John 4:24-41 in English

²⁴ God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.

²⁵ The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh (he that is called Christ): when he is come, he will declare unto us all things.

²⁶ Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

²⁷ And upon this came his disciples; and they marvelled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?

²⁸ So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the people,

²⁹ Come, see a man, who told me all things that ever I did: can this be the Christ?

³⁰ They went out of the city, and were coming to him.

³¹ In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat.

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

³³ The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him aught to eat?

³⁴ Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work.

³⁵ Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white already unto harvest.

³⁶ He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

³⁷ For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

³⁸ I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not labored: others have labored, and ye are entered into their labor.

³⁹ And from that city many of the Samaritans believed on him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all things that ever I did.

⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them: and he abode there two days.

⁴¹ And many more believed because of his word;

²⁴ God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

²⁵ The woman said to Him, “I know that the Messiah (who is called Christ) is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”

²⁶ Jesus told her, “I who speak to you am He.”

²⁷ Just then Jesus’ disciples returned. They were surprised to find him talking with a woman, but no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?”

²⁸ Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and began telling the people,

²⁹ “Come, see a man who told me everything that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”

³⁰ They went out of the city, and started to go to Him.

³¹ Meanwhile, the disciples urged Him, saying “Rabbi, eat something.”

³² He told them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”

³³ So the disciples asked one another, “Nobody brought Him anything to eat, did they?”

³⁴ Jesus told them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent me, and to accomplish His work.

³⁵ Don’t you say, ‘It’s still four months until the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.

³⁶ He who harvests is already receiving wages, and is gathering fruit for eternal life, so that he who plants and he who harvests may rejoice together.

³⁷ Thus the saying ‘One plants and another harvests’ is true.

³⁸ I sent you to harvest that for which you didn’t labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”

³⁹ Many Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything that I ever did.”

⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans arrived, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed there two days.

⁴¹ Many more believed because of His words.

²⁴ God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

²⁵ The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

²⁶ Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

²⁷ And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?

²⁸ The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,

²⁹ Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

³⁰ Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

³¹ In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.

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

³³ Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?

³⁴ Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

³⁵ Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

³⁶ And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

³⁷ And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

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

³⁹ And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.

⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.

⁴¹ And many more believed because of his own word;

²⁴ God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.

²⁵ The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh (which is called Christ): when he is come, he will declare unto us all things.

²⁶ Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

²⁷ And upon this came his disciples; and they marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?

²⁸ So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the men,

²⁹ Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: can this be the Christ?

³⁰ They went out of the city, and were coming to him.

³¹ In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat.

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

³³ The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him aught to eat?

³⁴ Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work.

³⁵ Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white already unto harvest.

³⁶ He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

³⁷ For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

³⁸ I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not laboured: others have laboured, and ye are entered into their labour.

³⁹ And from that city many of the Samaritans believed on him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all things that ever I did.

⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them: and he abode there two days.

⁴¹ And many more believed because of his word;

²⁴ God is a spiritual being. So it is necessary that those who worship him must worship him as his Spirit directs and according to God's truth.”

²⁵ The woman said to him, “I know that the Messiah is coming. When he comes, he will tell us everything we need to know.” ('Messiah❜ and ❛Christ❜ both mean ❛God's promised king❜.)

²⁶ Jesus said to her, “I, the one speaking to you, am the Messiah!”

²⁷ Just then we disciples returned from town. Since it was contrary to our custom for Jewish religious teachers to converse with a woman they did not know, we were surprised that he was talking to a woman. However, none of us asked her, “What do you want?” and none of us asked him, “Why are you talking with her?”

²⁸ The woman left her water jar there and went into the town. She said to the people there,

²⁹ “Come and see a man who was able to tell me all about my past life HYP, even though I never met him before Could this man be the Messiah?”

³⁰ So many people left the town and started going to where Jesus was.

³¹ Meanwhile, we disciples were urging him, “Teacher, eat some of the food we brought!”

