¹ 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.

---

¹ When ^G5613 therefore ^G3767 the Lord ^G2962 knew ^G1097 how ^G3754 the Pharisees ^G5330 had heard ^G191 that ^G3754 Jesus ^G2424 made ^G4160 and ^G2532 baptized ^G907 more ^G4119 disciples ^G3101 than ^G2228 John, ^G2491

² (Though ^G2544 Jesus ^G2424 himself ^G846 baptized ^G907 not, ^G3756 but ^G235 his ^G846 disciples,) ^G3101

³ He left ^G863 Judaea, ^G2449 and ^G2532 departed ^G565 again ^G3825 into ^G1519 Galilee. ^G1056

⁴ And ^G1161 he must needs ^G1163 go ^G1330 through ^G1223 Samaria. ^G4540

⁵ Then ^G3767 cometh he ^G2064 to ^G1519 a city ^G4172 of Samaria, ^G4540 which is called ^G3004 Sychar, ^G4965 near ^G4139 to the parcel of ground ^G5564 that ^G3739 Jacob ^G2384 gave ^G1325 to his ^G846 son ^G5207 Joseph. ^G2501

⁶ Now ^G1161 Jacob's ^G2384 well ^G4077 was ^G2258 there. ^G1563 Jesus ^G2424 therefore, ^G3767 being wearied ^G2872 with ^G1537 his journey, ^G3597 sat ^G2516 thus ^G3779 on ^G1909 the well: ^G4077 and it was ^G2258 about ^G5616 the sixth ^G1623 hour. ^G5610

⁷ There cometh ^G2064 a woman ^G1135 of ^G1537 Samaria ^G4540 to draw ^G501 water: ^G5204 Jesus ^G2424 saith ^G3004 unto her, ^G846 Give ^G1325 me ^G3427 to drink. ^G4095

⁸ (For ^G1063 his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 were gone away ^G565 unto ^G1519 the city ^G4172 to ^G2443 buy ^G59 meat.) ^G5160

⁹ Then ^G3767 saith ^G3004 the woman ^G1135 of Samaria ^G4542 unto him, ^G846 How is it that ^G4459 thou, ^G4771 being ^G5607 a Jew, ^G2453 askest ^G154 drink ^G4095 of ^G3844 me, ^G1700 which am ^G5607 a woman ^G1135 of Samaria? ^G4542 for ^G1063 the Jews ^G2453 have ^G4798 no ^G3756 dealings ^G4798 with the Samaritans. ^G4541

¹⁰ Jesus ^G2424 answered ^G611 and ^G2532 said ^G2036 unto her, ^G846 If ^G1487 thou knewest ^G1492 the gift ^G1431 of God, ^G2316 and ^G2532 who ^G5101 it is ^G2076 that saith ^G3004 to thee, ^G4671 Give ^G1325 me ^G3427 to drink; ^G4095 thou ^G4771 wouldest ^G302 have asked ^G154 of him, ^G846 and ^G2532 he would ^G302 have given ^G1325 thee ^G4671 living ^G2198 water. ^G5204

¹¹ The woman ^G1135 saith ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 Sir, ^G2962 thou hast ^G2192 nothing ^G3777 to draw with, ^G502 and ^G2532 the well ^G5421 is ^G2076 deep: ^G901 from whence ^G4159 then ^G3767 hast thou ^G2192 that living ^G2198 water? ^G5204

^{12 G3361} Art ^G1488 thou ^G4771 greater ^G3187 than our ^G2257 father ^G3962 Jacob, ^G2384 which ^G3739 gave ^G1325 us ^G2254 the well, ^G5421 and ^G2532 drank ^G4095 thereof ^{G1537 G846} himself, ^G846 and ^G2532 his ^G846 children, ^G5207 and ^G2532 his ^G846 cattle? ^G2353

¹³ Jesus ^G2424 answered ^G611 and ^G2532 said ^G2036 unto her, ^G846 Whosoever ^G3956 drinketh ^G4095 of ^G1537 this ^G5127 water ^G5204 shall thirst ^G1372 again: ^G3825

