John 4:25-54 ▼

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 Capernaum.

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.
