John 4:3-45 in English

³ he left Judæa, and departed again into Galilee.

⁴ And he must needs pass through Samaria.

⁵ So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:

⁶ and Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

⁸ For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.

⁹ The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

¹¹ The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou that living water?

¹² Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?

¹³ Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

¹⁴ but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life.

¹⁵ The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw.

¹⁶ Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

¹⁷ The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:

¹⁸ for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.

¹⁹ The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

²¹ Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.

²² Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

²³ But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers.

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;

⁴² and they said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy speaking: for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.

⁴³ And after the two days he went forth from thence into Galilee.

⁴⁴ For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honor in his own country.

⁴⁵ So when he came into Galilee, the Galilæans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.

³ He left Judea, and went back towards Galilee.

⁴ He had to go through Samaria.

⁵ He came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph,

⁶ and Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ A Samaritan woman came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Please give me a drink.”

⁸ His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.

⁹ The Samaritan woman therefore asked Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink, since I’m a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have nothing to do with Samaritans.)

¹⁰ Jesus answered her, “If you knew God’s gift, and who it is who says to you, ‘Please give me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

¹¹ The woman said, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where could you get this living water from?

¹² Are You greater than our forefather Jacob, who gave us this well and who used to drink from it himself, as did also his sons and his flocks and herds?”

¹³ Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will get thirsty again,

¹⁴ but whoever drinks the water that I will give will never, ever get thirsty. The water that I will give will become in that person a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”

¹⁵ The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming all the way here to draw water.”

¹⁶ Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”

¹⁷ The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus told her, “You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband,’

¹⁸ for you have had five husbands, and the one you have now isn’t your husband. What you have said is quite true.”

¹⁹ The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.

²⁰ Our ancestors worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”

²¹ Jesus told her, “Woman, believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem.

²² You Samaritans worship what you don’t know. We worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.

²³ A time is coming, and has now come, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers that the Father seeks.

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.

⁴² They told the woman, “It’s no longer just because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is truly the Savior of the world, the Christ.”

⁴³ After the two days, He departed from there and went to Galilee,

⁴⁴ for Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

⁴⁵ When He arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed Him. They had seen all that He had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, for they had been there, too.

³ He left Judæa, and departed again into Galilee.

⁴ And he must needs go through Samaria.

⁵ Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

⁷ There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

⁸ (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

⁹ Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

¹¹ The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

¹² Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

¹³ Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

¹⁴ But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

¹⁵ The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

¹⁶ Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

¹⁷ The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

¹⁸ For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

¹⁹ The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

²¹ Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

²² Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

²³ But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

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;

⁴² And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

⁴³ Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.

⁴⁴ For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

⁴⁵ Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilæans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.

³ he left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.

⁴ And he must needs pass through Samaria.

⁵ So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:

⁶ and Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

⁸ For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.

⁹ The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a Samaritan woman? (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

¹¹ The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

¹² Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?

¹⁵ The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw.

¹⁶ Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

¹⁷ The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:

¹⁸ for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.

¹⁹ The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

²¹ Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.

²² Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know: for salvation is from the Jews.

²³ But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers.

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;

⁴² and they said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy speaking: for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.

⁴³ And after the two days he went forth from thence into Galilee.

⁴⁴ For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

⁴⁵ So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.

³ When the Lord Jesus heard about that, so that the Pharisees would not cause trouble for him, he left Judea district, and went again with us disciples to Galilee district.

⁴ He knew that God wanted him to travel through Samaria district.

⁵ So we arrived at a town named Sychar in Samaria district. That was near the plot of ground that our ancestor Jacob had given to his son Joseph long ago.

⁶ The well that used to belong to Jacob was on that plot of ground. Jesus was tired from walking. So while we disciples went into the town to buy some food, he sat down alongside the well. It was about noontime. A woman who lived there in Samaria came to get some water from the well. Jesus said to her, “Will you give me from the well some water to drink?” The woman knew that Jews did not like ◄ to touch things that belong to Samaritans/ to come near Samaritans►, (OR, Jews did not like to associate with Samaritans,)

⁹ so the woman said to him, “You are a Jew, and I am from Samaria. Furthermore, I am a woman. So ◄ I am surprised that you are asking me for a drink of water!/how is it that you are asking me for a drink of water?► RHQ”

¹⁰ Jesus replied to her, “If you (sg) knew what God wanted to give you, and if you knew who I am, the one who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked me, and I would have given you water that gives life.”

¹¹ She thought he was talking about ordinary water. So she said to him, “Sir, you do not have a bucket or a rope with which to get water from the well, and the well is deep. So since you cannot get water from this well, where can you get that life-giving water?

¹² Our ancestor Jacob left us this well. He drank water from it, and there was enough good water so that his sons and his flocks of sheep and goats drank from it also. Do you claim that you are greater than Jacob, and because of that you can give us life-giving water?”

¹³ Jesus replied to her, “Everyone who drinks water from this well will later become thirsty again.

¹⁴ But those who drink the water that I will give them will never be thirsty again. On the contrary, the water that I give them will become in their inner beings like a spring of water that will enable them to have eternal life.”

¹⁵ The woman did not understand that Jesus was speaking figuratively about something that would sustain her spiritually. So she said to him, “Sir, give me that kind of water so that I will not get thirsty again, and so that I will not have to keep returning here to get water!”