¹⁴ But ^G1161 whosoever ^{G3739 G302} drinketh ^G4095 of ^G1537 the water ^G5204 that ^G3739 I ^G1473 shall give ^G1325 him ^G846 shall ^G1372 never ^{G1519 G165 G3364} thirst; ^G1372 but ^G235 the water ^G5204 that ^G3739 I shall give ^G1325 him ^G846 shall be ^G1096 in ^G1722 him ^G846 a well ^G4077 of water ^G5204 springing up ^G242 into ^G1519 everlasting ^G166 life. ^G2222

¹⁵ The woman ^G1135 saith ^G3004 unto ^G4314 him, ^G846 Sir, ^G2962 give ^G1325 me ^G3427 this ^G5124 water, ^G5204 that ^G3363 I thirst ^G1372 not, ^G3363 neither ^G3366 come ^G2064 hither ^G1759 to draw. ^G501

¹⁶ Jesus ^G2424 saith ^G3004 unto her, ^G846 Go, ^G5217 call ^G5455 thy ^G4675 husband, ^G435 and ^G2532 come ^G2064 hither. ^G1759

¹⁷ The woman ^G1135 answered ^G611 and ^G2532 said, ^G2036 I have ^G2192 no ^G3756 husband. ^G435 Jesus ^G2424 said ^G3004 unto her, ^G846 Thou hast ^G2036 well ^G2573 said, ^{G2036 G3754} I have ^G2192 no ^G3756 husband: ^G435

¹⁸ For ^G1063 thou hast had ^G2192 five ^G4002 husbands; ^G435 and ^G2532 he whom ^G3739 thou ^G2192 now ^G3568 hast ^G2192 is ^G2076 not ^G3756 thy ^G4675 husband: ^G435 in that ^G5124 saidst thou ^G2046 truly. ^G227

¹⁹ The woman ^G1135 saith ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 Sir, ^G2962 I perceive ^G2334 that ^G3754 thou ^G4771 art ^G1488 a prophet. ^G4396

²⁰ Our ^G2257 fathers ^G3962 worshipped ^G4352 in ^G1722 this ^G5129 mountain; ^G3735 and ^G2532 ye ^G5210 say, ^G3004 that ^G3754 in ^G1722 Jerusalem ^G2414 is ^G2076 the place ^G5117 where ^G3699 men ought ^G1163 to worship. ^G4352

²¹ Jesus ^G2424 saith ^G3004 unto her, ^G846 Woman, ^G1135 believe ^G4100 me, ^G3427 the hour ^G5610 cometh, ^{G3754 G2064} when ^G3753 ye shall ^G4352 neither ^G3777 in ^G1722 this ^G5129 mountain, ^G3735 nor yet ^G3777 at ^G1722 Jerusalem, ^G2414 worship ^G4352 the Father. ^G3962

²² Ye ^G5210 worship ^G4352 ye know ^G1492 not ^G3756 what: ^G3739 we know ^G1492 what ^G3739 we ^G2249 worship: ^G4352 for ^G3754 salvation ^G4991 is ^G2076 of ^G1537 the Jews. ^G2453

²³ But ^G235 the hour ^G5610 cometh, ^G2064 and ^G2532 now ^G3568 is, ^G2076 when ^G3753 the true ^G228 worshippers ^G4353 shall worship ^G4352 the Father ^G3962 in ^G1722 spirit ^G4151 and ^G2532 in truth: ^G225 for ^{G2532 G1063} the Father ^G3962 seeketh ^G2212 such ^G5108 to worship ^G4352 him. ^G846

²⁴ God ^G2316 is a Spirit: ^G4151 and ^G2532 they that worship ^G4352 him ^G846 must ^G1163 worship ^G4352 him in ^G1722 spirit ^G4151 and ^G2532 in truth. ^G225

²⁵ The woman ^G1135 saith ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 I know ^G1492 that ^G3754 Messias ^G3323 cometh, ^G2064 which ^G3588 is called ^G3004 Christ: ^G5547 when ^G3752 he ^G1565 is come, ^G2064 he will tell ^G312 us ^G2254 all things. ^G3956

²⁶ Jesus ^G2424 saith ^G3004 unto her, ^G846 I ^G1473 that speak ^G2980 unto thee ^G4671 am ^G1510 he.

