John:4:5 @
He cometh ,
therefore ,
to a city of Samaria ,
called Sychar ,
near to the place that Jacob gave to Joseph his son ;
ylt @
John:4:6 @
and there was there a well of Jacob .
Jesus therefore having been weary from the journeying ,
was sitting thus on the well ;
it was as it were the sixth hour ;
ylt @
John:4:7 @
there cometh a woman out of Samaria to draw water .
Jesus saith to her , '
Give me to drink ;'
ylt @
John:4:8 @
for his disciples were gone away to the city ,
that they may buy victuals ;
ylt @
John:4:9 @
the Samaritan woman therefore saith to him , '
How dost thou ,
being a Jew ,
ask drink from me ,
being a Samaritan woman ?'
for Jews have no dealing with Samaritans .
ylt @
John:4:10 @
Jesus answered and said to her , '
If thou hadst known the gift of God ,
and who it is who is saying to thee ,
Give me to drink ,
thou wouldest have asked him ,
and he would have given thee living water .'
ylt @
John:4:11 @
The woman saith to him , '
Sir ,
thou hast not even a vessel to draw with ,
and the well is deep ;
whence ,
then ,
hast thou the living water ?
ylt @
John:4:12 @
Art thou greater than our father Jacob ,
who did give us the well ,
and himself out of it did drink ,
and his sons ,
and his cattle ?'
ylt @
John:4:13 @
Jesus answered and said to her , '
Every one who is drinking of this water shall thirst again ;
ylt @
John:4:14 @
but whoever may drink of the water that I will give him ,
may not thirst --
to the age ;
and the water that I will give him shall become in him a well of water ,
springing up to life age-during .'
ylt @
John:4:15 @
The woman saith unto him , '
Sir ,
give me this water ,
that I may not thirst ,
nor come hither to draw .'
ylt @
John:4:16 @
Jesus saith to her , '
Go ,
call thy husband ,
and come hither ;'
ylt @
John:4:17 @
the woman answered and said , '
I have not a husband .'
Jesus saith to her , '
Well didst thou say --
A husband I have not ;
ylt @
John:4:18 @
for five husbands thou hast had ,
and ,
now ,
he whom thou hast is not thy husband ;
this hast thou said truly .'
ylt @
John:4:19 @
The woman saith to him , '
Sir ,
I perceive that thou art a prophet ;
ylt @
John:4:20 @
our fathers in this mountain did worship ,
and ye --
ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where it behoveth to worship .'
ylt @
John:4:21 @
Jesus saith to her , '
Woman ,
believe me ,
that there doth come an hour ,
when neither in this mountain ,
nor in Jerusalem ,
shall ye worship the Father ;
ylt @
John:4:22 @
ye worship what ye have not known ;
we worship what we have known ,
because the salvation is of the Jews ;
ylt @
John:4:23 @
but ,
there cometh an hour ,
and it now is ,
when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth ,
for the Father also doth seek such to worship him ;
ylt @
John:4:24 @
God [
is ]
a Spirit ,
and those worshipping Him ,
in spirit and truth it doth behove to worship .'
ylt @
John:4:25 @
The woman saith to him , '
I have known that Messiah doth come ,
who is called Christ ,
when that one may come ,
he will tell us all things ;'
ylt @
John:4:26 @
Jesus saith to her , '
I am [
he ],
who am speaking to thee .'
ylt @
John:4:27 @
And upon this came his disciples ,
and were wondering that with a woman he was speaking ,
no one ,
however ,
said , '
What seekest thou ?'
or '
Why speakest thou with her ?'
ylt @
John:4:28 @
The woman then left her water-jug ,
and went away to the city ,
and saith to the men ,
ylt @
John:4:29 @'
Come ,
see a man ,
who told me all things --
as many as I did ;
is this the Christ ?'
ylt @
John:4:30 @
They went forth therefore out of the city ,
and were coming unto him .
ylt @
John:4:31 @
And in the meanwhile his disciples were asking him ,
saying , '
Rabbi ,
eat ;'
ylt @
John:4:32 @
and he said to them , '
I have food to eat that ye have not known .'
ylt @
John:4:33 @
The disciples then said one to another , '
Did any one bring him anything to eat ?'
ylt @
John:4:34 @
Jesus saith to them , '
My food is ,
that I may do the will of Him who sent me ,
and may finish His work ;
ylt @
John:4:35 @
do not say that it is yet four months ,
and the harvest cometh ;
lo ,
I say to you ,
Lift up your eyes ,
and see the fields ,
that they are white unto harvest already .
ylt @
John:4:36 @'
And he who is reaping doth receive a reward ,
and doth gather fruit to life age-during ,
that both he who is sowing and he who is reaping may rejoice together ;
ylt @
John:4:37 @
for in this the saying is the true one ,
that one is the sower and another the reaper .
ylt @
John:4:38 @
I sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured ;
others laboured ,
and ye into their labour have entered .
