 4:1  When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard
that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
 4:2  (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
 4:3  He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
 4:4  And he must needs go through Samaria.
 4:5  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.
 4:6  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.
 4:7  There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus
saith unto her, Give me to drink.
 4:8  (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy
meat.)
 4:9  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.
 4:10  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.
 4:11  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?
 4:12  Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us
the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his
cattle?
 4:13  Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of
this water shall thirst again:
 4:14  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.
 4:15  The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that
I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
 4:16  Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come
hither.
 4:17  The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus
said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
 4:18  For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now
hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
 4:19  The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art
a prophet.
 4:20  Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say,
that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
 4:21  Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour
cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at
Jerusalem, worship the Father.
 4:22  Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship:
for salvation is of the Jews.
 4:23  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.
 4:24  God [is] a Spirit: and they that worship him must
worship [him] in spirit and in truth.
 4:25  The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh,
which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all
things.
 4:26  Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he].
 4:27  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?
 4:28  The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into
the city, and saith to the men,
 4:29  Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I
did: is not this the Christ?
 4:30  Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
 4:31  In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying,
Master, eat.
 4:32  But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know
not of.
 4:33  Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any
man brought him [ought] to eat?
 4:34  Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him
that sent me, and to finish his work.
 4:35  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.
 4:36  And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit
unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth
may rejoice together.
 4:37  And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another
reapeth.
 4:38  I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour:
other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
 4:39  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.
 4:40  So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought
him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
 4:41  And many more believed because of his own word;
 4:42  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.
 4:43  Now after two days he departed thence, and went into
Galilee.
 4:44  For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no
honour in his own country.
 4:45  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.
 4:46  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.
 4:47  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.
 4:48  Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and
wonders, ye will not believe.
 4:49  The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child
die.
 4:50  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.
 4:51  And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and
told [him], saying, Thy son liveth.
 4:52  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.
 4:53  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.
 4:54  This [is] again the second miracle [that] Jesus did,
when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