¹⁶ Jesus knew that she did not understand, but he wanted to show her by his God-given knowledge of her personal life that because he was the Messiah he could supply her spiritual need. So he said to her, “Woman, go and call your husband, and bring him here!”

¹⁷ She replied, “I do not have a husband!” Jesus said to her, “You said that you do not have a husband, and that is true.

¹⁸ It is also true that you have had five husbands one by one. And the man you are living with now is not your husband! What you have said is very true.”

¹⁹ The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive you must be a prophet because you are able to know people's secrets.

²⁰ But let me ask you a different question: Our ancestors worshipped God here on Gerizim mountain, but you Jews say that Jerusalem is the place where we must worship God. So who is right?”

²¹ Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me when I say that there will be a time when it will not matter whether you worship God our Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem or somewhere else.

²² You people from Samaria do not know the one you are worshipping. But we (exc) Jews know whom we worship, because it is from us Jews that God has sent the one who will save people from the guilt of their sins.

²³ However, there will be a time when those who genuinely worship God will worship him as God's Spirit directs and according to God's truth. In fact, that time is now. Those are the kind of worshipers my Father seeks.

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.

⁴² They told the woman, “We believe in Jesus now , but not just because of what you told us. Now we have heard him ourselves. And now we know that this man truly is the one who can save people MTY from the guilt of their sins .”

⁴³ Jesus had said previously that people did not honor prophets like himself when they tried to teach people in their own home area. So, two days later, Jesus and we disciples left that area and went to his own area in Galilee district, because he knew that people there would not think very highly of him, and as a result the Jewish leaders would not be jealous.

⁴⁵ However, when we arrived in Galilee district, many of the people there welcomed him, because they had been in Jerusalem during the Passover celebration and had seen all the things he did there.

³ he left Judea and departed into Galilee.

⁴ He needed to pass through Samaria.

⁵ So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”

⁸ For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

⁹ The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

¹⁰ Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”

¹¹ The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?

¹² Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?”

¹³ Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,

¹⁴ but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

¹⁵ The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”

¹⁶ Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”

¹⁷ The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’

¹⁸ for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”

¹⁹ The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”

²¹ Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

²² You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

²³ But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.

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.

⁴² They said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”

⁴³ After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.

⁴⁴ For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

⁴⁵ So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.

³ he left Judea and departed into Galilee.

⁴ He needed to pass through Samaria.

⁵ So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”

⁸ For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

⁹ The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

¹⁰ Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”

¹¹ The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?

¹² Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?”

¹³ Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,

¹⁴ but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

¹⁵ The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”

¹⁶ Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”

¹⁷ The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’

¹⁸ for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”

¹⁹ The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”

²¹ Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

²² You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

²³ But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.

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.

⁴² They said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”

⁴³ After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.

⁴⁴ For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

⁴⁵ So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.

³ he left Judea and departed into Galilee.

⁴ He needed to pass through Samaria.

⁵ So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”

⁸ For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

⁹ The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

¹⁰ Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”

¹¹ The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?

¹² Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?”

¹³ Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,

¹⁴ but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

¹⁵ The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”

¹⁶ Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”

¹⁷ The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’

¹⁸ for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”

¹⁹ The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”

²¹ Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

²² You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

²³ But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshippers.

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.

⁴² They said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.”

⁴³ After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.

⁴⁴ For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honour in his own country.

⁴⁵ So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.

³ He went out of Judaea into Galilee again.

⁴ And it was necessary for him to go through Samaria.

⁵ So he came to a town of Samaria which was named Sychar, near to the bit of land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph:

⁶ Now Jacob's fountain was there. Jesus, being tired after his journey, was resting by the fountain. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ A woman of Samaria came to get water, and Jesus said to her, Give me some water.

⁸ For his disciples had gone to the town to get food.

⁹ The woman of Samaria said to him, Why do you, a Jew, make a request for water to me, a woman of Samaria? She said this because Jews have nothing to do with the people of Samaria.

¹⁰ In answer Jesus said, If you had knowledge of what God gives freely and who it is who says to you, Give me water, you would make your prayer to him, and he would give you living water.

¹¹ The woman said to him, Sir, you have no vessel and the fountain is deep; from where will you get the living water?

¹² Are you greater than our father Jacob who gave us the fountain and took the water of it himself, with his children and his cattle?

¹³ Jesus said to her, Everyone who takes this water will be in need of it again:

¹⁴ But whoever takes the water I give him will never be in need of drink again; for the water I give him will become in him a fountain of eternal life.

¹⁵ The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be in need again of drink and will not have to come all this way for it.

¹⁶ Jesus said to her, Go, get your husband and come back here with him.

¹⁷ In answer, the woman said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have said rightly, I have no husband:

¹⁸ You have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband: that was truly said.

¹⁹ The woman said to him, Sir, I see that you are a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers gave worship on this mountain, but you Jews say that the right place for worship is in Jerusalem.

²¹ Jesus said to her, Woman, take my word for this; the time is coming when you will not give worship to the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.

²² You give worship, but without knowledge of what you are worshipping: we give worship to what we have knowledge of: for salvation comes from the Jews.

²³ But the time is coming, and is even now here, when the true worshippers will give worship to the Father in the true way of the spirit, for these are the worshippers desired by the Father.

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.

⁴² And they said to the woman, Now we have faith, but not because of your story: we ourselves have given ear to his words, and we are certain that he is truly the Saviour of the world.

