John 4:1
|
|
When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees
had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:2
|
|
(although Jesus himself baptized not, but his
disciples), |
| |
|
|
|
John 4:3
|
|
he left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.
|
| |
|
|
|
John 4:4
|
|
And
he must needs pass through Samaria. |
| |
|
|
|
John 4:5
|
|
So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar,
near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph: |
| |
|
|
|
John 4:6
|
|
and Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore,
being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
|
| |
|
|
|
John 4:7
|
|
There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water:
Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. |
|
|
|
|
John 4:8
|
|
For his disciples were gone away into the city
to buy food. |
|
|
|
|
John 4:9
|
|
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.) |
|
|
|
|
John 4:10
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
John 4:11
|
|
The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing
to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou that living water? |
|
|
|
|
John 4:12
|
|
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who
gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle? |
|
|
|
|
John 4:13
|
|
Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one
that drinketh of this water shall thirst again: |
|
|
|
|
John 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 become
in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life. |
|
|
|
|
John 4:15
|
|
The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this
water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw. |
|
|
|
|
John 4:16
|
|
Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband,
and come hither. |
|
|
|
|
John 4:17
|
|
The woman answered and said unto him, I have
no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband: |
|
|
|
|
John 4:18
|
|
for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom
thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly. |
|
|
|
|
John 4:19
|
|
The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that
thou art a prophet. |
| |
|
|
|
John 4:20
|
|
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and
ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. |
| |
|
|
|
John 4:21
|
|
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the
hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship
the Father. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:22
|
|
Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship
that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:23
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:24
|
|
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must
worship in spirit and truth. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:25
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:26
|
|
Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee
am he. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:27
|
|
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? |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:28
|
|
So the woman left her waterpot, and went away
into the city, and saith to the people, |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:29
|
|
Come, see a man, who told me all things that
ever I did: can this be the Christ? |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:30
|
|
They went out of the city, and were coming to
him. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:31
|
|
In the mean while the disciples prayed him,
saying, Rabbi, eat. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:32
|
|
But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that
ye know not. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:33
|
|
The disciples therefore said one to another,
Hath any man brought him aught to eat? |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:34
|
|
Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the
will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:35
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:36
|
|
He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth
fruit unto life eternal; that he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
|
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:37
|
|
For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and
another reapeth. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:38
|
|
I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not
labored: others have labored, and ye are entered into their labor. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:39
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:40
|
|
So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought
him to abide with them: and he abode there two days. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:41
|
|
And many more believed because of his word;
|
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:42
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:43
|
|
And after the two days he went forth from thence
into Galilee. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:44
|
|
For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet
hath no honor in his own country. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:45
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:46
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 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. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:48
|
|
Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see
signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:49
|
|
The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down
ere my child die. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:50
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:51
|
|
And as he was now going down, his servants met
him, saying, that his son lived. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:52
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:53
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
|
John 4:54
|
|
This is again the second sign that Jesus did,
having come out of Judaea into Galilee. |
| |