³² But he said to us, “I have food to eat that you do not know anything about!”

³³ So we started saying to each other, “◄Surely no one has brought him any food when we were not here!/Has anyone brought him any food when we were not here?► RHQ”

³⁴ Jesus said to us, “Doing what my Father who sent me wants me to do and finishing the work he gave me to do is ◄ what sustains me/like my food► MET.

³⁵ At this time of the year you are saying (OR, your ancestors used to say), ‘There are four months left before we harvest the crops.’ But I say to you, look carefully at the non-Jewish people around here. God says, ‘They are ready to accept my message MET, like crops in fields that are ready for people to harvest.

³⁶ If you help them to accept my message, I will reward you MET, as an owner of a field pays those who harvest the crops. Because of your work, people will gain eternal life.’ I have been telling people God's message. That is like MET a man who plants seeds. You will help people to accept my message. That will be like MET harvesting crops. When that happens, both you and I will rejoice.

³⁷ As a result, this saying will become true: One person plants seeds, but others harvest the crops.

³⁸ I am sending you to enable people to accept my message, but you will not be the first ones who tell them God's message. Others previously worked hard to tell people God's message, and now you will be harvesting the results of their work.”

³⁹ Many of the Samaria district people who lived in that town believed that Jesus was the Messiah because they heard what that woman said about Jesus, “That man was able to tell me all about my past life HYP!”

⁴⁰ So when those people of Samaria came to Jesus, they urged him to stay with them. So we stayed there two days.

⁴¹ Many more of those people believed ◄ in Jesus/that he was the Messiah► because of what he said.

²⁴ God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

²⁵ The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”

²⁶ Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”

²⁷ Just then, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”

²⁸ So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,

²⁹ “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?”

³⁰ They went out of the city, and were coming to him.

³¹ In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”

³² But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”

³³ The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something 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 Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest?’ Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.

³⁶ He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

³⁷ For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’

³⁸ I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”

³⁹ From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “He told me everything that I have done.”

⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.

⁴¹ Many more believed because of his word.

²⁴ God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

²⁵ The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”

²⁶ Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”

²⁷ Just then, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”

²⁸ So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,

²⁹ “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?”

³⁰ They went out of the city, and were coming to him.

³¹ In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”

³² But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”

³³ The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something 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 Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest?’ Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.

³⁶ He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

³⁷ For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’

³⁸ I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”

³⁹ From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “He told me everything that I have done.”

⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.

⁴¹ Many more believed because of his word.

²⁴ God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

²⁵ The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”

²⁶ Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”

²⁷ Just then, his disciples came. They marvelled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”

²⁸ So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,

²⁹ “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?”

³⁰ They went out of the city, and were coming to him.

³¹ In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”

³² But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”

³³ The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something 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 Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest?’ Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.

³⁶ He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

³⁷ For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’

³⁸ I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t laboured. Others have laboured, and you have entered into their labour.”

³⁹ From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “He told me everything that I have done.”

⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.

⁴¹ Many more believed because of his word.

²⁴ God is Spirit: then let his worshippers give him worship in the true way of the spirit.

²⁵ The woman said to him, I am certain that the Messiah, who is named Christ, is coming; when he comes he will make all things clear to us.

²⁶ Jesus said to her, I, who am talking to you, am he.

²⁷ At that point the disciples came back, and they were surprised to see him talking to a woman; but not one of them said to him, What is your purpose? or, Why are you talking to her?

²⁸ Then the woman put down her water-pot and went into the town, and said to the people,

²⁹ Come and see a man who has been talking to me of everything I ever did! Is it possible that this is the Christ?

³⁰ So they went out of the town and came to him.

³¹ While this was taking place, the disciples were saying to Jesus, Master, take some food.

³² But he said to them, I have food of which you have no knowledge.

³³ So the disciples said one to another, Did anyone give him food?

³⁴ Jesus said, My food is to do the pleasure of him who sent me and to make his work complete.

