1When therefore Jesus 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-- 3he left Judea, and departed again into Galilee. 4And he must surely pass through Samaria. 5So he comes to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph: 6and Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour. 7There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus says to her, Give me a drink. 8For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. 9The Samaritan woman therefore says to him, How is it that you, being a Jew, ask me for a drink, being a Samaritan woman? For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. 10Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, Give me a drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water. 11The woman says to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from where then do you have that living water? 12Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle? 13Jesus answered and said to her, Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again: 14but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life. 15The woman says to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, neither come all the way here to draw. 16He says to her, Go, call your husband, and come here. 17The woman answered and said to him, I have no husband. Jesus says to her, You said well, I have no husband: 18for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband: this you have said truly. 19The woman says to him, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. 20Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and you{+} say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you{+} worship the Father. 22You{+} worship that which you{+} don't know: we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews. 23But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such does the Father seek to be his worshipers. 24God is spirit: and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth. 25The woman says to him, I know that Messiah comes (he who is called Christ): when he has come, he will declare to us all things. 26Jesus says to her, I am he who speaks to you. 27And on this his disciples came; and they marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What do you seek? Or, Why do you speak with her? 28So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and says to the people, 29Come, see a man, who told me all things that I ever did: can this be the Christ? 30They went out of the city, and were coming to him. 31In the meanwhile the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat. 32But he said to them, I have meat to eat that you{+} do not know. 33The disciples therefore said one to another, Has any man brought him [anything] to eat? 34Jesus says to them, My meat is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work. 35Don't you{+} say, There are yet four months, and [then] comes the harvest? Look, I say to you{+}, Lift up your{+} eyes, and look at the fields, that they are white to harvest. 36Already he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to eternal life; that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37For in this is the saying true, One sows, and another reaps. 38I sent you{+} to reap that for which you{+} have not labored: others have labored, and you{+} have entered into their labor. 39And 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. 40So when the Samaritans came to him, they implored him to stay with them: and he stayed there two days. 41And many more believed because of his word; 42and 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 Savior of the world. 43And after the two days he went forth from there into Galilee. 44For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet has no honor in his own country. 45So 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. 46He came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. 47When he heard that Jesus came out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and implored [him] that he would come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death. 48Jesus therefore said to him, Except you{+} see signs and wonders, you{+} will in no way believe. 49The nobleman says to him, Sir, come down before my child dies. 50Jesus says to him, Go your way; your son lives. The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way. 51And as he was now going down, his slaves met him, saying, that his boy lived. 52So he inquired of them the hour when he began to amend. They said therefore to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. 53So the father knew that [it was] at that hour in which Jesus said to him, Your son lives: and himself believed, and his whole house. 54Now this is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
