John 4

1 But when Jesus knew about the rumor that the Pharisees had heard that He was more acquiring disciples and baptizing than John,
2 Although Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples,
3 He left Judah and went back to Galilee.

4 He needed to go through Samaria.
5 So He comes to the city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6th There was Jacob's well there. And Jesus, being troubled by the way, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7th A woman comes from Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
8 For his disciples went to the city to buy food.
9 The Samaritan woman says to Him, "How are you, being a Jew, asking to drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For the Jews do not communicate with the Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and whoever says to you, give me a drink, you yourself would ask of Him, and He would give you living water."
eleven The woman said to Him, Lord! You can not draw anything, and the well is deep; Where do you get the living water from?
12 Are you more than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Everyone that drinketh of this water shall long again,
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; But the water that I will give him will become in him a source of water flowing into eternal life.
15 The woman said to Him, Lord! Give me this water so that I do not have thirst and do not come here to scoop up.
16 Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband and come here."
17th The woman answered and said: I have no husband. Jesus tells her: the truth you said that you do not have a husband,
18 For you had five husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband; It's fair you said.
19 The woman said to Him: Lord! I see that You are a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you say that the place where you must worship is in Jerusalem.
21 Jesus saith unto her, Believe me, the time is coming, when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
22 You do not know what you are bowing to, but we know what we are bowing to, for salvation is from the Jews.
23 But the time will come and it is already when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father seeks such admirers.
24 God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.
25 The woman says to Him: I know that the Messiah will come, that is, Christ; When he comes, he will tell us all things.
26th Jesus saith unto her, I am he that speak unto thee.

27th At that time His disciples came, and were surprised that He talked with a woman; Yet none said: What do you require? Or: What are you talking about with her?
28 Then the woman left her water and went to the city, and says to the people:
29 Go and see the Man Who told me all that I did: is not He the Christ?
thirty They left the city and went to Him.
31 Meanwhile the disciples asked Him, saying: Rabbi! Eat.
32 But He said to them, "I have food that you do not know."
33 Therefore the disciples said to one another, "Who has brought Him to eat?"
34 Jesus said to them: My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to accomplish His work.
35 Do not you say that another four months, and the harvest will come? But I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, as they turned white and ripened to harvest.
36 The reaper receives a reward and gathers the fruit into eternal life, so that both sowing and reaping will rejoice together,
37 For in this case the saying is true: one sows, and another reaps.
38 I sent you to reap something that you did not work on: others worked, and you went into their work.
39 And many Samaritans from that city believed in Him at the word of a woman who testified that He told her all that she had done.
40 Therefore, when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them; And He stayed there two days.
41 And a greater number believed on His word.
42 And the woman was told: it is no longer by your words that we believe, for we ourselves have heard and learned that He is truly the Savior of the world, Christ.

43 At the end of two days He went out from there and went to Galilee,
44 For Jesus Himself testified that the prophet has no honor in his own country.
45 When He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all that He had done in Jerusalem on the feast-for they also went to the feast.
46 So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee, where he transformed water into wine. In Capernaum there was some courtier, whose son was sick.
47 When he heard that Jesus came from Judea to Galilee, he came to him and asked him to come and heal his son who was at death.
48 Jesus said to him, "You will not believe unless you see signs and wonders."
49 The courtier says to Him: Lord! Come, till my son is dead.
50 Jesus said to him, "Go, your son is well." He believed the word that Jesus had told him, and went.
51 On the road his servants met him and said: Your son is healthy.
52 He asked them: in what hour did he feel better? They told him: yesterday at seven o'clock the fever left him.
53 From this, the father learned that this was the hour in which Jesus said to him: "Your son is well, and he believed himself and his whole house."
54 This second miracle was created by Jesus, returning from Judea to Galilee.