²⁷ And ^G2532 upon ^G1909 this ^G5129 came ^G2064 his ^G846 disciples, ^G3101 and ^G2532 marvelled ^G2296 that ^G3754 he talked ^G2980 with ^G3326 the woman: ^G1135 yet ^G3305 no man ^G3762 said, ^G2036 What ^G5101 seekest thou? ^G2212 or, ^G2228 Why ^G5101 talkest thou ^G2980 with ^G3326 her? ^G846

²⁸ The woman ^G1135 then ^G3767 left ^G863 her ^G846 waterpot, ^G5201 and ^G2532 went her way ^G565 into ^G1519 the city, ^G4172 and ^G2532 saith ^G3004 to the men, ^G444

²⁹ Come, ^G1205 see ^G1492 a man, ^G444 which ^G3739 told ^G2036 me ^G3427 all things ^G3956 that ever ^G3745 I did: ^G4160 is ^G2076 not ^G3385 this ^G3778 the Christ? ^G5547

³⁰ Then ^G3767 they went ^G1831 out of ^G1537 the city, ^G4172 and ^G2532 came ^G2064 unto ^G4314 him. ^G846

^{31 G1161} In ^G1722 the mean ^G3342 while his disciples ^G3101 prayed ^G2065 him, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 Master, ^G4461 eat. ^G5315

³² But ^G1161 he said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 I ^G1473 have ^G2192 meat ^G1035 to eat ^G5315 that ^G3739 ye ^G5210 know ^G1492 not ^G3756 of. ^G1492

³³ Therefore ^G3767 said ^G3004 the disciples ^G3101 one to another, ^{G4314 G240} Hath ^G5342 any man ^G3387 brought ^G5342 him ^G846 ought to eat? ^G5315

³⁴ Jesus ^G2424 saith ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 My ^G1699 meat ^G1033 is ^G2076 to ^G2443 do ^G4160 the will ^G2307 of him that sent ^G3992 me, ^G3165 and ^G2532 to finish ^G5048 his ^G846 work. ^G2041

³⁵ Say ^G3004 not ^G3756 ye, ^G5210 There ^G3754 are ^G2076 yet ^G2089 four months, ^G5072 and ^G2532 then cometh ^G2064 harvest? ^G2326 behold, ^G2400 I say ^G3004 unto you, ^G5213 Lift up ^G1869 your ^G5216 eyes, ^G3788 and ^G2532 look on ^G2300 the fields; ^G5561 for ^G3754 they are ^G1526 white ^G3022 already ^G2235 to ^G4314 harvest. ^G2326

³⁶ And ^G2532 he that reapeth ^G2325 receiveth ^G2983 wages, ^G3408 and ^G2532 gathereth ^G4863 fruit ^G2590 unto ^G1519 life ^G2222 eternal: ^G166 that ^G2443 both ^G2532 he that soweth ^G4687 and ^G2532 he that reapeth ^G2325 may rejoice ^G5463 together. ^G3674

³⁷ And ^G1063 herein ^{G1722 G5129} is ^G2076 that saying ^G3056 true, ^{G228 G3754} One ^G243 soweth, ^{G2076 G4687} and ^G2532 another ^G243 reapeth. ^G2325

³⁸ I ^G1473 sent ^G649 you ^G5209 to reap ^G2325 that whereon ^G3739 ye ^G5210 bestowed ^G2872 no ^G3756 labour: ^G2872 other men ^G243 laboured, ^G2872 and ^G2532 ye ^G5210 are entered ^G1525 into ^G1519 their ^G846 labours. ^G2873

³⁹ And ^G1161 many ^G4183 of the Samaritans ^G4541 of ^G1537 that ^G1565 city ^G4172 believed ^G4100 on ^G1519 him ^G846 for ^G1223 the saying ^G3056 of the woman, ^G1135 which testified, ^{G3140 G3754} He told ^G2036 me ^G3427 all ^G3956 that ever ^G3745 I did. ^G4160