³⁵ You would say, Four months from now is the time of the grain-cutting. Take a look, I say to you, at the fields; they are even now white for cutting.

³⁶ He who does the cutting now has his reward; he is getting together fruit for eternal life, so that he who did the planting and he who gets in the grain may have joy together.

³⁷ In this the saying is a true one, One does the planting, and another gets in the grain.

³⁸ I sent you to get in grain which you had no hand in planting: other men did that work, and you take the reward.

³⁹ Now a number of the people of that town had faith in him because of the woman's witness: He has been talking to me of everything I ever did.

⁴⁰ So when the people came to him they made request to him to be among them for a time, and he was there two days.

⁴¹ And a great number more of them came to have faith in him because of what he himself said.

²⁴ God is a spirit; and they who worship him must worship him in spirit and truth.

²⁵ The woman says to him, I know that Messias is coming, who is called Christ; when he comes he will tell us all things.

²⁶ Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee am he.

²⁷ And upon this came his disciples, and wondered that he spoke with a woman; yet no one said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?

²⁸ The woman then left her waterpot and went away into the city, and says to the men,

²⁹ Come, see a man who told me all things I had ever done: is not he the Christ?

³⁰ They went out of the city and came to him.

³¹ But meanwhile the disciples asked him saying, Rabbi, eat.

³² But he said to them, I have food to eat which ye do not know.

³³ The disciples therefore said to one another, Has any one brought him anything to eat?

³⁴ Jesus says to them, My food is that I should do the will of him that has sent me, and that I should finish his work.

³⁵ Do not ye say, that there are yet four months and the harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes and behold the fields, for they are already white to harvest.

³⁶ He that reaps receives wages and gathers fruit unto life eternal, that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together.

³⁷ For in this is verified the true saying, It is one who sows and another who reaps.

³⁸ I have sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured; others have laboured, and ye have entered into their labours.

³⁹ But many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him because of the word of the woman who bore witness, He told me all things that I had ever done.

⁴⁰ When therefore the Samaritans came to him they asked him to abide with them, and he abode there two days.

⁴¹ And more a great deal believed on account of his word;

²⁴ God is a spirit; and they that adore him, must adore him in spirit and in truth.

²⁵ The woman saith to him: I know that the Messias cometh (who is called Christ). Therefore, when he is come, he will tell us all things.

²⁶ Jesus saith to her: I am he, who am speaking with thee.

²⁷ And immediately his disciples came; and they wondered that he talked with the woman. Yet no man said: What seekest thou? or, why talkest thou with her?

²⁸ The woman therefore left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men there:

²⁹ Come, and see a man who has told me all things whatsoever I have done. Is not he the Christ?

³⁰ They went therefore out of the city, and came unto him.

³¹ In the mean time the disciples prayed him, saying: Rabbi, eat.

³² But he said to them: I have meat to eat, which you know not.

³³ The disciples therefore said one to another: Hath any man brought him to eat?

³⁴ Jesus saith to them: My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, that I may perfect his work.

³⁵ Do you not say, There are yet four months, and then the harvest cometh? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see the countries; for they are white already to harvest.

³⁶ And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life everlasting: that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth, may rejoice together.

³⁷ For in this is the saying true: That it is one man that soweth, and it is another that reapeth.

³⁸ I have sent you to reap that in which you did not labour: others have laboured, and you have entered into their labours.

³⁹ Now of that city many of the Samaritans believed in him, for the word of the woman giving testimony: He told me all things whatsoever I have done.

⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans were come to him, they desired that he would tarry there. And he abode there two days.

⁴¹ And many more believed in him because of his own word.

²⁴ God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

²⁵ The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, He will proclaim to us all things.”

²⁶ Jesus said to her, “I am He, the One speaking to you.”

