John 4

1 When, therefore, the Lord knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus was making and immersing more disciples than John 2 (although Jesus Himself did not immerse, but His disciples), 3 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee. 4 And it was necessary that He should go through Samaria. 5 He cometh, therefore, to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph; 6 and Jacob’s well was there. Jesus, therefore, being wearied with His journey, was sitting thus at the well. It was about the sixth hour. 7 There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith to her, 8 For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy bread. 9 The Samaritan woman, therefore, says to Him, “How is it that Thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans). 10 Jesus answered and said to her, 11 She says to Him, “Sir, Thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Whence, therefore, hast Thou the living water 12 Art Thou greater than our Father Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself drank of it, and his sons, and his cattle?" 13 Jesus answered and said to her, 15 The woman saith to Him, “Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, neither come all the way hither to draw." 16 He saith to her, 17 The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.” Jesus saith to her, 19 The woman says to Him, “Sir, I perceive that Thou art a Prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship." 21 Jesus saith to her, hour is coming when ye will, neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.} 23 hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for, indeed, the Father seeketh such to be His worshipers.} 25 The woman says to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming, Who is called Christ; when He cometh, He will tell us all things." 26 Jesus saith to her, .”} 27 And upon this came His disciples: and they were wondering that He was talking with a woman; yet no one said, “What seekest Thou?” or, “Why talkest Thou with her?" 28 The woman, therefore, left her waterjar, and went away into the city, and says to the men, 29 “Come, see a Man Who told me all things that I did: can This be the Christ?" 30 They went forth out of the city, and were coming to Him. 31 In the meantime the disciples were entreating Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat." 32 But He said to them, 33 The disciples, therefore, said to one another, “Has any one brought Him to eat?" 34 Jesus saith to them, 39 And many of the Samaritans from that city believed on Him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “He told me all that I did." 40 When, therefore, the Samaritans came to Him, they kept asking Him to abide with them: and He abode there two days. 41 And many more believed because of His word; 42 and they said to the woman, “Now we no longer believe because of your saying; for we ourselves have heard, and know that This is, in truth, the Savior of the world." 43 And, after the two days, He went forth thence into Galilee; 44 for Jesus Himself testified, that a prophet has no honor in his own country. 45 When, therefore, He came into Galilee, the Galilaeans received Him, having seen all that He did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they also went to the feast. 46 He came, therefore, again into Cana of Galilee, where He made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. 47 This man, having heard that Jesus had come out of Judaea into Galilee, went to Him, and was asking Him, that He would come down, and heal his son, for he was about to die. 48 Jesus, therefore, said to him, 49 The nobleman says to Him, “Sir, Come down, before my child die!" 50 Jesus saith to him, The man believed the word that Jesus spake to him, and went his way. 51 And, as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son was living. 52 He inquired of them, therefore, the hour when he began to mend. They said, therefore, to him, “Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him." 53 The father, therefore, knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, and he himself believed, and his whole house. 54 This again is a second sign Jesus did, having come out of Judaea into Galilee.
