* When therefore the Lord knew , that the Pharisees had heard Jesus , more disciples , is making and immersing , than John , * although indeed , Jesus himself , was not immersing , but his disciples , * he left Judaea , and departed again into Galilee . * Now he must needs pass through Samaria . * He cometh , therefore , unto a city of Samaria , called Sychar , near the parcel of ground which Jacob gave unto Joseph his son . * Now Jacobs fountain was there . Jesus , therefore , having become toil-worn with the journey , was sitting thus , upon the fountain . It was about the sixth hour . * There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water . Jesus saith unto her Give me to drink ! * for , his disciples , had gone away into the city , that , food , they might buy . * The Samaritan woman , therefore , saith unto him How dost , thou , being , a Jew , ask to drink , of me , who am , a Samaritan woman ? for , Jews , have no dealings with Samaritans . * Jesus answered , and said unto her If thou hadst known the free gift of God , and who it is that is saying unto thee , Give me to drink , thou , wouldst have asked him , and he would have given thee living water . * She saith unto him Sir ! not even a bucket , hast thou , and , the well , is , deep : Whence , then , hast thou the living water ? * Art , thou , greater than , our father Jacob , who gave us the well , and , himself , out of it drank , and his sons , and his flocks ? * Jesus answered , and said unto her Whosoever drinketh of this water , will thirst , again ; * But , whosoever shall drink of the water which , I , will give him , in nowise shall thirst , unto times age-abiding , but , the water which I will give him , shall become , within him , a fountain of water , springing up unto life age-abiding . * The woman saith unto him Sir ! give me this water , that I thirst not , neither be coming hither to draw . * He saith unto her Go , call thy husband , and come hither ! * The woman answered , and said unto him I have no husband . Jesus saith unto her Well , saidst thou , A husband , I have not ; * for , five husbands , thou hast had , and , now , he whom thou hast , is not thy , husband : This true thing , hast thou spoken . * The woman saith unto him Sir ! I perceive that , a prophet , art , thou : * Our fathers , in this mountain , worshipped ; and , ye , say , that , in Jerusalem , is the place , where , to worship , it behoveth . * Jesus saith unto her Believe me , woman ! There cometh an hour , when , neither in this mountain , nor yet in Jerusalem , shall ye worship the Father . * Ye , worship , that which ye know not ; We , worship , that which we know ; because , salvation , is , of the Jews . * But there cometh an hour , and , now , is , when , the real worshippers , shall worship the Father in spirit and truth ; for , even the Father , is seeking , such as these , as his worshippers . * God is , spirit ; and , they that worship him , in spirit and truth , must needs worship . * The woman saith unto him I know that , Messiah , cometh , who is called Christ , Whensoever , he , shall come , he will tell us , everything . * Jesus saith unto her I , that speak unto thee , am he . * And , hereupon , came his disciples , and they began to marvel , that , with a woman , he was talking . No one , however , said What seekest thou ? or Why talkest thou with her ? * The woman , therefore , left her water-vessel , and went away into the city , and saith unto the men * Come ! see a man , that told me all things that ever I did : Can , this , be , the Christ ? * They came forth out of the city , and were coming unto him . * In the meantime , the disciples were requesting him , saying Rabbi ! eat . * But , he , said unto them I , have , food , to eat , of which , ye , know not . * The disciples , therefore , began to say , one to another Hath anyone brought him , to eat ? * Jesus saith unto them My food , is , that I should do the will of him that sent me , and complete , his work . * Are , ye , not saying Yet , a fourmonth , it is , and , the harvest , cometh ? Lo ! I say unto you Lift up your eyes , and gaze at the fields , that , white , are they unto , harvest . Already , * he that reapeth , receiveth , a reward , and gathereth fruit unto life age-abiding ; that , he that soweth , together may rejoice , with him that reapeth . * For , herein , doth the saying , hold good , One , is the sower , and , another , is the reaper . * I , sent you forth , to be reaping that whereon , ye , have not toiled : Others , have toiled , and , ye , into their toil , have entered . * And , out of that city , many , believed on himof the Samaritans , by reason of the word of the woman in bearing witness He told me all things that ever I did . * When , therefore , the Samaritans came unto him , they went on to request him to abide with them ; and he abode there two days . * And , many more , believed by reason of his discourse ; * and , unto the woman , began to say No longer , by reason of thy talk , do we believe ; for , we ourselves , have heard , and know that , This One , is , in truth , the Saviour of the world . * But , after the two days , he went forth from thence , into Galilee . * For , Jesus himself , bare witness , that , a prophet , in his own fatherland , hath not , honour . * So , when he came into Galilee , the Galilaeans welcomed him , having seen , all things , whatsoever he had done in Jerusalem during the feast ; for , they also , went unto the feast . * So he came again into Cana of Galilee , where he had made the water , wine . And there was a certain courtier , whose son was sick , in Capernaum . * The same , hearing that Jesus had come out of Judaea into Galilee , came away unto him , and began requesting him , that he would come down and heal his son ; for he was on the point of dying . * Jesus therefore said unto him Except , signs and wonders , ye see , in nowise will ye believe . * The courtier saith unto him Sir ! come down , ere my child die ! * Jesus saith unto him Be going thy way : thy son , liveth ! And the man believed in the word which Jesus spake to him , and at once went his way . * And , when he was even now going down , his servants , met him , saying , that , his boy , was living . * So he enquired the hour , from them , when he began , to amend . They said , therefore , unto him Yesterday , at the seventh hour , the fever left him . * So the father took note that it was , in that hour , wherein Jesus said unto him Thy son , liveth ! and he believed , he , and all his house . * Now , this again , as , a second sign , Jesus did , after coming out of Judaea into Galilee .
