John 4

JuliaSmith^{(i) 1} Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus makes and baptizes more disciples than John, ² (Though Jesus himself immersed not, but his disciples,) ³ He left Judea, and departed again into Galilee. ⁴ And it was necessary for him to pass through Samaria. ⁵ Then comes he to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the place which Jacob gave to Joseph his son. ⁶ And Jacob's spring was there. Then Jesus, wearied with the journey, sat thus by the spring: it was about the sixth hour. ⁷ A woman of Samaria comes to draw water: Jesus says to her, Give me to drink. ⁸ (For his disciples were gone into the city that they might buy food.) ⁹ Then says the Samaritan woman to him, How thou, being a Jew, askest of me to drink, being a Samaritan woman? for the Jews have no intercourse with the Samaritans. ¹⁰ And Jesus answered and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who he is saying to thee, Give me to drink: thou hadst asked him, and he had given thee living water. ¹¹ The woman says to him, Lord, thou hest no vessel for drawing, and the well is deep; whence then hast thou the living water? ¹² Thou art not greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and he himself drank of it, and his sons, and his young animals. ¹³ Jesus answered and said to her, All drinking of this water shall thirst again: ¹⁴ But whoever should drink of the water which I shall give him, shall never thirst; but the water which I shall give him shall be in him a spring of water springing up to eternal life. ¹⁵ The woman says to him, Lord, give me this water, that I thirst not, nor come here to draw. ¹⁶ Jesus says to her, Retire, call thy husband, and come here. ¹⁷ The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus says to her, Thou sayest well, That I have no husband: ¹⁸ For thou hadst five husbands; and now he whom thou hast is not thy husband: this thou saidst true. ¹⁹ The woman says to him, Lord, I see that thou art a prophet. ²⁰ Our fathers worshipped in this mount; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where they must worship. ²¹ Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, that the hour comes, when neither in this mount, neither in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father. ²² Ye worship what ye know not: we worship what we know: for salvation is of the Jews. ²³ But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeks such worshipping him. ²⁴ God a Spirit: and they worshipping him must worship in spirit and truth. ²⁵ The woman says to him, I know that Messias comes, called Christ: when he should come, he will announce all things to us. ²⁶ Jesus says to her, I am he speaking to thee. ²⁷ And upon this his disciples came, and they wondered that he spake with the woman: yet none said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her? ²⁸ The woman then left her water buckets and departed to the city, and says to the men, ²⁹ Come, see a man, who told me all which I ever did: is not this Christ? ³⁰ Then went they forth out of the city, and came to him. ³¹ And in the mean time the disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, eat. ³² And he said to them, I have food to eat which ye know not. ³³ Then said the disciples to one another, Has any one brought him to eat? ³⁴ Jesus says to them, My food is that I might do the will of him having sent me, and finish his work. ³⁵ Say ye not, That there is yet the fourth month, and harvest comes? behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and behold the countries; for they are already white for harvest. ³⁶ And he reaping receives wages, and gathers fruit to eternal life: that he sowing might rejoice together and he reaping. ³⁷ For in this the word is true, That one is sowing, and another reaping. ³⁸ I sent you to reap that with which ye have not been wearied: some have been wearied, and others have come into their labor. ³⁹ And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in him for the woman's word testifying, That he told me all which I ever did. ⁴⁰ When therefore the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to remain with them: and he remained there two days. ⁴¹ And many more believed on account of his word; ⁴² And they said to the woman, That we no more believe for thy speaking: for we ourselves have heard and know, that this is truly Christ, the Saviour of the world. ⁴³ And after two days he came out thence, and departed to Galilee. ⁴⁴ For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet has no honour in his own country. ⁴⁵ When therefore he came to Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all which he did in Jerusalem in the festival: for they also came to the festival. ⁴⁶ Then came Jesus again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain royal one, whose son was sick in Capernanm. ⁴⁷ He, having heard that Jesus was come from Judea to Galilee, went away to him, and asked him that he would go down and heal his son: for he was about to die. ⁴⁸ Then said Jesus to him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye would not believe. ⁴⁹ The royal one says to Him, Lord, go down before my child dies. ⁵⁰ Jesus says to him, Go; thy son lives. And the man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and he went. ⁵¹ And he already going down, his servants met him, and announced, saying, That thy child lives. ⁵² Then he inquired of them the hour in which he was attended to. And they said to him, That yesterday the seventh hour the fever left him. ⁵³ Then the father knew that in that hour in which Jesus said to him, That thy son lives: and he believed, and his whole house. ⁵⁴ This second sign Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