⁴³ And after the two days he went on from there into Galilee.

⁴⁴ For Jesus himself said that a prophet has no honour in the country of his birth.

⁴⁵ So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans took him to their hearts because of the things which they had seen him do in Jerusalem at the feast — they themselves having been there at the feast.

³ he left Judaea and went away again unto Galilee.

⁴ And he must needs pass through Samaria.

⁵ He comes therefore to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near to the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ Now a fountain of Jacob's was there; Jesus therefore, being wearied with the way he had come, sat just as he was at the fountain. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ A woman comes out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus says to her, Give me to drink

⁸ (for his disciples had gone away into the city that they might buy provisions).

⁹ The Samaritan woman therefore says to him, How dost thou, being a Jew, ask to drink of me who am a Samaritan woman? for Jews have no intercourse with Samaritans.

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that says to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

¹¹ The woman says to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou the living water?

¹² Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?

¹³ Jesus answered and said to her, Every one who drinks of this water shall thirst again;

¹⁴ but whosoever drinks of the water which I shall give him shall never thirst for ever, but the water which I shall give him shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into eternal life.

¹⁵ The woman says to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst nor come here to draw.

¹⁶ Jesus says to her, Go, call thy husband, and come here.

¹⁷ The woman answered and said, I have not a husband. Jesus says to her, Thou hast well said, I have not a husband;

¹⁸ for thou hast had five husbands, and he whom now thou hast is not thy husband: this thou hast spoken truly.

¹⁹ The woman says to him, Sir, I see that thou art a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship.

²¹ Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when ye shall neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem worship the Father.

²² Ye worship ye know not what; we worship what we know, for salvation is of the Jews.

²³ But the hour is coming and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeks such as his worshippers.

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;

⁴² and 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.

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

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

⁴⁵ When 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.

³ He left Judea, and went again into Galilee.

⁴ And he was of necessity to pass through Samaria.

⁵ He cometh therefore to a city of Samaria, which is called Sichar, near the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ There cometh a woman of Samaria, to draw water. Jesus saith to her: Give me to drink.

⁸ For his disciples were gone into the city to buy meats.

⁹ Then that Samaritan woman saith to him: How dost thou, being a Jew, ask of me to drink, who am a Samaritan woman? For the Jews do not communicate with the Samaritans.

¹⁰ Jesus answered, and said to her: If thou didst know the gift of God, and who he is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou perhaps wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

¹¹ The woman saith to him: Sir, thou hast nothing wherein to draw, and the well is deep; from whence then hast thou living water?

¹² Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

¹³ Jesus answered, and said to her: Whosoever drinketh of this water, shall thirst again; but he that shall drink of the water that I will give him, shall not thirst for ever:

¹⁴ But the water that I will give him, shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into life everlasting.

¹⁵ The woman saith to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.

¹⁶ Jesus saith to her: Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

¹⁷ The woman answered, and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: Thou hast said well, I have no husband:

¹⁸ For thou hast had five husbands: and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband. This thou hast said truly.

¹⁹ The woman saith to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers adored on this mountain, and you say, that at Jerusalem is the place where men must adore.

²¹ Jesus saith to her: Woman, believe me, that the hour cometh, when you shall neither on this mountain, not in Jerusalem, adore the Father.

²² You adore that which you know not: we adore that which we know; for salvation is of the Jews.

²³ But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true adorers shall adore the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeketh such to adore him.

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.

⁴² And they said to the woman: We now believe, not for thy saying: for we ourselves have heard him, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.

⁴³ Now after two days, he departed thence, and went into Galilee.

⁴⁴ For Jesus himself gave testimony that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

⁴⁵ And when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things he had done at Jerusalem on the festival day; for they also went to the festival day.

³ He left Judea and went away into Galilee.

⁴ But He needed to pass through Samaria.

⁵ Therefore He came to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near the piece of land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ Now Jacob's well was there. Therefore Jesus, having become tired from the journey, was sitting beside the well. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”

⁸ (For His disciples had gone away into the city, that they might buy provisions).

⁹ Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her, “If you had known the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given to you living water.”

¹¹ The woman said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water?

¹² Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?”

¹³ Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again,

¹⁴ but whoever drinks of the water which I shall give him will by no means ever thirst again. But the water which I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into eternal life.”

¹⁵ The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”

¹⁶ Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”

¹⁷ The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You have said well, ‘I have no husband,’

¹⁸ for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in this you have said truly.”

¹⁹ The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary to worship.”

²¹ Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.

²² You worship what you do not know; we Jews worship what we know, because salvation is of the Jews.

²³ But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

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.

⁴² Then they were saying to the woman, “No longer because of your speech do we believe, for we ourselves have heard and know that this is truly the Christ, the Savior of the world.”

⁴³ Now after the two days He went out from there and went to Galilee.

⁴⁴ For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

⁴⁵ Therefore when He came into Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all the things which He did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they also went to the feast.

³ He left Judea and went away into Galilee.

⁴ Now He needed to go through Samaria;

⁵ so He comes to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ Now Jacob's well was there; so Jesus, being worn out from the journey, sat as He was by the well. It was about 6 p.m.

⁷ A woman of Samaria comes to draw water. Jesus says to her, “Give me a drink.”