²⁷ And at this point His disciples came, and they marveled that He was speaking with a woman; however no one said, “What do You seek?” or, “Why are You speaking with her?”

²⁸ The woman then left her water jar, went her way into the city, and said to the men,

²⁹ “Come, see a Man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”

³⁰ They went out of the city and were coming to Him.

³¹ But in the meantime the disciples urged Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”

³² But He said to them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.”

³³ Therefore the disciples were saying to one another, “Has anyone brought Him something to eat?”

³⁴ Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.

³⁵ Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and the harvest comes’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and see the fields, for they are already white for harvest!

³⁶ And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit unto eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

³⁷ For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’

³⁸ I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”

³⁹ And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman testifying, “He told me everything I ever did.”

⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they were asking Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.

⁴¹ And many more believed because of His word.

²⁴ God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

²⁵ The woman says to Him: “I know that Messiah is coming (who is called Christ). When He comes He will explain everything to us.”

²⁶ Jesus says to her, “I am He, the one who is talking with you!”

²⁷ At that point His disciples arrived, and they were amazed that He was talking with a woman; yet no one said, “What do you want?” or “Why are You talking with her?”

²⁸ So the woman left her water jar, went her way into the town, and says to the men:

²⁹ “Come see a man who told me everything I ever did! Could this be the Messiah?”

³⁰ So out they went from the town and started toward Him.

³¹ Now in the meantime the disciples were urging Him saying, “Rabbi, eat.”

³² But He said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.”

³³ So the disciples started saying to one another, “Could someone have brought Him something to eat?”

³⁴ Jesus says to them: “My food is to do the will of Him who sent me and to complete His work.

³⁵ Do you not say, ‘There are four months before the harvest comes?’ Well I say, Look! Lift your eyes and observe the fields; they are white for harvest already!

³⁶ Now he who reaps receives pay and gathers fruit into eternal life, so that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

³⁷ Now the saying, ‘One is the sower and another the reaper,’ is true in this:

³⁸ I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored and you have entered into their labors.”

³⁹ Now many of the Samaritans from that city believed into Him because of the word of the woman, testifying that “He told me everything I ever did!”

⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans came to Him they urged Him to stay with them; and He did stay there two days.

⁴¹ Many more believed through His own word,

²⁴ God is Spirit, so worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.”

²⁵ The woman said, “Well, I know that the Messiah is coming,” (the one who is called Christ). “When he comes he will explain it all to us.”

²⁶ Jesus replied, “I AM—the one who is speaking to you.”

²⁷ Just then the disciples returned. They were shocked that he was talking to a woman, but none of them asked “What are you doing?” or “Why are you talking with her?”

²⁸ The woman left her water jar behind and ran back to the town, telling the people,

²⁹ “Come and meet a man who told me everything I ever did! Could this be the Messiah?”

³⁰ So they went out of the town to go and see him.

³¹ Meanwhile Jesus' disciples were urging him, “Rabbi, please eat something!”

³² But Jesus replied, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”

³³ “Did someone bring him food?” the disciples asked one another.

³⁴ Jesus told them, “My food is to do the will of the one who sent me, and to complete his work.

³⁵ Don't you have a saying, ‘four more months until harvest?’ Open your eyes and look around! The crops in the fields are ripe, ready for harvest.

³⁶ The reaper is being paid and harvesting a crop for eternal life so that both the sower and the reaper can celebrate.

³⁷ So the proverb ‘one sows, another reaps,’ is true.

³⁸ I sent you to reap what you didn't work for. Others did the hard work and you have reaped the benefits of what they did.”

³⁹ Many Samaritans from that town trusted in him because of what the woman said: “He told me everything I ever did.”

⁴⁰ So when they came to see him they pleaded with him to stay with them. He stayed for two days,

⁴¹ and because of what he told them many more trusted in him.

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

²⁵ The 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.

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

²⁷ And 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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

³⁵ Say 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.

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

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

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

³⁹ Nowe 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.