⁴⁰ So ^G3767 when ^G5613 the Samaritans ^G4541 were come ^G2064 unto ^G4314 him, ^G846 they besought ^G2065 him ^G846 that he would tarry ^G3306 with ^G3844 them: ^G846 and ^G2532 he abode ^G3306 there ^G1563 two ^G1417 days. ^G2250

⁴¹ And ^G2532 many ^G4183 more ^G4119 believed ^G4100 because ^G1223 of his own ^G846 word; ^G3056

⁴² And ^G5037 said ^G3004 unto the woman, ^{G1135 G3754} Now ^G3765 we believe, ^G4100 not ^G3754 because ^G1223 of thy ^G4674 saying: ^G2981 for ^G1063 we have heard ^G191 him ourselves, ^G846 and ^G2532 know ^G1492 that ^G3754 this ^G3778 is ^G2076 indeed ^G230 the Christ, ^G5547 the Saviour ^G4990 of the world. ^G2889

⁴³ Now ^G1161 after ^G3326 two ^G1417 days ^G2250 he departed ^{G565 G1831} thence, ^G1564 and ^G2532 went into ^G1519 Galilee. ^G1056

⁴⁴ For ^G1063 Jesus ^G2424 himself ^G846 testified, ^G3140 that ^G3754 a prophet ^G4396 hath ^G2192 no ^G3756 honour ^G5092 in ^G1722 his own ^G2398 country. ^G3968

⁴⁵ Then ^G3767 when ^G3753 he was come ^G2064 into ^G1519 Galilee, ^G1056 the Galilaeans ^G1057 received ^G1209 him, ^G846 having seen ^G3708 all the things ^G3956 that ^G3739 he did ^G4160 at ^G1722 Jerusalem ^G2414 at ^G1722 the feast: ^G1859 for ^G1063 they ^G846 also ^G2532 went ^G2064 unto ^G1519 the feast. ^G1859

⁴⁶ So ^G3767 Jesus ^G2424 came ^G2064 again ^G3825 into ^G1519 Cana ^G2580 of Galilee, ^G1056 where ^G3699 he made ^G4160 the water ^G5204 wine. ^G3631 And ^G2532 there was ^G2258 a certain ^G5100 nobleman, ^G937 whose ^G3739 son ^G5207 was sick ^G770 at ^G1722 Capernaum. ^G2584

⁴⁷ When he ^G3778 heard ^G191 that ^G3754 Jesus ^G2424 was come ^G2240 out of ^G1537 Judaea ^G2449 into ^G1519 Galilee, ^G1056 he went ^G565 unto ^G4314 him, ^G846 and ^G2532 besought ^G2065 him ^G846 that ^G2443 he would come down, ^G2597 and ^G2532 heal ^G2390 his ^G846 son: ^G5207 for ^G1063 he was at the point ^G3195 of death. ^G599

⁴⁸ Then ^G3767 said ^G2036 Jesus ^G2424 unto ^G4314 him, ^G846 Except ^G3362 ye see ^G1492 signs ^G4592 and ^G2532 wonders, ^G5059 ye will ^G4100 not ^G3364 believe. ^G4100

⁴⁹ The nobleman ^G937 saith ^G3004 unto ^G4314 him, ^G846 Sir, ^G2962 come down ^G2597 ere ^G4250 my ^G3450 child ^G3813 die. ^G599

⁵⁰ Jesus ^G2424 saith ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 Go thy way; ^G4198 thy ^G4675 son ^G5207 liveth. ^G2198 And ^G2532 the man ^G444 believed ^G4100 the word ^G3056 that ^G3739 Jesus ^G2424 had spoken ^G2036 unto him, ^G846 and ^G2532 he went his way. ^G4198

⁵¹ And ^G1161 as he ^G846 was now ^G2235 going down, ^G2597 his ^G846 servants ^G1401 met ^G528 him, ^G846 and ^G2532 told ^G518 him, saying, ^{G3004 G3754} Thy ^G4675 son ^G3816 liveth. ^G2198

⁵² Then ^G3767 enquired he ^G4441 of ^G3844 them ^G846 the hour ^G5610 when ^{G1722 G3739} he began ^G2192 to amend. ^G2866 And ^G2532 they said ^G2036 unto him, ^{G846 G3754} Yesterday ^G5504 at the seventh ^G1442 hour ^G5610 the fever ^G4446 left ^G863 him. ^G846