⁸ (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)

⁹ So the Samaritan woman says to Him, “How can you, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?” (for Jews do not associate with Samaritans).

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her: “If you knew the gift of God, and who is the one saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”

¹¹ The woman says to Him: “Sir, you don't even have a bucket, and the well is deep; so where do you get this living water?

¹² You aren't greater than our father Jacob, are you? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.”

¹³ Jesus answered and said to her: “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,

¹⁴ but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never ever thirst; rather, the water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water, welling up into eternal life.”

¹⁵ The woman says to Him, “Sir, give me this water! so that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”

¹⁶ Jesus says to her, “Go, call your husband and come back here.”

¹⁷ The woman answered and said, “I don't have a husband.” Jesus says to her: “You stated correctly that you do not have a husband,

¹⁸ because you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is no husband of yours. You spoke the truth there!”

¹⁹ The woman says to Him: “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, while you (pl) say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”

²¹ Jesus says to her: “Woman, believe me, a time is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

²² You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we Jews worship what we do know, because the salvation is from the Jews.

²³ But the time is coming, in fact now is, when the genuine worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. Really, because the Father is looking for such people to worship Him.

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,

⁴² and they kept saying to the woman, “It is not just because of what you said that we believe, because we ourselves have heard Him, and we know that this One is truly the Messiah, the Savior of the world!”

⁴³ So after the two days He departed from there and went on into Galilee.

⁴⁴ (For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet does not have honor in his own country.)

⁴⁵ So when He came into Galilee the Galileans welcomed Him, having seen all the things that He did in Jerusalem, at the festival; for they too had gone to the festival.

³ he left Judea and returned to Galilee.

⁴ On the way he had to pass through Samaria.

⁵ So he came to the Samaritan city of Sychar, near to the field that Jacob had given his son Joseph.

⁶ Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, who was tired from the journey, sat straight down beside the well. It was around noon.

⁷ A Samaritan woman came to fetch water. Jesus said to her, “Please could you give me a drink?”

⁸ for his disciples had gone to the town to buy food.

⁹ “You're a Jew, and I'm a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” the woman replied, for Jews don't associate with Samaritans.

¹⁰ Jesus answered her, “If you only recognized God's gift, and who is asking you, ‘Please could you give me a drink?’ you would have asked him and he would have given you the water of life.”

¹¹ “Sir, you don't have a bucket, and the well is deep. Where are you going to get the water of life from?” she replied.

¹² “Our father Jacob gave us the well. He drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock. Are you greater than he?”

¹³ Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks water from this well will become thirsty again.

¹⁴ But those who drink the water I give won't ever be thirsty again. The water I give becomes a bubbling spring of water inside them, bringing them eternal life.”

¹⁵ “Sir,” replied the woman, “Please give me this water so I won't be thirsty, and I won't have to come here to fetch water!”

¹⁶ “Go and call your husband, and come back here,” Jesus told her.

¹⁷ “I don't have a husband,” the woman answered. “You're right in saying you don't have a husband,” Jesus told her.

¹⁸ “You've had five husbands, and the one you're living with now is not your husband. So what you say is true!”

¹⁹ “I can see you're a prophet, sir,” the woman replied.

²⁰ “Tell me this: our ancestors worshiped here on this mountain, but you say that Jerusalem is where we must worship.”

²¹ Jesus replied, “Believe me the time is coming when you won't worship the Father either on this mountain or in Jerusalem.

²² You really don't know the God you're worshiping, while we worship the God we know, for salvation comes from the Jews.

²³ But the time is coming—and in fact it's here already—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for these are the kind of worshipers the Father wants.

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.

⁴² They said to the woman, “Now our trust in him isn't just because of what you told us but because we have heard him for ourselves. We're convinced that he really is the Savior of the world.”

⁴³ After the two days he continued on to Galilee.

⁴⁴ Jesus himself had made the comment that a prophet is not respected in his own country.

⁴⁵ But when he arrived in Galilee, the people welcomed him, because they had also been at the Passover feast and had seen everything he'd done in Jerusalem.

³ Hee left Iudea, and departed againe into Galile.

⁴ And he must needes goe through Samaria.

⁵ Then came hee to a citie of Samaria called Sychar, neere vnto the possession that Iacob gaue to his sonne Ioseph.

⁶ And there was Iacobs well. Iesus then wearied in the iourney, sate thus on the well: it was about the sixt houre.

⁷ There came a woman of Samaria to drawe water. Iesus sayd vnto her, Giue me drinke.

⁸ For his disciples were gone away into the citie, to buy meate.

⁹ Then sayde the woman of Samaria vnto him, Howe is it, that thou being a Iewe, askest drinke of me, which am a woman of Samaria? For the Iewes meddle not with the Samaritans.

¹⁰ Iesus answered and saide vnto her, If thou knewest that gift of God, and who it is that saieth to thee, Giue mee drinke, thou wouldest haue asked of him, and hee woulde haue giuen thee, water of life.

¹¹ The woman saide vnto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to drawe with, and the well is deepe: from whence then hast thou that water of life?

¹² Art thou greater then our father Iacob, which gaue vs the well, and hee himselfe dranke thereof, and his sonnes, and his cattell?

