John:4:31-54

*
In the meantime His disciples were asking Him ,
saying ,
Master ,
eat .
*
But He said to them ,
I have food to eat which you do not know .
*
Therefore the disciples said to one another ,
No one brought Him [
anything ]
to eat ?
*
Jesus said to them ,
My food is to do the will of [
Him ]
who sent Me and to finish His work .
*
Do you not say ,
It is ]
yet four months ,
and the harvest comes ?
Behold ,
I say to you ,
Lift up your eyes and look on the fields ,
for they are white to harvest already .
*
And he who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to life eternal ,
so that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together .
*
And in this is the saying true ,
One sows and another reaps .
*
I sent you to reap that on which you bestowed no labor .
Other men labored ,
and you have entered into their labor .
*
And many of the Samaritans of that city believed upon Him because of the saying of the woman ,
who testified ,
He told me all that I ever did .
*
Then as the Samaritans had come to Him ,
they begged Him that He would stay with them .
And He stayed there two days .
*
And many more believed because of His own word .
*
And they said to the woman ,
Now we believe ,
not because of your saying ,
for we have heard [
Him ]
ourselves and know that this is truly the Christ ,
the Savior of the world .
*
And after two days He departed from there and went into Galilee .
*
For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in [
his ]
own native-place .
*
Then when He had come into Galilee ,
the Galileans received Him ,
having seen all the things that He did at Jerusalem at the feast ;
for they also went to the feast .
*
Then Jesus came again to 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 had come out of Judea into Galilee ,
he went to Him and begged Him that He would come down and heal his son ,
for he was at the point of death .
*
Then Jesus said to him ,
Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe .
*
The nobleman said to Him ,
Sir ,
come down before my child dies .
*
Jesus said to him ,
Go ,
your son lives .
And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken to him ,
and he went away .
*
And as he was now going down ,
his servants met him and told [
him ],
saying ,
Your son lives .
*
Then he asked of them the hour when he began to get better .
And they said to him ,
Yesterday [
at the ]
seventh hour the fever left him .
*
So the father knew that [
it was ]
at the same hour in which Jesus said to him ,
Your son lives .
And he himself believed ,
and his whole house .
*
This [
is ]
the second miracle Jesus did ,
when He had come out of Judea into Galilee .
