サマリヤ人の女
4 さて、イエスのもとにはぞくぞくと人々が詰めかけました。バプテスマ（洗礼）を受けて弟子になった者の数はヨハネよりも多いといううわさが、パリサイ人たちの耳に入りました。イエスはこのことを知ると、 2 ――もっとも、実際にバプテスマを授けていたのはイエス自身ではなく、弟子たちでしたが―― 3 ユダヤを去り、またガリラヤ地方へ行かれました。 4 その途中で、どうしてもサマリヤを通らなければなりませんでした。 5-6 サマリヤのスカルという村にさしかかったのは、ちょうど正午ごろでした。そこに、昔ヤコブが息子ヨセフに与えた土地があり、ヤコブの井戸がありました。日がかんかんに照りつける長い道のりを歩いて来られたイエスは疲れて、井戸のそばに腰をおろしました。
7 まもなくサマリヤ人の女が一人、水を汲みに来ました。イエスは、「すみませんが、水を一杯下さい」と声をおかけになりました。 8 そのとき弟子たちは、村に食べ物を買いに行っており、ほかにはだれもいませんでした。 9 女はびっくりして言いました。「まあ、あなたはユダヤ人ではありませんか。サマリヤ人の私に、どうして水をくれなどと頼むのですか。」当時、ユダヤ人はサマリヤ人を見下し、口をきこうとさえしなかったのです。 10 「もし、神があなたにどんなにすばらしい贈り物を用意しておられるか、また、わたしがだれなのかを知っていれば、あなたのほうから、いのちの水を下さいと願ったでしょう。」 11 「そんなこと言っても、あなたは水を汲むおけも綱も持っていないのですよ。この井戸はとても深いのです。そのいのちの水を、いったいどこから汲むのですか。 12 あなたは、私たちの先祖ヤコブ様よりも偉いと言うのですか。ヤコブ様はこの井戸を私たちにくれました。ヤコブ様も、その子孫も家畜もみんな、この井戸の水を喜んで飲んだのです。これより良い水をくれると言うのですか。」 13 イエスは言われました。「この水を飲んでも、すぐにまた、のどが渇きます。 14 けれども、わたしがあげる水を飲めば、絶対に渇くことはありません。わたしがあげる水は、それを飲む人のうちで永久にかれない泉となり、いつまでもその人を永遠のいのちで潤すのです。」 15 「先生。そのような水があるなら、私に下さい。そうすればのども渇かないし、毎日こんな遠くまで歩いて、水汲みに来なくてすむもの。」 16 「帰って、夫を連れて来なさい。」 17-18 「……。私、結婚なんかしていません。」「そうですね。あなたは五回も結婚したけれど、今いっしょに暮らしている男は、確かに夫ではありません。」 19 「先生。あなたは預言者でしょう。 20 だったら教えてください。ユダヤ人は、礼拝の場所はエルサレムだけだと言いはるし、サマリヤ人は、私たちの先祖が礼拝したこのゲリジム山だと言っています。どうしてなのですか？」 21-24 「いいですか。父なる神を礼拝する場所は、この山か、それともエルサレムかなどと、こだわる必要のない時が来ます。大切なのは、どこで礼拝するかではありません。どのように礼拝するかです。霊的な、真心からの礼拝をしているかどうかが問題なのです。神は霊なるお方ですから、正しい礼拝をするには、聖霊の助けが必要です。神はそのような礼拝をしてほしいのです。あなたがたサマリヤ人は、神のことはほとんど何も知らないで礼拝していますが、私たちユダヤ人はよく知っています。救いはユダヤ人を通してこの世に来るのですから。」 25 「私は、キリストと呼ばれるメシヤがおいでになることだけは知っています。その方がおいでになれば、いっさいのことを説明してくださるのでしょう。」 26 「わたしがそのメシヤです。」
27 ちょうどその時、弟子たちが戻って来ました。驚いたことに、イエスが女と話しておられるではありませんか。しかし、どうしてなのか、何を話しているのか尋ねた者はいませんでした。 28 女は水がめを井戸のそばに置いたまま村に帰り、会う人ごとに話しかけました。 29 「ねえ、来て、会ってごらんよ。私のしてきたことを、何もかも言い当てた方がいらっしゃるの。あの方こそキリスト（救い主）に違いないよ。」 30 この誘いに村人たちは、イエスに会おうと、ぞくぞくと押しかけました。