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

⁴¹ And many moe beleeued because of his owne word.

²⁴ God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

²⁵ The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

²⁶ Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

²⁷ And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?

²⁸ The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,

²⁹ Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

³⁰ Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

³¹ In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.

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

³³ Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?

³⁴ Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

³⁵ Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

³⁶ And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

³⁷ And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

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

³⁹ And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.

⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.

⁴¹ And many moe believed because of his own word;

²⁴ God is a spirit; and they who worship must worship in spirit and in truth.

²⁵ The woman saith to him, I know that Messiah cometh (who is called Christ); when he hath come, he will tell us all things.

²⁶ Jesus saith to her, I who speak to thee am he.

²⁷ And upon this his disciples came, and marveled that he was talking with a woman. Yet no one said, What dost thou seek? or, Why dost thou talk with her?

²⁸ The woman then left her water-pot, and went away into the city, and saith to the men,

²⁹ Come, see a man who told me all things which I have done. Is this the Christ?

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

³¹ In the mean while the disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, eat.

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

³³ The disciples therefore said to one another, Hath any one brought him anything to eat?

³⁴ Jesus saith to them, My food is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

³⁵ Do ye not say, There are yet four months, and the harvest cometh? Lo! I say to you, lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest.

³⁶ Already is the reaper receiving wages, and gathering fruit unto everlasting life; that both the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.

³⁷ And herein is fulfilled the true saying, One soweth, and another reapeth.

³⁸ I have sent you to reap that whereon ye have not labored. Others have labored, and ye have entered into their labor.

³⁹ And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in him because of the words of the woman, who testified, He told me all things which I have done.

⁴⁰ When therefore the Samaritans came to him, they besought him to remain with them; and he remained there two days.

⁴¹ And many more believed on account of his word;

²⁴ God is Spirit; and those who worship him must worship spiritually and truly.”

²⁵ “I know,” answered the woman, “that the Messiah, who is called the Christ, is coming; when once he has come, he will tell us everything.”

²⁶ “I am he,” Jesus said to her, “I who am speaking to you.”

²⁷ At this moment his disciples came up, and were surprised to find him talking with a woman; but none of them asked ‘What do you want?’ or ‘Why are you talking with her?’

²⁸ So the woman, leaving her pitcher, went back to the town, and said to the people,

²⁹ “Come and see someone who has told me everything that I have done. Can he be the Christ?”

³⁰ And the people left the town and went to see Jesus.

³¹ Meanwhile the disciples kept saying to him, “Take something to eat, Rabbi.”

³² “I have food to eat,” he answered, “of which you know nothing.”

³³ “Can anyone have brought him anything to eat?” the disciples said to one another.

³⁴ “My food,” replied Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me, and to complete his work.

³⁵ Don't you say that it still wants four months to harvest? Why, look up, and see how white the fields are for harvest!

³⁶ Already the reaper is receiving wages and gathering in sheaves for eternal life, so that sower and reaper rejoice together.

³⁷ For here the proverb holds good — ‘One sows, another reaps.’

³⁸ I have sent you to reap that on which you have spent no labour; others have laboured, and you have reaped the results of their labour.”

³⁹ Many from that town came to believe in Jesus — Samaritans though they were — because the woman had said, ‘He has told me everything that I have done.’

⁴⁰ And, when these Samaritans had come to Jesus, they begged him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.

⁴¹ But far more came to believe in him because of what he said himself,

²⁴ God is Spirit; and those who worship him must worship spiritually and truly.”

²⁵ “I know,” answered the woman, “that the Messiah, who is called the Christ, is coming; when once he has come, he will tell us everything.”

²⁶ “I am he,” Jesus said to her, “I who am speaking to you.”

²⁷ At this moment his disciples came up, and were surprised to find him talking with a woman; but none of them asked ‘What do you want?’ or ‘Why are you talking with her?’