¹³ Iesus answered, and said vnto her, Whosoeuer drinketh of this water, shall thirst againe:

¹⁴ But whosoeuer drinketh of the water that I shall giue him, shall neuer be more a thirst: but the water that I shall giue him, shalbe in him a well of water, springing vp into euerlasting life.

¹⁵ The woman said vnto him, Syr, giue me of that water, that I may not thirst, neither come hither to drawe.

¹⁶ Iesus said vnto her, Go, call thine husband, and come hither.

¹⁷ The woman answered, and saide, I haue no husband. Iesus said vnto her, Thou hast well said, I haue no husband.

¹⁸ For thou hast had fiue husbands, and he whom thou nowe hast, is not thine husband: that saidest thou truely.

¹⁹ The woman saide vnto him, Sir, I see that thou art a Prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshipped in this mountaine, and ye say, that in Ierusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

²¹ Iesus saide vnto her, Woman, beleeue me, the houre commeth, when ye shall neither in this mountaine, nor at Hierusalem worship ye Father.

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

²³ But 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.

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.

⁴² And 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.

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

⁴⁴ For Iesus himselfe had testified, that a Prophet hath none honour in his owne countrey.

⁴⁵ Then when he was come into Galile, the Galileans receiued him, which had seene all the things that he did at Hierusalem at the feast: for they went also vnto the feast.

³ he left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.

⁴ And he must needs go through Samaria.

⁵ Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

⁷ There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

⁸ (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

⁹ Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? For the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

¹¹ The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

¹² Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

¹³ Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

¹⁴ but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

¹⁵ The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

¹⁶ Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

¹⁷ The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

¹⁸ for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

¹⁹ The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

²¹ Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

²² Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

²³ But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

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;

⁴² and said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

⁴³ Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.

⁴⁴ For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

⁴⁵ Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.

³ he left Judaea, and went again to Galilee.

⁴ And he must necessarily pass through Samaria.

⁵ He cometh therefore to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the piece of land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ And Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with the journey, was sitting thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith to her, Give me to drink.

⁸ For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

⁹ The Samaritan woman saith to him, How is it that thou, who art a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her, If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

¹¹ The woman saith to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Whence hast thou the living water?

¹² Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?

¹³ Jesus answered and said to her, Every one that drinketh of this water, will thirst again;

¹⁴ but whoever drinketh of the water that I will give him, will never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become within him a well of water springing up to everlasting life.

¹⁵ The woman saith to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.

¹⁶ He saith to her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

¹⁷ The woman answered, I have no husband. Jesus saith to her, Thou saidst well, that thou hast no husband.

¹⁸ For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband; in this thou hast spoken truly.

¹⁹ The woman saith to him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshipped on this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

²¹ Jesus saith to her, Believe me, woman, the hour is coming, when ye shall neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.

²² Ye worship that which ye know not; we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

²³ But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for such worshippers the Father seeketh.

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;

⁴² and said to the woman, No longer do we believe on account of what thou hast told us; for we have ourselves heard him, and know that this is in truth the Saviour of the world.

⁴³ And after the two days he went from that place into Galilee.

⁴⁴ For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honor in his own country.

⁴⁵ When therefore he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all that he did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they also went to the feast.

³ he left Judea, and set out again for Galilee.

⁴ He had to pass through Samaria,

⁵ and, on his way, he came to a Samaritan town called Shechem, near the plot of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ Jacob's Spring was there, and Jesus, being tired after his journey, sat down beside the spring, just as he was. It was then about midday.

⁷ A woman of Samaria came to draw water; and Jesus said to her — “Give me some to drink,”

⁸ For his disciples had gone into the town to buy food.

⁹ “How is it,” replied the Samaritan woman, “that you who are a Jew ask for water from a Samaritan woman like me?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans).

¹⁰ “If you knew of the gift of God,” replied Jesus, “and who it is that is saying to you ‘Give me some water,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”

¹¹ “You have no bucket, Sir, and the well is deep,” she said; “where did you get that ‘living water?’

¹² Surely you are not greater than our ancestor Jacob who gave us the well, and used to drink from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle!”

¹³ “All who drink of this water,” replied Jesus, “will be thirsty again;

¹⁴ but whoever once drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst any more; but the water that I will give him will become a spring welling up within him — a source of eternal life.”

¹⁵ “Give me this water, Sir,” said the woman, “so that I may not be thirsty, nor have to come all the way here to draw water.”

¹⁶ “Go and call your husband,” said Jesus, “and then come back.”

¹⁷ “I have no husband,” answered the woman. “You are right in saying ‘I have no husband,’” replied Jesus,

¹⁸ “For you have had five husbands, and the man with whom you are now living is not your husband; in saying that, you have spoken the truth.”

¹⁹ “I see, Sir, that you are a prophet!” exclaimed the woman.

²⁰ “It was on this mountain that our ancestors worshipped; and yet you Jews say that the proper place for worship is in Jerusalem.”

²¹ “Believe me,” replied Jesus, “a time is coming when it will be neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem that you will worship the Father.

²² You Samaritans do not know what you worship; we know what we worship, for salvation comes from the Jews.

²³ But a time is coming, indeed it is already here, when the true worshippers will worship the Father spiritually and truly; for such are the worshippers that the Father desires.

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,

⁴² and they said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you say that we believe in him, for we have heard him ourselves and know that he really is the Saviour of the world.”