31 そのころ、弟子たちはイエスに、「先生。どうぞお食事を」と勧めましたが、 32 イエスは、「いや、けっこうです。わたしには、あなたがたの知らない食べ物があるのです」と言われました。 33 弟子たちはけげんそうに、「だれかが食べ物を持って来たんだろうか」と口々に言いました。 34 そこでイエスは説明なさいました。「いいですか、わたしの言う食べ物とは、わたしを遣わされた神のお心にかなうことをし、神の仕事をやり遂げることなのです。 35 あなたがたは、『刈り入れはまだ四か月も先のこと、夏も終わりにならなければ始まらない』と思っているようですね。だが、回りをよく見なさい。人のたましいの畑は広々と一面に実り、刈り入れを待つばかりです。 36 やがて、刈り入れをする人たちはたくさんの報酬をもらい、永遠のいのちに入るたましいを天の倉に納めます。その時、種をまいた者も、刈り入れをした者も共々に、大いに喜ぶのです。 37 『一人が種をまき、ほかの人が刈り入れる』ということわざのとおりにです。 38 あなたがたが自分で種まきをしなかった畑に、わたしはあなたがたを遣わしました。ほかの人々が苦労して育てたものを、あなたがたが刈り入れるのです。」
39 スカルの村から押しかけたサマリヤ人の多くは、例の女が、「あの方は、私のしてきたことを何もかも言い当てた」と言うのを聞いて、イエスをメシヤと信じました。 40 彼らは井戸のところに来てイエスにお会いすると、村に滞在してくださいと頼みました。そこでイエスは、二日間滞在しました。 41 その間に、さらに多くの人がイエスのことばを聞いて信じました。 42 人々は女に、「もう私たちは、あなたが話してくれたことを聞いたから信じているのではない。この方が言われることを、じかに聞いたからだ。この方こそ、ほんとうに世の救い主だ」と言いました。
43 さて、その二日後、イエスはスカルの村を去り、ガリラヤへ行かれました。 44 イエスは常々、「預言者は、故郷では尊敬されないものです」と言っておられました。 45 ところが、どうでしょう。ガリラヤの人たちは、大喜びでイエスを迎えたのです。それもそのはず、この人たちは過越の祭りの時にエルサレムにいて、イエスのなさったことを全部見ていたからです。
役人の息子を治す
46 ガリラヤ旅行の途中、イエスはカナの村に行かれました。以前、水をぶどう酒に変えた所です。さて、カペナウムの町に、重病の息子をかかえた政府の役人がいました。 47 イエスがユダヤを出てガリラヤを旅行中だということをうわさで聞き、役人はカナまでやって来ました。そしてイエスにお会いすると、「息子が今にも死にそうです。どうぞカペナウムへおいでになって、治してやってください」と熱心に頼みました。 48 イエスは言われました。「わたしがもっと多くの奇跡を行わなければ、信じようとしないのですか。」 49 「先生。お願いです。子どもが死なないうちにおいでください。」 50 「さあ、家にお帰りなさい。お子さんは治りました。」役人は、イエスのことばを信じ、家へ急ぎました。 51 途中、召使たちが迎えに来て、「ご子息は、すっかりよくなりました」と知らせました。 52 「えっ、いつからだ。」「昨日の午後一時ごろでしょうか、急に熱が下がりました。」 53 それはイエスが、「お子さんは治りました」と言われた時刻とぴったり一致していました。このことがあって、役人と彼の家の者全員が、イエスをメシヤと信じました。
54 これは、イエスがユダヤから来てガリラヤで行われた、第二の奇跡です。

Jesus och kvinnan vid Sykars brunn
4 När Jesus fick veta att fariseerna hade hört att flera kom till honom än till Johannes för att döpas och bli lärjungar -
2 Jesus döpte dem inte själv utan lärjungarna gjorde det -
3 lämnade han Judeen och återvände till Galileen.
4 På vägen dit var han tvungen att gå genom Samarien.
5-6 När han mitt på dagen närmade sig staden Sykar kom han till Jakobs brunn, som ligger på den mark som Jakob gav sin son Josef. Jesus var trött av den långa vandringen och satte sig vid brunnen.
