¹Therefore when Jesus knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus makes more disciples and immerses than John —

²and certainly indeed Jesus Himself was not immersing, but his disciples —

³He left Judea and went away again into Galilee.

⁴Now it was necessary for Him to pass through Samaria.

⁵Therefore He comes to a city of Samaria named Sychar, nearby the plot of ground that Jacob gave to Joseph his son;

⁶now the well of Jacob was there. Therefore Jesus, already wearying from the journey, was sitting thus at the well; the hour was about the sixth.

⁷A woman comes out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus says to her, "Give Me to drink."

⁸For his disciples had gone away into the city, that they may buy food.

⁹Therefore the Samaritan woman says to Him, "How do you yourself, being a Jew, ask to drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?" For Jews have not association with Samaritans.

¹⁰Jesus answered and said to her, "If you had known the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to you, 'Give Me to drink,' you yourself then would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."

¹¹The woman says to Him, "Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; from where then have You the water which is living?

¹²Are You yourself greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself drank its, and his sons, and his livestock?"

¹³Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who is drinking of this water will thirst again;

¹⁴however whoever may drink of the water that I myself will give to him, certainly will not thirst forever; instead the water that I will give to him will become in him a spring of water welling up into eternal life."

¹⁵The woman says to Him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw."

¹⁶Jesus says to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."

¹⁷The woman answered and said to Him, "I have not a husband." Jesus says to her, "Correctly you have spoken, that 'A husband I have not';

¹⁸for five husbands you have had, and now he whom you have is not your husband; this truly you have spoken."

¹⁹The woman says to Him, "Sir, I understand that You yourself are a prophet.

²⁰Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you yourselves say that in Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary to worship."

²¹Jesus says to her, "Trust Me, madam, that an hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

²²You yourselves worship what you do not know; we ourselves worship what we know, for the salvation is of the Jews.

²³But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father also seeks such who worship Him.

²⁴God is Spirit, and those who worship Him it behooves to worship in spirit and truth."

²⁵The woman says to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming, who is called the Anointed One; when He may come, He will tell us all things."

²⁶Jesus says to her, "I am He, who is speaking to you."

²⁷And upon this his disciples came and were amazed that He was speaking with a woman; however no one said, "What do You seek?" or "Why do You speak with her?"

²⁸Then the woman left her water pot and went away into the city and says to the men,

²⁹"Come, see a man who told me all things, as much as I did; surely not ever this is the Anointed One?"

³⁰Therefore they went forth out of the city and were coming unto Him.

³¹Now in the meantime the disciples were asking Him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."

³²But He said to them, "I myself have food to eat that you yourselves do not know."

³³Therefore the disciples were saying to one another, "Surely not one did bring Him something to eat?"

³⁴Jesus says to them, "My own food is that I may do the will of the One who sent Me, and may finish his work.

³⁵Do you yourselves not say that yet four months it is, and the harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and see the fields, because white they are toward harvest already!

³⁶And the one who reaps receives a wage and gathers fruit unto eternal life, so that both who is sowing and who is reaping may rejoice together.

³⁷For in this the saying is true, that one is who is sowing and another is the one who reaps.

³⁸I myself sent you to reap what you yourselves have not toiled for; others have toiled, and you yourselves have entered into their labor."

³⁹Now out of that city many of the Samaritans trusted in Him because of the word of the woman testifying that "He told me all things whatever I did."

⁴⁰Therefore when the Samaritans came to Him, they were asking Him to abide with them; and He stayed there two days.

⁴¹And many more trusted because of his word,

⁴²and to the woman they were saying that "No longer because of your speech do we trust; for we ourselves have heard and we know that this is truly the Savior of the world, the Anointed One."

⁴³Then after the two days He went forth from there and went away into Galilee.

⁴⁴For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has not honor in the own hometown.

⁴⁵When therefore He came into Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all things, how much He had done in Jerusalem during the festival; for themselves also they had gone to the festival.

⁴⁶Therefore He came, Jesus, again to Cana of Galilee, where He had made the water wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son was sick in Capernaum.

⁴⁷He having heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, went to Him and was asking him that He may come down and may heal his son; for he was about to die.

⁴⁸Therefore Jesus said to him, "Unless you people may see signs and wonders, certainly you shall not trust."

⁴⁹The royal official says to Him, "Sir, come down before my child to die."

⁵⁰Jesus says to him, "Go, your son lives." And the man trusted in the word that Jesus said to him, and he was going.

⁵¹Then already when he is going down, his slaves met with him and reported, saying that his boy lives.

⁵²Therefore he inquired the hour from them in which he got better. And they said therefore to him that "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."

⁵³Therefore the father knew that it was in that very hour at which Jesus said to him that "Your son lives." And he himself trusted, and his household all.

⁵⁴Now this is again the second sign Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
