1 - When Jesus therefore understood the Pharisees had heard that Jesus maketh more disciples and baptizeth more than John
2 - (Though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples),
3 - He left Judea and went again into Galilee.
4 - And he was of necessity to pass through Samaria.
5 - He cometh therefore to a city of Samaria, which is called Sichar, near the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 - Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 - There cometh a woman of Samaria, to draw water. Jesus saith to her: Give me to drink.
8 - For his disciples were gone into the city to buy meats.
9 - Then that Samaritan woman saith to him: How dost thou, being a Jew; ask of me to drink, who am a Samaritan woman? For the Jews do not communicate with the Samaritans.
10 - Jesus answered and said to her: If thou didst know the gift of God and who he is that saith to thee: Give me to drink; thou perhaps wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
11 - The woman saith to him: Sir, thou hast nothing wherein to draw, and the well is deep. From whence then hast thou living water?
12 - Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank thereof, himself and his children and his cattle?
13 - Jesus answered and said to her: Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: but he that shall drink of the water that I will give him shall not thirst for ever.
14 - But the water that I will give him shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into life everlasting.
15 - The woman said to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.
16 - Jesus saith to her: Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 - The woman answered and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: Thou hast said well: I have no husband.
18 - For thou hast had five husbands: and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband. This, thou hast said truly.
19 - The woman saith to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 - Our fathers adored on this mountain: and you say that at Jerusalem is the place where men must adore.
21 - Jesus saith to her: Woman, believe me that the hour cometh, when you shall neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, adore the Father.
22 - You adore that which you know not: we adore that which we know. For salvation is of the Jews.
23 - But the hour cometh and now is, when the true adorers shall adore the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeketh such to adore him.
24 - God is a spirit: and they that adore him must adore him in spirit and in truth.
25 - The woman saith to him: I know that the Messias cometh (who is called Christ): therefore, when he is come, he will tell us all things.
26 - Jesus saith to her: I am he, who am speaking with thee.
27 - And immediately his disciples came. And they wondered that he talked with the woman. Yet no man said: What seekest thou? Or: Why talkest thou with her?
28 - The woman therefore left her waterpot and went her way into the city and saith to the men there:
29 - Come, and see a man who has told me all things whatsoever I have done. Is not he the Christ?
30 - They went therefore out of the city and came unto him.
31 - In the mean time, the disciples prayed him, saying: Rabbi, eat.
32 - But he said to them: I have meat to eat which you know not.
33 - The disciples therefore said one to another: Hath any man brought him to eat?
34 - Jesus saith to them: My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, that I may perfect his work.
35 - Do not you say: There are yet four months, and then the harvest cometh? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see the countries. For they are white already to harvest.
36 - And he that reapeth receiveth wages and gathereth fruit unto life everlasting: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
37 - For in this is the saying true: That it is one man that soweth, and it is another that reapeth.
38 - I have sent you to reap that in which you did not labour. Others have laboured: and you have entered into their labours.
39 - Now of that city many of the Samaritans believed in him, for the word of the woman giving testimony: He told me all things whatsoever I have done.
40 - So when the Samaritans were come to him, they desired that he would tarry there. And he abode there two days.
41 - And many more believed in him, because of his own word.
42 - And they said to the woman: We now believe, not for thy saying: for we ourselves have heard him and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.
43 - Now after two days, he departed thence and went into Galilee.
44 - For Jesus himself gave testimony that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
45 - And when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things he had done at Jerusalem on the festival day: for they also went to the festival day.
46 - He came again therefore into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capharnaum.
47 - He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, sent to him and prayed him to come down and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
48 - Jesus therefore said to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not.
49 - The ruler saith to him: Lord, come down before that my son die.
50 - Jesus saith to him: Go thy way. Thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him and went his way.
51 - And as he was going down, his servants met him: and they brought word, saying, that his son lived.
52 - He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And they said to him: Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.
53 - The father therefore knew that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him: Thy son liveth. And himself believed, and his whole house.
54 - This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea. into Galilee.