²⁸ So the woman, leaving her pitcher, went back to the town, and said to the people,

³⁰ And the people left the town and went to see Jesus.

³¹ Meanwhile the disciples kept saying to him, “Take something to eat, Rabbi.”

³² “I have food to eat,” he answered, “of which you know nothing.”

³³ “Can anyone have brought him anything to eat?” the disciples said to one another.

⁴⁰ And, when these Samaritans had come to Jesus, they begged him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.

⁴¹ But far more came to believe in him because of what he said himself,

²⁴ God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

²⁵ The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah Anointed one comes, he who is called Messiah Anointed one. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”

²⁶ Yeshua Salvation said to her, “Ena Na I AM (the Living God), I who is speaking to you.”

²⁷ At this, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”

²⁸ So the woman left her water pot, and went away into the city, and said to the people,

²⁹ “Come, see a man who told me everything that I did. Can this be the Messiah Anointed one?”

³⁰ They went out of the city, and were coming to him.

³¹ In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi ·Teacher·, eat.”

³² But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”

³³ The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”

³⁴ Yeshua Salvation said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.

³⁵ Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest?’ Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.

³⁶ He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to eternal life; that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

³⁷ For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’

³⁸ I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”

³⁹ From that city many of the Samaritans people from Watch-mountain believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “He told me everything that I did.”

⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans people from Watch-mountain came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.

⁴¹ Many more believed because of his word.

²⁴ God is a sprete and they that worshippe him must worshippe him in sprete and trouthe.

²⁵ The woman sayde vnto him: I wot well Messias shall come which is called Christ. When he is come he will tell vs all thinges.

²⁶ Iesus sayde vnto hir: I that speake vnto the am he.

²⁷ And even at that poynte came his disciples and marvelled that he talked with the woman. Yet no man sayde vnto him: what meanest thou or why talkest thou with her?

²⁸ The woman then lefte her waterpot and went her waye into the cite and sayde to the men.

²⁹ Come se a man which tolde me all thinges that ever I dyd. Is not he Christ?

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

³¹ And in ye meane while his disciples prayed him sayinge: Master eate.

³² He sayde vnto the: I have meate to eate that ye knowe not of.

³³ Then sayd the disciples bitwene them selves: hath eny man brought him meate?

³⁴ Iesus sayde vnto them: my meate is to doo the will of him that sent me. And to fynnysshe his worke.

³⁵ Saye not ye: there are yet foure monethes and then cometh harvest? Beholde I saye vnto you lyfte vp youre eyes and loke on the regions: for they are whyte all redy vnto harvest.

³⁶ And he that repeth receaveth rewarde and gaddereth frute vnto life eternall: that bothe he that soweth and he that repeth myght reioyse to gether.

³⁷ And herin is the sayinge true that one soweth and another repeth.

³⁸ I sent you to repe that wheron ye bestowed no laboure. Other men laboured and ye are entred into their labours.

³⁹ Many of the Samaritas of that cyte beleved on him for the sayinge of the woman which testified: he tolde me all thinges that ever I dyd.

⁴⁰ Then when the Samaritas were come vnto him they besought him that he wolde tary with the. And he aboode there two dayes.

⁴¹ And many moo beleved because of his awne wordes

²⁴ God is Spirit, and the people who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

²⁵ The woman said to him, “I know that the Messiah is coming (the one called Christ). When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”

²⁶ Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one speaking to you.”

²⁷ At that moment his disciples returned. Now they were wondering why he was speaking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you want?” or “Why are you speaking with her?”

²⁸ So the woman left her water pot, went back to the town, and said to the people,

²⁹ “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have ever done. This could not be the Christ, could it?”

³⁰ They left the town and came to him.

³¹ In the meantime, the disciples were urging him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”

³² But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.”

³³ So the disciples said to each other, “No one has brought him anything to eat, have they?”

³⁴ Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to complete his work.

