verso 1

Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John


verso 2

(although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),


verso 3

he left Judea and departed into Galilee.


verso 4

He needed to pass through Samaria.


verso 5

So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.


verso 6

Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.


verso 7

A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”


verso 8

For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.


verso 9

The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)


verso 10

Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”


verso 11

The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?


verso 12

Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?”


verso 13

Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,


verso 14

but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”


verso 15

The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”


verso 16

Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”


verso 17

The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’


verso 18

for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”


verso 19

The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.


verso 20

Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”


verso 21

Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.


verso 22

You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.


verso 23

But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.


verso 24

God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”


verso 25

The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”


verso 26

Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”


verso 27

Just then, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”


verso 28

So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,


verso 29

“Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?”


verso 30

They went out of the city, and were coming to him.


verso 31

In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”


verso 32

But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”


verso 33

The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”


verso 34

Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.


verso 35

Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest?’ Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.


verso 36

He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.


verso 37

For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’


verso 38

I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”


verso 39

From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “He told me everything that I have done.”


verso 40

So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.


verso 41

Many more believed because of his word.


verso 42

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 Christ, the Savior of the world.”


verso 43

After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.


verso 44

For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.


verso 45

So 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.


verso 46

Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.


verso 47

When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.


verso 48

Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”


verso 49

The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”


verso 50

Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.


verso 51

As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”


verso 52

So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.”


verso 53

So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” He believed, as did his whole house.


verso 54

This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
