Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.\n \n7\u00a0There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.\n \n8\u00a0(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)\n \n9\u00a0Then 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.\n \n10\u00a0Jesus 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.\n \n11\u00a0The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?\n \n12\u00a0Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?\n \n13\u00a0Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:\n \n14\u00a0But 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.\n \n15\u00a0The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.\n \n16\u00a0Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.\n \n17\u00a0The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:\n \n18\u00a0For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.\n \n19\u00a0The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.\n \n20\u00a0Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.\n \n21\u00a0Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.\n \n22\u00a0Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.\n \n23\u00a0But 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.\n \n24\u00a0God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.\n \n25\u00a0The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.\n \n26\u00a0Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.\n \n27\u00a0And 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?\n \n28\u00a0The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,\n \n29\u00a0Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?\n \n30\u00a0Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.\n \n31\u00a0In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.\n \n32\u00a0But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.\n \n33\u00a0Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?\n \n34\u00a0Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.\n \n35\u00a0Say 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.\n \n36\u00a0And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.\n \n37\u00a0And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.\n \n38\u00a0I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.\n \n39\u00a0And 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.\n \n40\u00a0So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.\n \n41\u00a0And many more believed because of his own word;\n \n42\u00a0And 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.\n \n43\u00a0Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.\n \n44\u00a0For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.\n \n45\u00a0Then 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.\n \n46\u00a0So 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.\n \n47\u00a0When 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.\n \n48\u00a0Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.\n \n49\u00a0The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.\n \n50\u00a0Jesus 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.\n \n51\u00a0And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.\n \n52\u00a0Then 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.\n \n53\u00a0So 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.\n \n54\u00a0This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.","title":"King James Version: John: John Chapter 4","type":"page"}