7 Efter en stund kom en samarisk kvinna för att hämta vatten och Jesus bad henne att få lite att dricka.
8 Han var ensam just då för lärjungarna hade gått in till staden för att köpa mat.
9 Hon blev förvånad över att en jude bad en samarisk kvinna som henne om vatten. Judarna brukade inte ens vilja ha något med dem att göra.
10 Han svarade: Om du bara visste vilken underbar gåva Gud har i beredskap åt dig, och om du anade vem jag är, skulle du i stället be mig om det vatten som leder till liv.
11 Men du har ju varken rep eller hink, sa hon, och det här är en mycket djup brunn. Varifrån ska du få det vattnet?
12 Du är väl inte större än vår förfader Jakob? Kan du ge mig bättre vatten än det som han och hans söner och boskap tyckte så mycket om?
13 Jesus svarade att de som dricker av det vattnet snart blir törstiga igen.
14 Men det vatten jag ger dem, sa han, blir en ständig källa som väller fram inom dem och som alltid flödar med evigt liv.
15 Herre, sa kvinnan. Ge mig lite av det vattnet. Sedan behöver jag aldrig vara törstig mer och gå den långa vägen hit ut varje dag.
16 Gå och hämta din man, sa Jesus till henne.
17-18 Men jag är ju inte gift, svarade hon.Alldeles riktigt, sa Jesus. Du har haft fem män, och du är inte heller gift med den man som du bor ihop med nu. Du kunde inte sagt ett sannare ord.
19 Herre, sa kvinnan. Du måste vara en profet.
20 Men säg mig hur kommer det sig att ni judar påstår att Jerusalem är den enda plats där man ska fira gudstjänst, medan vi samarier menar att det ska ske här på det berg där våra förfäder firade sina gudstjänster?
21-22 ,
23-24 Jesus förklarade: Den tid kommer när människor inte längre behöver diskutera om de ska be till Fadern här på detta berg eller i Jerusalem. Det är inte var man ber som är det viktiga, utan hur man ber. Frågan är om vår bön är andlig och äkta? För Gud är Ande. Det är så Gud vill att vi ska be. Men ni samarier vet så lite om honom, ni vet inte hur ni ska be, men vi judar känner honom väl, för frälsningen kommer till världen genom judarna.
25 Kvinnan sa: Ja, jag vet att Messias ska komma en gång, den som de kallar Kristus, och när han kommer ska han förklara alltsammans för oss.
26 Då sa Jesus till henne: Det är jag som är Messias.
Jesus talar om en andlig skörd
27 Just då kom lärjungarna tillbaka. De blev förvånade när de såg att han talade med en kvinna, men ingen av dem frågade honom varför eller vad de samtalade om.
28-29 Då lämnade kvinnan sin vattenkruka vid brunnen och sprang tillbaka till staden och ropade till alla: Kom och träffa en man som har berättat för mig om allt vad jag har gjort! Jag undrar om inte han är Messias?
30 Och folk strömmade nyfikna ut från staden för att få se honom.
31 Under tiden ville lärjungarna ge Jesus någonting att äta,
32 men han tackade nej och sa: Jag har mat som ni inte känner till.
33 Lärjungarna sa då till varandra: Vem har gett honom mat?
34 Då förklarade Jesus: Min mat är att göra hans vilja som har sänt mig och att utföra hans uppdrag.
35 Tror ni inte att man börjar skörda förrän om fyra månader när sommaren är slut? Se er omkring. Stora fält är mogna och färdiga att skördas.
36 Skördearbetarna som för människor till evigt liv ska få god lön. Vilken glädje väntar inte både den som sår och den som skördar!
37 För det är sant att en sår och en annan skördar.
38 Jag sänder ut er att skörda där ni inte har sått. Andra har utfört arbetet och ni får bärga skörden.
Många samarier kommer till tro
39 Många människor i staden Sykar trodde nu att Jesus var Messias därför att kvinnan sagt: Han visste allt om mig.
40-41 När de kom till brunnen för att se honom bad de honom att stanna kvar hos dem. Det gjorde han också under två dagar, och det var tillräckligt för att ännu fler skulle komma till tro när de lyssnade på honom.