⁵³ So ^G3767 the father ^G3962 knew ^G1097 that ^G3754 it was at ^G1722 the same ^G1565 hour, ^G5610 in ^G1722 the which ^G3739 Jesus ^G2424 said ^G2036 unto him, ^{G846 G3754} Thy ^G4675 son ^G5207 liveth: ^G2198 and ^G2532 himself ^G846 believed, ^G4100 and ^G2532 his ^G846 whole ^G3650 house. ^G3614

⁵⁴ This ^G5124 is again ^G3825 the second ^G1208 miracle ^G4592 that Jesus ^G2424 did, ^G4160 when he was come out ^G2064 of ^G1537 Judaea ^G2449 into ^G1519 Galilee. ^G1056

---

¹ When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

² (although Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),

³ he left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.

⁴ And he must needs pass through Samaria.

⁵ So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:

⁶ and Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. 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 into the city to buy food.

⁹ The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto 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 unto 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: whence then hast thou that living water?

¹² Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?

¹³ Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that 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 become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life.

¹⁵ The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw.

¹⁶ Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

¹⁷ The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:

¹⁸ for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said 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 neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.

²² Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

²³ But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers.

²⁴ God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.

²⁵ The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh (he that is called Christ): when he is come, he will declare unto us all things.

²⁶ Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am `he'.

²⁷ And upon this came his disciples; and they marvelled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?

²⁸ So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the people,

²⁹ Come, see a man, who told me all things that `ever' I did: can this be the Christ?

³⁰ They went out of the city, and were coming to him.

³¹ In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat.

³² But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not.

³³ The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him `aught' to eat?

³⁴ Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work.

³⁵ Say not ye, There are yet four months, and `then' cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white already unto harvest.

³⁶ He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

³⁷ For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

³⁸ I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not labored: others have labored, and ye are entered into their labor.

³⁹ And from that city many of the Samaritans believed on him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all things that `ever' I did.

⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought 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 believe, not because of thy speaking: for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.

⁴³ And after the two days he went forth from thence into Galilee.

⁴⁴ For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honor in his own country.

⁴⁵ So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.

⁴⁶ He came therefore again unto 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 Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise 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. The man believed the word that Jesus spake unto him, and he went his way.

⁵¹ And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son lived.

⁵² So he inquired of them the hour when he began to amend. They said therefore unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.

⁵³ So the father knew that `it was' at that hour in which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.

⁵⁴ This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judaea into Galilee.

---

¹ When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus more disciples doth make and baptize than John,

² (though indeed Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples,)

³ he left Judea and went away again to Galilee,

⁴ and it was behoving him to go through Samaria.

⁵ He cometh, therefore, to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the place that Jacob gave to Joseph his son;

⁶ and there was there a well of Jacob. Jesus therefore having been weary from the journeying, was sitting thus on the well; it was as it were the sixth hour;

⁷ there cometh a woman out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith to her, `Give me to drink;'

⁸ for his disciples were gone away to the city, that they may buy victuals;

⁹ the Samaritan woman therefore saith to him, `How dost thou, being a Jew, ask drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?' for Jews have no dealing with Samaritans.

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her, `If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.'

¹¹ The woman saith to him, `Sir, thou hast not even a vessel to draw with, and the well is deep; whence, then, hast thou the living water?

¹² Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who did give us the well, and himself out of it did drink, and his sons, and his cattle?'

¹³ Jesus answered and said to her, `Every one who is drinking of this water shall thirst again;

¹⁴ but whoever may drink of the water that I will give him, may not thirst -- to the age; and the water that I will give him shall become in him a well of water, springing up to life age-during.'

¹⁵ The woman saith unto him, `Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.'

¹⁶ Jesus saith to her, `Go, call thy husband, and come hither;'

¹⁷ the woman answered and said, `I have not a husband.' Jesus saith to her, `Well didst thou say -- A husband I have not;

¹⁸ for five husbands thou hast had, and, now, he whom thou hast is not thy husband; this hast thou said truly.'

