John 4:21-40

²¹Jesus saith to her, Woman, believe thou to me, for the hour shall come, when neither in this hill, neither in Jerusalem, ye shall worship the Father.

²²Ye worship that that ye know not; we worship that that we know; for health is of the Jews, (or for salvation is from the Jews, or salvation cometh from the Jews).

²³But the time is come, and now it is, when true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeketh such, that worship him.

²⁴God is a Spirit, and it behooveth them that worship him, to worship in spirit and truth.

²⁵The woman saith to him, I know that Messias is (to) come, that is said Christ, (or I know that the Messiah is to come, who is called Christ); therefore when he cometh, he shall tell us all things.

²⁶Jesus saith to her, I am he or I am, that speaketh with thee.

²⁷And anon his disciples came, and wondered, that he spake with the woman; nevertheless no man said to him, What seekest thou, or, What speakest thou with her? (And at once his disciples came back, and were surprised, that he spoke with the woman; nevertheless no one said to him, Why speakest thou with her?)

²⁸Therefore the woman left her water pot, and went into the city, and said to the men,

²⁹Come ye, and see a man, that said to me all things that I have done; whether he be Christ? (or could he be the Messiah?)

³⁰And they went out of the city, and came to him.

³¹In the meanwhile his disciples prayed him, and said, Master or Rabbi, eat. (Meanwhile his disciples beseeched him, and said, Teacher, have something to eat.)

³²But he said to them, I have meat to eat, that ye know not (of). (But he said to them, I have food to eat, that ye know nothing about.)

³³Therefore the disciples said together, Whether any man hath brought him meat to eat? (And so the disciples said to each other, Hath someone else brought him something to eat?)

³⁴Jesus saith to them, My meat is that I do the will of him that sent me, and that I perform the work of him. (Jesus said to them, My food is that I do the will of him who sent me, until I finish his work.)

³⁵Whether ye say not, that yet four months be, and ripe corn cometh? Lo! I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see ye the fields, for now they be white to reap. (Do ye not say, that there still be four months, and then the harvest shall come? Behold! I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see ye the fields, for they be ready to be harvested now!)

³⁶And he that reapeth taketh hire, and gathereth fruit into everlasting life, (or And he who harvesteth receiveth his wages, and gathereth crops for eternal life); (so) that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth, have joy together.

³⁷In this thing is the word true, For one is that soweth, and another that reapeth.

³⁸I sent you to reap, that that ye have not travailed, (or I sent you to harvest, that which ye have not laboured over); other men have travailed, and ye have entered into their travails.

³⁹And of that city many of the Samaritans believed in him, for the word of the woman, that bare witnessing (or who testified), That he said to me all (the) things that I have done, or For he said to me all (the) things, whatever I did.

⁴⁰Therefore when (the) Samaritans came to him, they prayed him to dwell there (or they beseeched him to remain there); and he dwelt there two days.
