John 4:22-43

²²Ye worship that which ye knowe not: we worship that which we knowe: for saluation is of the Iewes.

²³But the houre commeth, and nowe is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit, and trueth: for the Father requireth euen such to worship him.

²⁴God is a Spirite, and they that worship him, must worship him in spirit and trueth.

²⁵The woman said vnto him, I knowe well that Messias shall come which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell vs all things.

²⁶Iesus said vnto her, I am he, that speake vnto thee.

²⁷And vpon that, came his disciples, and marueiled that he talked with a woman: yet no man said vnto him, What askest thou? or why talkest thou with her?

²⁸The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the citie, and said to the men,

²⁹Come, see a man which hath tolde me all things that euer I did: is not he that Christ?

³⁰Then they went out of the citie, and came vnto him.

³¹In the meane while, the disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eate.

³²But he said vnto them, I haue meate to eate that ye know not of.

³³Then said ye disciples betweene themselues, Hath any man brought him meate?

³⁴Iesus saide vnto them, My meate is that I may doe the will of him that sent me, and finish his worke.

³⁵Say not ye, There are yet foure moneths, and then commeth haruest? Beholde, I say vnto you, Lift vp your eyes, and looke on the regions: for they are white alreadie vnto haruest.

³⁶And he that reapeth, receiueth rewarde, and gathereth fruite vnto life eternall, that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth, might reioyce together.

³⁷For herein is the saying true, that one soweth, and an other reapeth.

³⁸I sent you to reape that, whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entred into their labours.

³⁹Nowe many of the Samaritans of that citie beleeued in him, for the saying of the woman which testified, He hath tolde me all things that euer I did.

⁴⁰Then when the Samaritans were come vnto him, they besought him, that he woulde tarie with them: and he abode there two dayes.

⁴¹And many moe beleeued because of his owne word.

⁴²And they said vnto the woman, Nowe we beleeue, not because of thy saying: for we haue heard him our selues, and knowe that this is in deede that Christ the Sauiour of the world.

⁴³So two dayes after he departed thence, and went into Galile.