42 Sedan sa de till kvinnan: Nu tror vi därför att vi själva har hört honom, inte på grund av vad du berättade för oss. Han är verkligen världens Frälsare.
Jesus beger sig till Galileen för att predika
43-44 Två dagar senare fortsatte Jesus till Galileen. Han hade själv sagt: En profet blir hedrad överallt utom i sin egen hemtrakt.
45 Men galileerna tog emot honom med öppna armar för de hade varit i Jerusalem under påskhögtiden och sett en del av hans under.
Jesus botar en regeringstjänstemans son
46-47 Under vandringen genom Galileen kom han till staden Kana där han en gång hade förvandlat vatten till vin. En regeringstjänsteman, som bodde i staden Kafarnaum, hade en son som var svårt sjuk. När han hörde att Jesus hade kommit från Judeen och var på väg genom Galileen gick han till Kana. Där träffade han Jesus och han bad honom följa med till Kafarnaum och bota pojken som låg döende.
48 Jesus frågade: Kan ni verkligen inte tro på mig, om ni inte ständigt får se under?
49 Men mannen bad: Herre, kom med innan min pojke dör.
50 Då sa Jesus till honom: Gå hem igen. Din son är botad. Mannen trodde på vad Jesus sa och begav sig hem.
51 Medan han var på väg möttes han av några av sina tjänare med nyheten att allt var väl och att pojken hade blivit frisk.
52 Han frågade dem då när han hade börjat må bättre. De svarade: I går eftermiddag vid ettiden försvann plötsligt febern.
53 Då förstod fadern att det hänt i samma ögonblick som Jesus hade sagt till honom: Din son är botad. Och regeringstjänstemannen och hela hans familj blev övertygade om att Jesus var Messias.
54 Detta var det andra under Jesus gjorde i Galileen sedan han hade kommit dit från Judeen.

4 1-2 When the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard about the greater crowds coming to him than to John to be baptized and to become his disciples—(though Jesus himself didn’t baptize them, but his disciples did)— 3 he left Judea and returned to the province of Galilee.
4 He had to go through Samaria on the way, 5-6 and around noon as he approached the village of Sychar, he came to Jacob’s Well, located on the parcel of ground Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Jesus was tired from the long walk in the hot sun and sat wearily beside the well.
7 Soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus asked her for a drink. 8 He was alone at the time as his disciples had gone into the village to buy some food. 9 The woman was surprised that a Jew would ask a “despised Samaritan” for anything—usually they wouldn’t even speak to them!—and she remarked about this to Jesus.
10 He replied,
11 “But you don’t have a rope or a bucket,” she said, “and this is a very deep well! Where would you get this living water? 12 And besides, are you greater than our ancestor Jacob? How can you offer better water than this which he and his sons and cattle enjoyed?”
13 Jesus replied that people soon became thirsty again after drinking this water. 14 “But the water I give them,” he said, “becomes a perpetual spring within them, watering them forever with eternal life.”
15 “Please, sir,” the woman said, “give me some of that water! Then I’ll never be thirsty again and won’t have to make this long trip out here every day.”
16 “Go and get your husband,” Jesus told her.
17-18 “But I’m not married,” the woman replied.
“All too true!” Jesus said. “For you have had five husbands, and you aren’t even married to the man you’re living with now.”
19 “Sir,” the woman said, “you must be a prophet. 20 But say, tell me, why is it that you Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place of worship, while we Samaritans claim it is here at Mount Gerizim,[a] where our ancestors worshiped?”
21-24 Jesus replied,
25 The woman said, “Well, at least I know that the Messiah will come—the one they call Christ—and when he does, he will explain everything to us.”
26 Then Jesus told her, “I am the Messiah!”
27 Just then his disciples arrived. They were surprised to find him talking to a woman, but none of them asked him why, or what they had been discussing.
28-29 Then the woman left her waterpot beside the well and went back to the village and told everyone, “Come and meet a man who told me everything I ever did! Can this be the Messiah?” 30 So the people came streaming from the village to see him.
31 Meanwhile, the disciples were urging Jesus to eat. 32 “No,” he said, “I have some food you don’t know about.”
33 “Who brought it to him?” the disciples asked each other.