¹⁹ The woman saith to him, `Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet;

²⁰ our fathers in this mountain did worship, and ye -- ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where it behoveth to worship.'

²¹ Jesus saith to her, `Woman, believe me, that there doth come an hour, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father;

²² ye worship what ye have not known; we worship what we have known, because the salvation is of the Jews;

²³ but, there cometh an hour, and it now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also doth seek such to worship him;

²⁴ God `is' a Spirit, and those worshipping Him, in spirit and truth it doth behove to worship.'

²⁵ The woman saith to him, `I have known that Messiah doth come, who is called Christ, when that one may come, he will tell us all things;'

²⁶ Jesus saith to her, `I am `he', who am speaking to thee.'

²⁷ And upon this came his disciples, and were wondering that with a woman he was speaking, no one, however, said, `What seekest thou?' or `Why speakest thou with her?'

²⁸ The woman then left her water-jug, and went away to the city, and saith to the men,

²⁹ `Come, see a man, who told me all things -- as many as I did; is this the Christ?'

³⁰ They went forth therefore out of the city, and were coming unto him.

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.

---

¹ When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus makes and baptises more disciples than John

² (however, Jesus himself did not baptise, but his disciples),

³ he left Judaea and went away again unto Galilee.

⁴ And he must needs pass through Samaria.

⁵ He comes therefore to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near to the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ Now a fountain of Jacob's was there; Jesus therefore, being wearied with the way he had come, sat just as he was at the fountain. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ A woman comes out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus says to her, Give me to drink

⁸ (for his disciples had gone away into the city that they might buy provisions).

⁹ The Samaritan woman therefore says to him, How dost thou, being a Jew, ask to drink of me who am a Samaritan woman? for Jews have no intercourse with Samaritans.

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that says to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

¹¹ The woman says to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou the living water?

¹² Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?

¹³ Jesus answered and said to her, Every one who drinks of this water shall thirst again;

¹⁴ but whosoever drinks of the water which I shall give him shall never thirst for ever, but the water which I shall give him shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into eternal life.

¹⁵ The woman says to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst nor come here to draw.

¹⁶ Jesus says to her, Go, call thy husband, and come here.

¹⁷ The woman answered and said, I have not a husband. Jesus says to her, Thou hast well said, I have not a husband;

¹⁸ for thou hast had five husbands, and he whom now thou hast is not thy husband: this thou hast spoken truly.

¹⁹ The woman says to him, Sir, I see that thou art a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship.

²¹ Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, [the] hour is coming when ye shall neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem worship the Father.

²² Ye worship ye know not what; we worship what we know, for salvation is of the Jews.

²³ But [the] hour is coming and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeks such as his worshippers.

²⁴ God [is] a spirit; and they who worship him must worship [him] in spirit and truth.

²⁵ The woman says to him, I know that Messias is coming, who is called Christ; when *he* comes he will tell us all things.

²⁶ Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee am [he].

²⁷ And upon this came his disciples, and wondered that he spoke with a woman; yet no one said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?

²⁸ The woman then left her waterpot and went away into the city, and says to the men,

²⁹ Come, see a man who told me all things I had ever done: is not he the Christ?

³⁰ They went out of the city and came to him.

³¹ But meanwhile the disciples asked him saying, Rabbi, eat.

³² But he said to them, I have food to eat which ye do not know.

³³ The disciples therefore said to one another, Has any one brought him [anything] to eat?

³⁴ Jesus says to them, My food is that I should do the will of him that has sent me, and that I should finish his work.

³⁵ Do not ye say, that there are yet four months and the harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes and behold the fields, for they are already white to harvest.

³⁶ He that reaps receives wages and gathers fruit unto life eternal, that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together.

³⁷ For in this is [verified] the true saying, It is one who sows and another who reaps.

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

³⁹ But many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him because of the word of the woman who bore witness, He told me all things that I had ever done.

⁴⁰ When therefore the Samaritans came to him they asked him to abide with them, and he abode there two days.

⁴¹ And more a great deal believed on account of his word;

⁴² and they said to the woman, [It is] no longer on account of thy saying that we believe, for we have heard him ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.

⁴³ But after the two days he went forth thence and went away into Galilee,

⁴⁴ for Jesus himself bore witness that a prophet has no honour in his own country.

