New Testament in a Year

³¹ And in the meanwhile his disciples were asking him, saying, `Rabbi, eat;'

³² and he said to them, `I have food to eat that ye have not known.'

³³ The disciples then said one to another, `Did any one bring him anything to eat?'

³⁴ Jesus saith to them, `My food is, that I may do the will of Him who sent me, and may finish His work;

³⁵ do not say that it is yet four months, and the harvest cometh; lo, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and see the fields, that they are white unto harvest already.

³⁶ `And he who is reaping doth receive a reward, and doth gather fruit to life age-during, that both he who is sowing and he who is reaping may rejoice together;

³⁷ for in this the saying is the true one, that one is the sower and another the reaper.

³⁸ I sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured; others laboured, and ye into their labour have entered.

³⁹ And from that city many believed in him, of the Samaritans, because of the word of the woman testifying, -- `He told me all things -- as many as I did.'

⁴⁰ When, then, the Samaritans came unto him, they were asking him to remain with them, and he remained there two days;

⁴¹ and many more did believe because of his word,

⁴² and said to the woman -- `No more because of thy speaking do we believe; for we ourselves have heard and known that this is truly the Saviour of the world -- the Christ.'

⁴³ And after the two days he went forth thence, and went away to Galilee,

⁴⁴ for Jesus himself testified that a prophet in his own country shall not have honour;

⁴⁵ when then, he came to Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all things that he did in Jerusalem in the feast -- for they also went to the feast.

⁴⁶ Jesus came, therefore, again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine, and there was a certain courtier, whose son was ailing in Capernaum,

⁴⁷ he, having heard that Jesus is come out of Judea to Galilee, went away unto him, and was asking him that he may come down and may heal his son, for he was about to die.

⁴⁸ Jesus then said unto him, `If signs and wonders ye may not see, ye will not believe.'

⁴⁹ The courtier saith unto him, `Sir, come down before my child die;'

⁵⁰ Jesus saith to him, `Be going on; thy son doth live.' And the man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and was going on,

⁵¹ and he now going down, his servants met him, and told, saying -- `Thy child doth live;'

⁵² he inquired then of them the hour in which he became better, and they said to him -- `Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him;'

⁵³ then the father knew that [it was] in that hour in which Jesus said to him -- `Thy son doth live,' and he himself believed, and his whole house;

⁵⁴ this again a second sign did Jesus, having come out of Judea to Galilee.
