John 4:25-54 ▼

25 The woman sayth vnto hym, I wote that Messias shal come, which is called Christe: when he is come, he wyll tell vs all thynges.

26 Iesus sayth vnto her: I that speake vnto thee, am he.

27 And immediatly came his disciples, and marueyled that he talked with the woman: Yet no man saide, what seekest thou, or why talkest thou with her?

28 The woman then left her water pot, and went her way into the citie, & sayth to the men:

29 Come, see a man which tolde me all thynges that euer I dyd: Is not he Christe?

30 Then they went out of the citie, and came vnto hym.

31 In the meane whyle his disciples prayed hym, saying: Maister, eate.

32 He sayde vnto them: I haue meate to eate that ye wote not of.

33 Therfore sayde the disciples among them selues: Hath any man brought hym ought to eate?

34 Iesus sayth vnto them: my meate is to do the wyll of hym that sent me, and to finishe his worke.

35 Say not ye, there are yet foure monethes, and then commeth haruest? Beholde, I say vnto you, lyft vp your eyes, and loke on the regions: for they are whyte alredy vnto haruest.

36 And he that reapeth, receaueth wages, and gathereth fruite vnto lyfe eternall: that both he that soweth, & he that reapeth, myght reioyce together.

37 And herein is the saying true, that one soweth, and another reapeth.

38 I sent you to reape that, wheron ye bestowed no labour. Other men laboured, and ye are entred into their labours.

39 Many of the Samaritanes of that citie beleued on hym, for the saying of the woman, which testified that he tolde her all that euer she dyd.

40 So, when the Samaritanes were come vnto hym, they besought hym that he would tary with them: And he abode there two dayes.

41 And many mo beleued, because of his owne worde,

42 And sayde vnto the woman: Nowe we beleue, not because of thy saying: for we haue heard him our selues, & know that this is euen Christe, the sauiour of the worlde.

43 After two dayes he departed thence, and went away into Galilee.

44 For Iesus hym selfe testified, that a prophete hath none honour in his owne countrey.

45 Then, assoone as he was come into Galilee, the Galileans receaued hym, when they had seene all the thynges that he dyd at Hierusalem, at the day of the feast. For they went also vnto the feast day.

46 So Iesus came agayne into Cana of Galilee, where he turned the water into wyne. And there was a certayne ruler, whose sonne was sicke at Capernaum.

47 Assoone as the same hearde that Iesus was come out of Iurie into Galilee, he went vnto hym, and besought hym that he woulde come downe, and heale his sonne: For he was euen at the poynt of death.

48 Then sayde Iesus vnto hym: except ye see signes and wonders, ye wyll not beleue.

49 The ruler sayth vnto hym: Syr, come downe or euer that my sonne dye.

50 Iesus sayth vnto hym: Go thy way, thy sonne lyueth. The man beleued the worde that Iesus had spoken vnto hym, and he went his way.

51 And as he was nowe goyng downe, the seruauntes met hym, and tolde him, saying, thy sonne lyueth.

52 Then enquired he of them the houre, when he began to amende. And they sayde vnto hym: Yesterday at the seuenth houre, the feuer left hym.

53 So the father knewe, that it was the same houre, in the which Iesus sayde vnto hym thy sonne lyueth: And he beleued, and all his householde.

54 This is agayne the seconde miracle, that Iesus dyd, when he was come out of Iurie into Galilee.