⁴³ After these two days Jesus went on to Galilee;

⁴⁴ for he himself declared that ‘a prophet is not honoured in his own country.’

⁴⁵ When he entered Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, for they had seen all that he did at Jerusalem during the Festival, at which they also had been present.

³ he left Judea, and set out again for Galilee.

⁴ He had to pass through Samaria,

⁵ and, on his way, he came to a Samaritan town called Shechem, near the plot of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ Jacob's Spring was there, and Jesus, being tired after his journey, sat down beside the spring, just as he was. It was then about midday.

¹⁵ “Give me this water, Sir,” said the woman, “so that I may not be thirsty, nor have to come all the way here to draw water.”

¹⁶ “Go and call your husband,” said Jesus, “and then come back.”

¹⁷ “I have no husband,” answered the woman. “You are right in saying ‘I have no husband,’” replied Jesus,

¹⁸ “For you have had five husbands, and the man with whom you are now living is not your husband; in saying that, you have spoken the truth.”

¹⁹ “I see, Sir, that you are a prophet!” exclaimed the woman.

²⁰ “It was on this mountain that our ancestors worshiped; and yet you Jews say that the proper place for worship is in Jerusalem.”

²¹ “Believe me,” replied Jesus, “a time is coming when it will be neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem that you will worship the Father.

²² You Samaritans do not know what you worship; we know what we worship, for salvation comes from the Jews.

²³ But a time is coming, indeed it is already here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father spiritually and truly; for such are the worshipers that the Father desires.

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.

⁴² and they said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you say that we believe in him, for we have heard him ourselves and know that he really is the Savior of the world.”

⁴³ After these two days Jesus went on to Galilee;

⁴⁴ for he himself declared that ‘a prophet is not honored in his own country.’

⁴⁵ When he entered Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, for they had seen all that he did at Jerusalem during the Festival, at which they also had been present.

³ he left Judea Praise, and departed into Galilee District, Circuit.

⁴ He needed to pass through Samaria Watch-mountain.

⁵ So he came to a city of Samaria Watch-mountain, called Sychar Shoulder, near the parcel of ground that Jacob Supplanter gave to his son, Joseph May he add.

⁶ Jacob Supplanter’s well was there. Yeshua Salvation therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.

⁷ A woman of Samaria Watch-mountain came to draw water. Yeshua Salvation said to her, “Give me a drink.”

⁸ For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

⁹ The Samaritan person from Watch-mountain woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew Praiser, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan person from Watch-mountain woman?” (For Jews Praisers have no dealings with Samaritans people from Watch-mountain.)

¹⁰ Yeshua Salvation answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”

¹¹ The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?

¹² Are you greater than Avinu ·our Father·, Jacob Supplanter, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, as did his children, and his livestock?”

¹³ Yeshua Salvation answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,

¹⁴ but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

¹⁵ The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”

¹⁶ Yeshua Salvation said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”

¹⁷ The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Yeshua Salvation said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’

¹⁸ for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”

¹⁹ The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews Praisers say that in Jerusalem City of peace is the place where people ought to worship.”

²¹ Yeshua Salvation said to her, “Woman, believe me, the time will come, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem City of peace, will you worship Abba Father.

²² You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for yishu'ah ·salvation· is from the Jews Praisers.

²³ But the time will come, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship Abba Father in spirit and truth, for Abba Father seeks such to be his worshipers.

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.

⁴² They said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Messiah Anointed one, the Savior of the world.”

⁴³ After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee District, Circuit.

⁴⁴ For Yeshua Salvation himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

⁴⁵ So when he came into Galilee District, Circuit, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem City of peace at the feast, for they also went to the feast.

³ he lefte Iewry and departed agayne into Galile.

⁴ And it was so that he must nedes goo thorowe Samaria.

⁵ Then came he to a cyte of Samaria called Sichar besydes the possession that Iacob gave to his sonne Ioseph.

⁶ And there was Iacobs well. Iesus then weryed in his iorney sate thus on the well. And it was about the sixte houre:

⁷ and there came a woman of Samaria to drawe water. And Iesus sayde vnto her: geve me drynke.

⁸ For his disciples were gone awaye vnto the toune to bye meate.

⁹ Then sayde the woman of Samaria vnto him: how is it that thou beinge a Iewe axest drinke of me which am a Samaritane? for the Iewes medle not with the Samaritans.

¹⁰ Iesus answered and sayde vnto hir: yf thou knewest the gyfte of God and who it is that sayeth to the geve me drynke thou woldest have axed of him and he wolde have geven the water of lyfe.

¹¹ The woman sayde vnto him. Syr thou hast no thinge to drawe with and the well is depe: from whence then hast thou that water of lyfe?

¹² Arte thou greater then oure father Iacob which gave vs the well and he him silfe dranke therof and his chyldren and his catell?

¹³ Iesus answered and sayde vnto hir: whosoever drinketh of this water shall thurst agayne.

¹⁴ But whosoever shall drinke of the water that I shall geve him shall never be more a thyrst: but the water that I shall geve him shalbe in him a well of water springinge vp in to everlastinge lyfe.

¹⁵ The woman sayd vnto him: Syr geve me of that water that I thyrst not nether come hedder to drawe.

¹⁶ Iesus sayde vnto her. Go and call thy husband and come hydder.

