'Now2when1Jesus5learned3that6the8Pharisees9had heard7that10Jesus11was making14and15baptizing16more12disciples13than17John18 (although1Jesus2himself3did5not4baptize,5but6onlyhis9disciples),8 he left1Judea3and4departed5again6for7Galilee.9 And2he3had to1pass4through5Samaria.7 So2he came1to3a town4of Samaria6called7Sychar,8near9the10field11that12Jacob14had given13to18his19son18Joseph.16 Jacob’s56well4was1there;3so8Jesus,9wearied10as he wasfrom11hisjourney,13was sitting14beside16the17well.18It was20about21the sixth22hour.19 A woman2from3Samaria5came1to draw6water.7Jesus11said8to her,9“Give12me13adrink.”14 (For2his4disciples3had gone away5into6the7city8to buy911food.)10 The4Samaritan7woman5said1to him,3“How8is it11thatyou,9a Jew,10ask for15adrink14from12me,13a woman16of Samaria?”17(For20Jews22have21no19dealings with21Samaritans.)23 Jesus2answered1her,5“If6you knew7the8gift9of God,11and12who13it is14that is saying16to you,17‘Give18me19adrink,’20you21would have asked2223him,24and25he would have given2627you28living30water.”29 The3woman4said1to him,2“Sir,5you have8nothing6to draw [water] with,7and9the10well11is12deep.13Where14doyou get16that17living20water?18 Are4you2greater than3our7father6Jacob?8He9gave10us11the12well13and14drank18from16it17himself,15as [did]19his22sons21and23his26livestock.”25 Jesus2said4to her,5“Everyone67who drinks8of9this12water11will be thirsty13again,14 but2whoever13drinks4of5the6water7that8I9will give10him11will14never1213151617be thirsty14again.The19water20that21I will give22him23will become24in25him26a spring27of water28welling up29to30eternal32life.”31 The4woman5said1to2him,3“Sir,6give7me8this9water,11so that12I will14not13be thirsty14or15have to come16here17to draw18water.” [Jesus] said1to her,2“Go,3call4your7husband,6and8come9here.”10 The2woman3answered1him,6“I have8no7husband.”9Jesus13said10to her,11“You areright14in saying,15‘I have19no18husband’;17 for2you have had4five1husbands,3and5the one7you8now6have8is10not9your11husband.12[What]13you have said15istrue.”14 The3woman4said1to him,2“Sir,5I perceive6that7you10are9a prophet.8 Our3fathers2worshiped8on4this7mountain,6but9you10say11that12in13Jerusalem14is15the16place17where18people ought20to worship.”19 Jesus4said1to her,2“Woman,7believe5me,6the hour10is coming9when11neither12on13this16mountain15nor17in18Jerusalem19will you worship20the21Father.22 You1worship2what3you do5not4know;5we6worship7what8we know,9for10salvation12is16from13the14Jews.15 But1the hour3is coming,2and4is6now5here,when7the8true9worshipers10will worship11the12Father13in14spirit15and16truth,17for19the20Father21is seeking23such22people24to worship25him.26 God3isspirit,1and4those5who worship6him7must12worship13in8spirit9and10truth.”11 The3woman4said1to him,2“I know5that6Messiah7is coming8(he9who is called10Christ).11When12he14comes,13he will tell15us16all things.”17 Jesus4said1to her,2“I5who speak8to you9am6he.” Just2then3his7disciples6came4back.They marveled9that10he was talking13with11a woman,12but15no one14said,16“What17doyou seek?”18or,19“Why20are you talking21with22her?”23 So2the6woman7left1her5water jar4and8went away9into10town12and13said14to the15people,16 “Come,1see2a man3who4told5me6all7that8I9ever8did.9[Can]10this11be12the13Christ?”14 They went1out of2the3town4and5were coming6to7him.8 Meanwhile123the6disciples7were urging4him,5saying,8“Rabbi,9eat.”10 But2he1said3to them,4“I5have7food6to eat8that9you10donot11know about.”12 So2the3disciples4said1to5one another,6“Has9anyone8brought9him10somethingto eat?”11 Jesus4said1to them,2“My5food6is7to do89the10will11of him12who sent13me14and15to accomplish16his17work.19 Doyou2not1say,3‘There are7yet5four months,6then8comes11the9harvest’?10Look,12I tell13you,14lift up15your18eyes,17and19see20that23the21fields22are25white24for26harvest.27Already28 Alreadythe one1who reaps2is receiving4wages3and5gathering6fruit7for8eternal10life,9so that11sower13and16reaper18may rejoice15together.14 For2here3the4saying5holds6true,7‘One9sows12and13another14reaps.’16 I1sent2you3to reap4that for which5you7did8not6labor.10Others9have labored,10and11you12have entered17into13their16labor.”15 Many6Samaritans11from1that5town4believed7in8him9because of12the15woman’s16testimony,17“He told19me20all21that22I ever did.”23 So2when1the6Samaritans7came3to4him,5they asked8him9to stay10with11them,12and13he stayed14there15two16days.17 And1many2more3believed4because of5his8word.7 They said4to the1woman,3“It isno longer6because of7what8you9said10that5we believe,11for13we have heard14forourselves,12and15we know16that17this18is19indeed20the21Savior22of the23world.”24 After1the3two4days5he departed6for8Galilee.10 (For2Jesus3himself1had testified4that5a prophet6has13no12honor11in7his own9hometown.)10 So2when1he came3to4Galilee,6the9Galileans10welcomed7him,8having seen12all11that13he had done14in15Jerusalem16at17the18feast.19For22they21too20had gone23to24the25feast.26 So2he came1again3to4Cana6in Galilee,8where9he had made10the11water12wine.13And14at22Capernaum23there was15an16official17whose18son20was ill.21 When2this man1heard2that3Jesus4had come5from6Judea8to9Galilee,11he went12to13him14and15asked16himto come down1718and19heal20his21son,23for25he was at the point of24death.26 So2Jesus4said1to5him,6“Unless78you see12signs9and10wonders11you will15not1314believe.”15 The4official5said1to2him,3“Sir,6come down7before8my12child11dies.”9 Jesus4said1to him,2“Go;5your8son7[will] live.”9The11man12believed10the13word14that15Jesus19spoke16to him17and20went on his way.21 As4he3was going down,4his7servants6met8him9andtold10himthat11his14son13was recovering.15 So2he asked1them6the3hour4when78he began to get better,910and12they said11to him,13“Yesterday15at the seventh17hour16the20fever21left18him.”13 The3father4knew1that7wasthe8hour9when1011Jesus15had said12to him,13“Your18son17[will] live.”19And20he himself22believed,21and23all27his22household.25 This1wasnow2thesecond4sign5thatJesus8did6when he had come9from10Judea12to13Galilee.15
