When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, (4:1)

(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples, ) (4:2)

He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee (4:3)

And he must needs go through Samaria (4:4)

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 (4:5)

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. (4:6) 23

There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. (4:7) 23

(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) (4:8)

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 (4:9)

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 (4:10)

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? (4:11)

Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? (4:12)

Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: (4:13)

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. (4:14) com3

The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw (4:15)

Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither (4:16)

The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: (4:17)

For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly (4:18)

The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet (4:19)

Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship (4:20)

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father (4:21)

Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews (4:22)

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. (4:23) com4

God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship [him] in spirit and in truth. (4:24) 62 com5

The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things (4:25)

Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he] (4:26)

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? (4:27)

The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, (4:28)

Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? (4:29)

Then they went out of the city, and came unto him (4:30)

In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat (4:31)

But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of (4:32)

Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him [ought] to eat? (4:33)

Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. (4:34) 98

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 (4:35)

And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together (4:36)

And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth (4:37)

I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours (4:38)

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 (4:39)

So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days (4:40)

And many more believed because of his own word; (4:41)

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 (4:42)

Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee (4:43)

For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country (4:44)

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 (4:45)

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 (4:46)

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 (4:47)

Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. (4:48) com7

The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die (4:49)

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 (4:50)

And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told [him], saying, Thy son liveth (4:51)

Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him (4:52)

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 (4:53)

This [is] again the second miracle [that] Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee (4:54)