¹⁷ The woman answered and sayde to him: I have no husband. Iesus sayde to her. Thou hast well sayd I have no husbande.

¹⁸ For thou haste had five husbandes and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband. That saydest thou truely.

¹⁹ The woman sayde vnto him: Syr I perceave that thou arte a prophet.

²⁰ Oure fathers worshipped in this mountayne: and ye saye that in Hierusalem is the place where men ought to worshippe.

²¹ Iesus sayde vnto her: woman beleve me the houre cometh when ye shall nether in this moutayne nor yet at Ierusalem worshippe the father.

²² Ye worshippe ye wot not what: we knowe what we worshippe. For salvacion cometh of the Iewes.

²³ But the houre commeth and nowe is when the true worshippers shall worshippe the father in sprete and in trouthe. For verely suche the father requyreth to worshippe him.

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

⁴² and sayd vnto the woman: Now we beleve not because of thy sayinge. For we have herde him oure selves and knowe that this is even in dede Christ the savioure of the worlde.

⁴³ After two dayes he departed thence and wet awaye into Galile.

⁴⁴ And Iesus him selfe testified that a Prophete hath none honoure in his awne countre.

⁴⁵ Then assone as he was come into Galile the Galileans receaved him which had sene all the thinges that he dyd at Ierusalem at the feast. For they wet also vnto the feast daye.

³ he left Judea and went back again to Galilee.

⁴ But it was necessary for him to go through Samaria.

⁵ So he came to a town of Samaria, called Sychar, near the piece of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

⁶ The well of Jacob was there. Jesus was tired from his journey and sat by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Give me some water to drink.”

⁸ For his disciples had gone away into the town to buy food.

⁹ Then the Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, are asking me, being a Samaritan woman, for something to drink?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her, “If you had known the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”

¹¹ The woman said to him, “Sir, you do not have a bucket and the well is deep. Where then do you have the living water?

¹² You are not greater, are you, than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his cattle?”

¹³ Jesus replied and said to her, “Everyone who drinks from this water will be thirsty again,

¹⁴ but whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. Instead, the water that I will give him will become a fountain of water in him, springing up to eternal life.”

¹⁵ The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I may not become thirsty and not have to come here to draw water.”

¹⁶ Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come back here.”

¹⁷ The woman answered and said to him, “I do not have a husband.” Jesus replied, “You are right in saying, 'I have no husband,'

¹⁸ for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.”

¹⁹ The woman said to him, “Sir, I see that you are a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that Jerusalem is the place where people have to worship.”

²¹ Jesus said to her, “Believe me, woman, that an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

²² You worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.

²³ However, the hour is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to be his worshipers.

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.

⁴² They said to the woman, “We no longer believe because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this one is indeed the savior of the world.”

⁴³ After those two days, he departed from there for Galilee.

⁴⁴ For Jesus himself declared that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

⁴⁵ When he came into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all the things that he had done in Jerusalem at the festival, for they had also gone to the festival.

³ he left Judea and departed into Galilee.

⁴ He needed to pass through Samaria.

⁵ So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”

⁸ For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

⁹ The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

¹⁰ Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”

¹¹ The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?

¹² Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?”

¹³ Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,

¹⁴ but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

¹⁵ The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”

¹⁶ Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”

¹⁷ The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’

¹⁸ for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”

¹⁹ The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”

²¹ Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

²³ But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.

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.”

⁴⁵ So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.

³ He left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.

⁴ And he must needs go through Samaria.

⁵ Then he cometh to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground, that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

⁷ There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith to her, Give me to drink.

⁸ (For his disciples had gone to the city to buy provisions.)

⁹ Then saith the woman of Samaria to him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldst have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.

¹¹ The woman saith to him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

¹² Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his children, and his cattle?

¹³ Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinketh of this water, shall thirst again:

¹⁴ But whoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him, shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him, shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

¹⁵ The woman saith to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, neither come hither to draw.

¹⁶ Jesus saith to her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

¹⁷ The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

¹⁸ For thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband: in that thou hast spoken truth.

¹⁹ The woman saith to him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

²¹ Jesus saith to her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

²² Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship, for salvation is from the Jews.

²³ But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

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

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

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

²⁷ And upon this came his disciples, and marveled 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 into the city, and saith to the men,

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

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

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

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

³³ Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him aught 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 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say to 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 to 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 on which ye bestowed no labor: other men labored, and ye have entered into their labors.

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

⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans had come to 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;

⁴² And said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.

⁴³ Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.

⁴⁴ For Jesus himself testified that a prophet hath no honor in his own country.

⁴⁵ Then when he had come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went to the feast.

³ he left Judea and departed into Galilee.

⁴ He needed to pass through Samaria.

⁵ So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ Jacob’s well was there. Yeshua therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Yeshua said to her, “Give me a drink.”

⁸ For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

⁹ The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

¹⁰ Yeshua answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”

¹¹ The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?

¹² Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?”

¹³ Yeshua answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,

¹⁴ but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

¹⁵ The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”

¹⁶ Yeshua said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”

¹⁷ The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Yeshua said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’

¹⁸ for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”

¹⁹ The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”

²¹ Yeshua said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

²² You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

²³ But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.

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 Messiah. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”

²⁶ Yeshua 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 Messiah?”

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 Yeshua 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.

⁴² They said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Messiah, the Savior of the world.”