⁴⁵ When therefore he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem during the feast, for they also went to the feast.

⁴⁶ He came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain courtier in Capernaum whose son was sick.

⁴⁷ He, having heard that Jesus had come out of Judaea into Galilee, went to him and asked [him] that he would come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.

⁴⁸ Jesus therefore said to him, Unless ye see signs and wonders ye will not believe.

⁴⁹ The courtier says to him, Sir, come down ere my child die.

⁵⁰ Jesus says to him, Go, thy son lives. And the man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way.

⁵¹ But already, as he was going down, his servants met him and brought [him] word saying, Thy child lives.

⁵² He inquired therefore from them the hour at which he got better. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.

⁵³ The father therefore knew that [it was] in that hour in which Jesus said to him, Thy son lives; and he believed, himself and his whole house.

⁵⁴ This second sign again did Jesus, being come out of Judaea into Galilee.

---

¹ Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John

² (although Jesus himself didn't baptize, but his disciples),

³ he left Judea, and departed into Galilee.

⁴ He needed to pass through Samaria.

⁵ So he came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son, Joseph.

⁶ Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour{noon}.

⁷ A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink."

⁸ For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

⁹ The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, "How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

¹⁰ Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."

¹¹ The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. From where then have you that living water?

¹² Are you greater than our father, Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, as did his children, and his cattle?"

¹³ Jesus answered her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,

¹⁴ but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."

¹⁵ The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I don't get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw."

¹⁶ Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."

¹⁷ The woman answered, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You said well, 'I have no husband,'

¹⁸ for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly."

¹⁹ The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship."

²¹ Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father.

²² You worship that which you don't know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

²³ But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshippers.

²⁴ God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

²⁵ The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah comes," (he who is called Christ). "When he has come, he will declare to us all things."

²⁶ Jesus said to her, "I am he, the one who speaks to you."

²⁷ At this, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, "What are you looking for?" or, "Why do you speak with her?"

²⁸ So the woman left her water pot, and went away into the city, and said to the people,

²⁹ "Come, see a man who told me everything that I did. Can this be the Christ?"

³⁰ They went out of the city, and were coming to him.

³¹ In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."

³² But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you don't know about."

³³ The disciples therefore said one to another, "Has anyone brought him something to eat?"

³⁴ Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.

³⁵ Don't you say, 'There are yet four months until the harvest?' Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.

³⁶ He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to eternal life; that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

³⁷ For in this the saying is true, 'One sows, and another reaps.'

³⁸ I sent you to reap that for which you haven't labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor."

³⁹ From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, "He told me everything that I did."

⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.

⁴¹ Many more believed because of his word.

⁴² They said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world."

⁴³ After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.

⁴⁴ For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

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

⁴⁶ Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.

⁴⁷ When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

⁴⁸ Jesus therefore said to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe."

⁴⁹ The nobleman said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies."

⁵⁰ Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your son lives." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.

⁵¹ As he was now going down, his servants met him and reported, saying "Your child lives!"

⁵² So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour,{1:00 P. M.} the fever left him."

⁵³ So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives." He believed, as did his whole house.

⁵⁴ This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.

---

¹ Now when it was clear to the Lord that word had come to the ears of the Pharisees that Jesus was making more disciples than John and was giving them baptism

² (Though, in fact, it was his disciples who gave baptism, not Jesus himself),

³ He went out of Judaea into Galilee again.

⁴ And it was necessary for him to go through Samaria.

⁵ So he came to a town of Samaria which was named Sychar, near to the bit of land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph:

⁶ Now Jacob's fountain was there. Jesus, being tired after his journey, was resting by the fountain. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ A woman of Samaria came to get water, and Jesus said to her, Give me some water.

⁸ For his disciples had gone to the town to get food.

⁹ The woman of Samaria said to him, Why do you, a Jew, make a request for water to me, a woman of Samaria? She said this because Jews have nothing to do with the people of Samaria.

¹⁰ In answer Jesus said, If you had knowledge of what God gives freely and who it is who says to you, Give me water, you would make your prayer to him, and he would give you living water.

