John 4 — ASVBT
4Verse 1When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than JohnVerse 2(although Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),Verse 3he left Judea, and departed into Galilee.Verse 4And he must needs pass through Samaria.Verse 5So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:Verse 6and Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.Verse 7There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.Verse 8For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.Verse 9The 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.)Verse 10Jesus 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.Verse 11The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou that living water?Verse 12Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?Verse 13Jesus answered and said unto her, Everyone that drinketh of this water shall thirst again:Verse 14but 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.Verse 15The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.Verse 16Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.Verse 17The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:Verse 18for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.Verse 19The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.Verse 20Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.Verse 21Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.Verse 22Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.Verse 23But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshipers.Verse 24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.Verse 25The 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.Verse 26Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.Verse 27And upon this came his disciples; and they marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?Verse 28So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the people,Verse 29Come, see a man, who told me all things that ever I did: can this be the Christ?Verse 30They went out of the city, and were coming to him.Verse 31And in the meanwhile the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat.Verse 32But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not.Verse 33The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him aught to eat?Verse 34Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work.Verse 35Say 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.Verse 36And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.Verse 37For herein is verified the true saying, One soweth, and another reapeth.Verse 38I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not labored: others have labored, and ye are entered into their labor.Verse 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.Verse 40So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them: and he abode there two days.Verse 41And many more believed because of his word;Verse 42and 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 Savior of the world, the Christ.Verse 43And after the two days he went forth from thence, and went away into Galilee.Verse 44For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honor in his own country.Verse 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 unto the feast.Verse 46Jesus 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.Verse 47When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea 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.Verse 48Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe.Verse 49The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.Verse 50Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus spake unto him, and he went his way.Verse 51And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.Verse 52So he inquired of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.Verse 53So 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.Verse 54This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
