1 When there­fore the Lord knew how the Phar­isees had heard that Je­sus made and bap­tized more dis­ci­ples than John, 2 (Though Je­sus him­self bap­tized not, but his dis­ci­ples,) 3 He left Ju­daea, and de­part­ed again into Galilee. 4 And he must needs go through Samaria. 5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sy­char, near to the par­cel of ground that Ja­cob gave to his son Joseph. 6 Now Jacob's well was there. Je­sus there­fore, be­ing wea­ried with his jour­ney, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour. 7 There cometh a wom­an of Samaria to draw wa­ter: Je­sus saith unto her, Give me to drink. 8 (For his dis­ci­ples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) 9 Then saith the wom­an of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, be­ing a Jew, ask­est drink of me, which am a wom­an of Samaria? for the Jews have no deal­ings with the Samar­i­tans. 10 Je­sus an­swered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have giv­en thee liv­ing wa­ter. 11 The wom­an saith unto him, Sir, thou hast noth­ing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that liv­ing wa­ter? 12 Art thou greater than our fa­ther Ja­cob, which gave us the well, and drank there­of him­self, and his chil­dren, and his cat­tle? 13 Je­sus an­swered and said unto her, Whoso­ev­er drin­keth of this wa­ter shall thirst again: 14 But whoso­ev­er drin­keth of the wa­ter that I shall give him shall nev­er thirst; but the wa­ter that I shall give him shall be in him a well of wa­ter spring­ing up into ev­er­last­ing life. 15 The wom­an saith unto him, Sir, give me this wa­ter, that I thirst not, nei­ther come hith­er to draw. 16 Je­sus saith unto her, Go, call thy hus­band, and come hith­er. 17 The wom­an an­swered and said, I have no hus­band. Je­sus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no hus­band: 18 For thou hast had five hus­bands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy hus­band: in that saidst thou tru­ly. 19 The wom­an saith unto him, Sir, I per­ceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fa­thers wor­shipped in this moun­tain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to wor­ship. 21 Je­sus saith unto her, Wom­an, be­lieve me, the hour cometh, when ye shall nei­ther in this moun­tain, nor yet at Jerusalem, wor­ship the Fa­ther. 22 Ye wor­ship ye know not what: we know what we wor­ship: for sal­va­tion is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true wor­ship­pers shall wor­ship the Fa­ther in spir­it and in truth: for the Fa­ther seeketh such to wor­ship him. 24 God is a Spir­it: and they that wor­ship him must wor­ship him in spir­it and in truth. 25 The wom­an saith unto him, I know that Mes­sias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 26 Je­sus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. 27 And upon this came his dis­ci­ples, and mar­velled that he talked with the wom­an: yet no man said, What seek­est thou? or, Why talk­est thou with her? 28 The wom­an then left her wa­ter­pot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, 29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? 30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him. 31 In the mean while his dis­ci­ples prayed him, say­ing, Mas­ter, eat. 32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. 33 There­fore said the dis­ci­ples one to an­oth­er, Hath any man brought him ought to eat? 34 Je­sus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to fin­ish his work. 35 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. 36 And he that reapeth re­ceiveth wages, and gath­ereth fruit unto life eter­nal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may re­joice to­geth­er. 37 And here­in is that say­ing true, One soweth, and an­oth­er reapeth. 38 I sent you to reap that where­on ye be­stowed no labour: oth­er men laboured, and ye are en­tered into their labours. 39 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. 40 So when the Samar­i­tans were come unto him, they be­sought him that he would tar­ry with them: and he abode there two days. 41 And many more be­lieved be­cause of his own word; 42 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. 43 Now af­ter two days he de­part­ed thence, and went into Galilee. 44 For Je­sus him­self tes­ti­fied, that a prophet hath no hon­our in his own coun­try. 45 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. 46 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. 47 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. 48 Then said Je­sus unto him, Ex­cept ye see signs and won­ders, ye will not be­lieve. 49 The no­ble­man saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. 50 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. 51 And as he was now go­ing down, his ser­vants met him, and told him, say­ing, Thy son liveth. 52 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. 53 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. 54 This is again the sec­ond mir­a­cle that Je­sus did, when he was come out of Ju­daea into Galilee.
