobleman saith unto him ,
Sir ,
come down ere my child die .
*
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 .
*
And as he was now going down ,
his servants met him ,
and told him ,
saying ,
Thy son liveth .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
This is again the second miracle that Jesus did ,
when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee .
