John 4:26-54

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

²⁷And 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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

³⁴Jesus 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.

³⁵Do 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.

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

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

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

³⁹But 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.

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

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

⁴²and they said to the woman, It is no longer on account of thy saying that we believe, for we have heard him ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.

⁴³But after the two days he went forth thence and went away into Galilee,

⁴⁴for Jesus himself bore witness that a prophet has no honour in his own country.

⁴⁵When therefore he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem during the feast, for they also went to the feast.

⁴⁶He came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain courtier in Capernaum whose son was sick.

⁴⁷He, having heard that Jesus had come out of Judaea into Galilee, went to him and asked him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.

⁴⁸Jesus therefore said to him, Unless ye see signs and wonders ye will not believe.

⁴⁹The courtier says to him, Sir, come down ere my child die.

⁵⁰Jesus says to him, Go, thy son lives. And the man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way.

⁵¹But already, as he was going down, his servants met him and brought him word saying, Thy child lives.

⁵²He inquired therefore from them the hour at which he got better. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.

⁵³The father therefore knew that it was in that hour in which Jesus said to him, Thy son lives; and he believed, himself and his whole house.

⁵⁴This second sign again did Jesus, being come out of Judaea into Galilee.
