| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2(although Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples were), |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3He left Judea and went away again into Galilee. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4And He had to pass through Samaria. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5So He came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph; |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6and Jacob's well was there. So Jesus, being wearied from His journey, was sitting thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink." |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Therefore the Samaritan woman said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Jesus answered and said to 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." |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11She said to Him, "Sir, You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep; where then do You get that living water? |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12"You are not greater than our father Jacob, are You, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself and his sons and his cattle?" |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life." |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15The woman said to Him, "Sir, give me this water, so I will not be thirsty nor come all the way here to draw." |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16He said to her, "Go, call your husband and come here." |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17The woman answered and said, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You have correctly said, 'I have no husband'; |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; this you have said truly." |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19The woman said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20"Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship." |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22"You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23"But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24"God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25The woman said to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ); when that One comes, He will declare all things to us." |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am He." |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27At this point His disciples came, and they were amazed that He had been speaking with a woman, yet no one said, "What do You seek?" or, "Why do You speak with her?" |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28So the woman left her waterpot, and went into the city and said to the men, |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29"Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done; this is not the Christ, is it?" |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30They went out of the city, and were coming to Him. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31Meanwhile the disciples were urging Him, saying, "Rabbi, eat." |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32But He said to them, "I have food to eat that you do not know about." |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33So the disciples were saying to one another, "No one brought Him anything to eat, did he?" |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work. |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35"Do you not say, 'There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest '? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest. |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36"Already he who reaps is receiving wages and is gathering fruit for life eternal; so that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37"For in this case the saying is true, 'One sows and another reaps.' |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38"I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored and you have entered into their labor." |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39From that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, "He told me all the things that I have done." |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40So when the Samaritans came to Jesus, they were asking Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41Many more believed because of His word; |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42and they were saying to the woman, "It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this One is indeed the Savior of the world." |
| 43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43After the two days He went forth from there into Galilee. |
| 44[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 44For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country. |
| 45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all the things that He did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they themselves also went to the feast. |
| 46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46Therefore He came again to Cana of Galilee where He had made the water wine. And there was a royal official whose son was sick at Capernaum. |
| 47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and was imploring Him to come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death. |
| 48[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 48So Jesus said to him, "Unless you people see signs and wonders, you simply will not believe." |
| 49[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 49The royal official said to Him, "Sir, come down before my child dies." |
| 50[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 50Jesus said to him, "Go; your son lives." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and started off. |
| 51[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 51As he was now going down, his slaves met him, saying that his son was living. |
| 52[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 52So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. Then they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him." |
| 53[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 53So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives"; and he himself believed and his whole household. |
| 54[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 54This is again a second sign that Jesus performed when He had come out of Judea into Galilee. |
