John 4:22-42

²²Ye worship that that ye know not; we worship that that we know; for health is of 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 Messiah is come, that is said 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?

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?

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

³¹In the meanwhile his disciples prayed him, and said, Master or Rabbi, eat.

³²But he said to them, I have meat to eat, that ye know not.

³³Therefore the disciples said together, Whether any man hath brought him meat 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.

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.

³⁶And he that reapeth taketh hire, and gathereth fruit into everlasting life; 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; 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, That he said to me all things that I have done.

⁴⁰Therefore when Samaritans came to him, they prayed him to dwell there; and he dwelt there two days.

⁴¹And many more believed for his word,

⁴²and said to the woman, That now not for thy speech we believe; for we have heard, and we know, that this is verily the Saviour of the world.
