* Jesus , knowing that the Pharisees were informed that he made and immersed more disciples than John , * (though it was not Jesus himself , but his disciples , who immersed ,) * left Judea , and returned to Galilee . * Being obliged to pass through Samaria , * he came to a Samaritan city , called Sychar , near the heritage which Jacob gave his son Joseph . * Now Jacob 's well was there . And Jesus , wearied with the journey , sat down by the well , it being about the sixth hour . * A woman of Samaria , having come to draw water , Jesus said to her , * (for his disciples were gone into the city to buy food ;) * the Samaritan woman answered , How is it , that you , who are a Jew , ask drink of me , who am a Samaritan ? (For the Jews have no friendly intercourse with the Samaritans .) * Jesus replied , * She answered , Sir , you have no bucket , and the well is deep : whence , then , have you the living water ? * Are you greater than our father Jacob , who gave us the well , and drank of it himself , and his sons , and his cattle ? * Jesus replied , lont @John:4:14 " /> * The woman answered , Sir , give me this water , that I may never be thirsty , nor come hither to draw . * Jesus said to her , * She answered , I have no husband . Jesus replied , lont @John:4:18 " /> * The woman said , Sir , I perceive that you are a prophet . * Our fathers worshiped on this mountain ; and you say , that in Jerusalem is the place , where me ought to worship . * Jesus answered , lont @John:4:22 " /> lont @John:4:23 " /> lont @John:4:24 " /> * The woman replied , I know that the Messiah comes , (that is , Christ ;) when he is come , he will teach us all things . * Jesus said to her , * Upon this , his disciples came , and wondered that he talked with a woman ; yet none of them said , What do you seek ? or , Why do you talk with her ? * Then the woman left her pitcher , and having gone into the city , said to the people , * Come , see a man who has told me all that I ever did . Is this not the Messiah ? * They , accordingly , went out of the city , and came to him . * Meanwhile , the disciples entreating him , said , Rabbi , eat . * He answered , * Then said his disciples , one to another , Has any man brought him food ? * Jesus answered , lont @John:4:35 " /> lont @John:4:36 " /> lont @John:4:37 " /> lont @John:4:38 " /> * Now , many Samaritans of that city believed him , on the testimony of the woman , who said , He told me all that ever I did . * When , therefore , they came to him , they besought him to stay with them ; and he staid there two days . * And many more believed , because of what they heard from himself ; * and they said to the woman , It is not , now , on account of what you have reported , that we believe ; for we have heard him ourselves , and know that this is truly the Saviour of the world , the Messiah . * After the two days , Jesus departed , and went to Galilee , * for he had himself declared that a prophet is not regarded in his own country . * Being come into Galilee , he was well received by the Galileans , who had seen all that he did at Jerusalem , during the festival ; for they likewise attended the festival . * Then Jesus returned to Cana , of Galilee , where he had made the water wine . And there was a certain officer of the court , whose son lay sick at Capernaum , * who having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee , went to him , and entreated him to come and cure his son , who was dying . * Jesus said to him , * The officer answered , Come , Sir , before my child die . * Jesus replied , And the man believed the word which Jesus had spoken , and went his way . * As he was returning , his servants met him , and informed him that his son was well . * He then inquired of them the hour when he began to get better . They answered , Yesterday , at the seventh hour , the fever left him . * Then the father knew , that it was the same hour in which Jesus said to him , and he , and all his family , believed . * This second miracle Jesus performed , after returning from Judea to Galilee .