¹¹ The woman said to him, Sir, you have no vessel and the fountain is deep; from where will you get the living water?

¹² Are you greater than our father Jacob who gave us the fountain and took the water of it himself, with his children and his cattle?

¹³ Jesus said to her, Everyone who takes this water will be in need of it again:

¹⁴ But whoever takes the water I give him will never be in need of drink again; for the water I give him will become in him a fountain of eternal life.

¹⁵ The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be in need again of drink and will not have to come all this way for it.

¹⁶ Jesus said to her, Go, get your husband and come back here with him.

¹⁷ In answer, the woman said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have said rightly, I have no husband:

¹⁸ You have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband: that was truly said.

¹⁹ The woman said to him, Sir, I see that you are a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers gave worship on this mountain, but you Jews say that the right place for worship is in Jerusalem.

²¹ Jesus said to her, Woman, take my word for this; the time is coming when you will not give worship to the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.

²² You give worship, but without knowledge of what you are worshipping: we give worship to what we have knowledge of: for salvation comes from the Jews.

²³ But the time is coming, and is even now here, when the true worshippers will give worship to the Father in the true way of the spirit, for these are the worshippers desired by the Father.

²⁴ God is Spirit: then let his worshippers give him worship in the true way of the spirit.

²⁵ The woman said to him, I am certain that the Messiah, who is named Christ, is coming; when he comes he will make all things clear to us.

²⁶ Jesus said to her, I, who am talking to you, am he.

²⁷ At that point the disciples came back, and they were surprised to see him talking to a woman; but not one of them said to him, What is your purpose? or, Why are you talking to her?

²⁸ Then the woman put down her water-pot and went into the town, and said to the people,

²⁹ Come and see a man who has been talking to me of everything I ever did! Is it possible that this is the Christ?

³⁰ So they went out of the town and came to him.

³¹ While this was taking place, the disciples were saying to Jesus, Master, take some food.

³² But he said to them, I have food of which you have no knowledge.

³³ So the disciples said one to another, Did anyone give him food?

³⁴ Jesus said, My food is to do the pleasure of him who sent me and to make his work complete.

³⁵ You would say, Four months from now is the time of the grain-cutting. Take a look, I say to you, at the fields; they are even now white for cutting.

³⁶ He who does the cutting now has his reward; he is getting together fruit for eternal life, so that he who did the planting and he who gets in the grain may have joy together.

³⁷ In this the saying is a true one, One does the planting, and another gets in the grain.

³⁸ I sent you to get in grain which you had no hand in planting: other men did that work, and you take the reward.

³⁹ Now a number of the people of that town had faith in him because of the woman's witness: He has been talking to me of everything I ever did.

⁴⁰ So when the people came to him they made request to him to be among them for a time, and he was there two days.

⁴¹ And a great number more of them came to have faith in him because of what he himself said.

⁴² And they said to the woman, Now we have faith, but not because of your story: we ourselves have given ear to his words, and we are certain that he is truly the Saviour of the world.

⁴³ And after the two days he went on from there into Galilee.

⁴⁴ For Jesus himself said that a prophet has no honour in the country of his birth.

⁴⁵ So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans took him to their hearts because of the things which they had seen him do in Jerusalem at the feast--they themselves having been there at the feast.

⁴⁶ So he came to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain man of high position whose son was ill at Capernaum.

⁴⁷ When it came to his ears that Jesus had come from Judaea into Galilee, he went to him and made a request that he would come down to his son, who was near to death, and make him well.

⁴⁸ Then Jesus said to him, You will not have faith if you do not see signs and wonders.

⁴⁹ The man said, Sir, come down before my boy is dead.

⁵⁰ And Jesus said, Go in peace; your son is living. The man had faith in the word which Jesus said to him and went away.

⁵¹ And while he was going down, his servants came to him and said, Your boy is living.

⁵² So he put a question to them as to the hour when he became better; and they said to him, The disease went from him yesterday at the seventh hour.

⁵³ It was clear then to the father that this was the very time at which Jesus said to him, Your son is living. And he had faith in Jesus, he and all his family.

⁵⁴ Now this is the second sign which Jesus did after he had come out of Judaea into Galilee.
