When
therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had
heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples
than John,
02 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his
disciples,)
03 He left Judaea, and departed again into
Galilee.
04 And he must needs go through Samaria.
05 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.
06 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.
07 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water:
Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
08 (For his disciples were gone
away unto the city to buy meat.)
09 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.