³⁵ Do you not say, 'There are four more months and then the harvest comes'? I am saying to you, look up and see the fields, for they are already ripe for harvest!

³⁶ He who is harvesting receives wages and gathers fruit for everlasting life, so that he who sows and he who harvests may rejoice together.

³⁷ For in this the saying, 'One sows, and another harvests,' is true.

³⁸ I sent you to harvest what you have not worked for. Others have worked, and you have entered into their labor.”

³⁹ Many of the Samaritans in that city believed in him because of the report of the woman who was testifying, “He told me everything that I have done.”

⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.

⁴¹ Many more believed because of his word.

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

²⁷ And 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?

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

²⁹ Come ye, and see a man, that said to me all things that I have done; whether he be Christ?

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

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

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

³³ Therefore the disciples said together, Whether any man hath brought him meat to eat?

³⁴ Jesus saith to them, My meat is that I do the will of him that sent me, and that I perform the work of him.

³⁵ Whether 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.

³⁶ And he that reapeth taketh hire, and gathereth fruit into everlasting life; that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth, have joy together.

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

³⁸ I sent you to reap, that that ye have not travailed; other men have travailed, and ye have entered into their travails.

³⁹ And 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.

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

⁴¹ And many more believed for his word,

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

²⁵ The 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.

²⁷ And 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?)

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

²⁹ Come 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?)

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

³² But 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.)

³³ Therefore 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?)

³⁴ Jesus 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.)

³⁵ Whether 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.

³⁶ And 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.

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

³⁸ I 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.

³⁹ And 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.

⁴⁰ Therefore 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.

³⁶ And he that repith takith hire, and gaderith fruyt in to euerlastynge lijf; that bothe he that sowith, and he that repith, haue ioye togidere.

³⁷ In this thing is the word trewe, for anothir is that sowith, and anothir that repith.

³⁸ Y sente you to repe, that that ye `haue not trauelid; `othere men han trauelid, and ye han entrid `in to her trauels.

³⁹ And of that citee many Samaritans bileueden in hym, for the word of the womman, that bare witnessyng, That he seide to me alle thingis that Y haue don.

⁴¹ And many mo bileueden for his word,

²⁴ God is a Spirit, and those worshipping Him, in spirit and truth it doth behove to worship.'

²⁵ The woman saith to him, 'I have known that Messiah doth come, who is called Christ, when that one may come, he will tell us all things;'

²⁶ Jesus saith to her, 'I am he, who am speaking to thee.'

²⁷ And upon this came his disciples, and were wondering that with a woman he was speaking, no one, however, said, 'What seekest thou?' or 'Why speakest thou with her?'

²⁸ The woman then left her water-jug, and went away to the city, and saith to the men,

²⁹ 'Come, see a man, who told me all things — as many as I did; is this the Christ?'

³⁰ They went forth therefore out of the city, and were coming unto him.

³¹ And in the meanwhile his disciples were asking him, saying, 'Rabbi, eat;'

³² and he said to them, 'I have food to eat that ye have not known.'

³³ The disciples then said one to another, 'Did any one bring him anything to eat?'

³⁴ Jesus saith to them, 'My food is, that I may do the will of Him who sent me, and may finish His work;

³⁵ do not say that it is yet four months, and the harvest cometh; lo, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and see the fields, that they are white unto harvest already.

³⁶ 'And he who is reaping doth receive a reward, and doth gather fruit to life age-during, that both he who is sowing and he who is reaping may rejoice together;

³⁷ for in this the saying is the true one, that one is the sower and another the reaper.

³⁸ I sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured; others laboured, and ye into their labour have entered.

³⁹ And from that city many believed in him, of the Samaritans, because of the word of the woman testifying, — 'He told me all things — as many as I did.'

⁴⁰ When, then, the Samaritans came unto him, they were asking him to remain with them, and he remained there two days;

⁴¹ and many more did believe because of his word,