34 Then Jesus explained: “My nourishment comes from doing the will of God who sent me, and from finishing his work. 35 Do you think the work of harvesting will not begin until the summer ends four months from now? Look around you! Vast fields of human souls are ripening all around us, and are ready now for reaping. 36 The reapers will be paid good wages and will be gathering eternal souls into the granaries of heaven! What joys await the sower and the reaper, both together! 37 For it is true that one sows and someone else reaps. 38 I sent you to reap where you didn’t sow; others did the work, and you received the harvest.”
39 Many from the Samaritan village believed he was the Messiah because of the woman’s report: “He told me everything I ever did!” 40-41 When they came out to see him at the well, they begged him to stay at their village; and he did, for two days, long enough for many of them to believe in him after hearing him. 42 Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe because we have heard him ourselves, not just because of what you told us. He is indeed the Savior of the world.”
43-44 At the end of the two days’ stay he went on into Galilee. Jesus used to say, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own country!” 45 But the Galileans welcomed him with open arms, for they had been in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration and had seen some of his miracles.[b]
46-47 In the course of his journey through Galilee he arrived at the town of Cana, where he had turned the water into wine. While he was there, a man in the city of Capernaum, a government official, whose son was very sick, heard that Jesus had come from Judea and was traveling in Galilee. This man went over to Cana, found Jesus, and begged him to come to Capernaum with him and heal his son, who was now at death’s door.
48 Jesus asked, “Won’t any of you believe in me unless I do more and more miracles?”
49 The official pled, “Sir, please come now before my child dies.”
50 Then Jesus told him, “Go back home. Your son is healed!” And the man believed Jesus and started home. 51 While he was on his way, some of his servants met him with the news that all was well—his son had recovered. 52 He asked them when the lad had begun to feel better, and they replied, “Yesterday afternoon at about one o’clock his fever suddenly disappeared!” 53 Then the father realized it was the same moment that Jesus had told him, “Your son is healed.” And the officer and his entire household believed that Jesus was the Messiah.
54 This was Jesus’ second miracle in Galilee after coming from Judea.

Jesus Talks With a Samaritan Woman
4 Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John(A)— 2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. 3 So he left Judea(B) and went back once more to Galilee.
4 Now he had to go through Samaria.(C) 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.(D) 6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.
7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?”(E) 8 (His disciples had gone into the town(F) to buy food.)
9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan(G) woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.[a])
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”(H)
11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well(I) and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”
13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst.(J) Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water(K) welling up to eternal life.”(L)
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty(M) and have to keep coming here to draw water.”
16 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”
17 “I have no husband,” she replied.
Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”
19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet.(N) 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain,(O) but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”(P)
21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming(Q) when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.(R) 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know;(S) we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.(T) 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come(U) when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit(V) and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit,(W) and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ)(X) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”(Y)
The Disciples Rejoin Jesus
27 Just then his disciples returned(Z) and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?”
28 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did.(AA) Could this be the Messiah?”(AB) 30 They came out of the town and made their way toward him.
31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi,(AC) eat something.”
32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat(AD) that you know nothing about.”
33 Then his disciples said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?”
34 “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will(AE) of him who sent me and to finish his work.(AF) 35 Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.(AG) 36 Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests(AH) a crop for eternal life,(AI) so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. 37 Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’(AJ) is true. 38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”
Many Samaritans Believe
39 Many of the Samaritans from that town(AK) believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”(AL) 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. 41 And because of his words many more became believers.
42 They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”(AM)
Jesus Heals an Official’s Son
43 After the two days(AN) he left for Galilee. 44 (Now Jesus himself had pointed out that a prophet has no honor in his own country.)(AO) 45 When he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival,(AP) for they also had been there.
46 Once more he visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine.(AQ) And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum. 47 When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea,(AR) he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death.
48 “Unless you people see signs and wonders,”(AS) Jesus told him, “you will never believe.”
49 The royal official said, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
50 “Go,” Jesus replied, “your son will live.”
The man took Jesus at his word and departed. 51 While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living. 52 When he inquired as to the time when his son got better, they said to him, “Yesterday, at one in the afternoon, the fever left him.”
53 Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” So he and his whole household(AT) believed.
54 This was the second sign(AU) Jesus performed after coming from Judea to Galilee.

John 4
King James Version
4 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.