⁴³ After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.

⁴⁴ For Yeshua himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

⁴⁵ So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.

³ he left Judea and departed into Galilee.

⁴ He needed to pass through Samaria.

⁵ So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

⁶ Jacob’s well was there. Yeshua therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

⁷ A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Yeshua said to her, “Give me a drink.”

⁸ For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

⁹ The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

¹⁰ Yeshua answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”

¹¹ The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?

¹² Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?”

¹³ Yeshua answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,

¹⁴ but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”

¹⁵ The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”

¹⁶ Yeshua said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”

¹⁷ The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Yeshua said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’

¹⁸ for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”

¹⁹ The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”

²¹ Yeshua said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

²² You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

²³ But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshippers.

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 Messiah. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”

²⁶ Yeshua 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 Messiah?”

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 Yeshua 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.

⁴² They said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Messiah, the Saviour of the world.”

⁴³ After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.

⁴⁴ For Yeshua himself testified that a prophet has no honour in his own country.

⁴⁵ So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.

³ he left Judea, and went again into Galilee.

⁴ And it behooved him to pass by Samaria.

⁵ Therefore Jesus came into a city of Samaria, that is called Sychar, beside the place or the field that Jacob gave to Joseph, his son.

⁶ And the well of Jacob was there; and Jesus was weary of the journey, and sat thus upon the well. And the hour was, as it were the sixth.

⁷ And a woman came from Samaria, to draw water. And Jesus saith to her, Give me drink.

⁸ And his disciples were gone into the city, to buy meat.

⁹ Therefore that woman of Samaria saith to him, How thou, that art a Jew, askest of me a drink, that am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews used not to deal with the Samaritans.

¹⁰ Jesus answered, and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is, that saith to thee, Give me drink, thou peradventure wouldest have asked of him, and he should have given to thee quick water.

¹¹ The woman saith to him, Sire, thou hast not wherein to draw, and the pit is deep; whereof then hast thou quick water?

¹² Whether thou art greater than our father Jacob, that gave to us the pit? and he drank thereof, and his sons, and his beasts.

¹³ Jesus answered, and said to her, Each man that drinketh of this water, shall thirst again;

¹⁴ but he that drinketh of the water that I shall give him, shall not thirst without end; but the water that I shall give him, shall be made in him a well of water, springing up into everlasting life.

¹⁵ The woman saith to him, Sire, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

¹⁶ Jesus saith to her, Go, call thine husband, and come hither.

¹⁷ The woman answered, and said, I have none husband or I have not an husband. Jesus saith to her, Thou saidest well, That I have none husband or I have not an husband;

¹⁸ for thou hast had five husbands, and he that thou hast now, is not thine husband. This thing thou saidest soothly.

¹⁹ The woman saith to him, Lord, I see, that thou art a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshipped in this hill, and ye say, that at Jerusalem is a place, where it behooveth to worship.

²¹ Jesus 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.

²² Ye worship that that ye know not; we worship that that we know; for health is of the Jews.

²³ But 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.

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 Messiah is come, that is said Christ; therefore when he cometh, he shall tell us all things.

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,

⁴² and 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.

⁴³ And after two days he went out from thence, and went into Galilee.

⁴⁴ And he bare witnessing, that a prophet in his own country hath none honour, or worship.

⁴⁵ Therefore when he came into Galilee, men of Galilee received him, when they had seen all things that he had done in Jerusalem in the feast day; for also they had come to the feast day.

³ he left Judea, and went again into Galilee.

⁴ And it behooved him to pass by Samaria. (And it was necessary that he pass through Samaria.)

⁵ Therefore Jesus came into a city of Samaria, that is called Sychar, beside the place or the field that Jacob gave to Joseph, his son.

⁶ And the well of Jacob was there; and Jesus was weary of the journey, and sat thus upon the well. And the hour was, as it were the sixth. (And Jacob’s well was there; and Jesus was weary from the journey, and sat down by the well. And it was about noon.)

⁷ And a woman came from Samaria, to draw water, (or And a woman of Samaria came to draw water). And Jesus saith to her, Give me (a) drink.

⁸ And his disciples were gone into the city, to buy meat (or to buy some food).

⁹ Therefore that woman of Samaria saith to him, How (is it that) thou, that art a Jew, askest of me (for) a drink, that am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews used not to deal with the Samaritans.

¹⁰ Jesus answered, and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is, that saith to thee, Give me (a) drink, thou peradventure wouldest have asked of him, and he should have given to thee quick water (or and then he would have given thee living water).

¹¹ The woman saith to him, Sire, thou hast not wherein to draw, and the pit is deep; whereof then hast thou quick water? (The woman said to him, Sir, thou hast nothing with which to draw up the water, and the well is deep; from where then would thou get this living water?)

¹² Whether thou art greater than our father Jacob, that gave to us the pit? and he drank thereof, and his sons, and his beasts. (Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well? and he, and his sons, and his beasts, all drank from it.)

¹³ Jesus answered, and said to her, Each man that drinketh of this water, shall thirst again;

¹⁴ but he that drinketh of the water that I shall give him, shall not thirst into without end; but the water that I shall give him, shall be made in him a well of water, springing up into everlasting life (or springing up for eternal life).

¹⁵ The woman saith to him, Sire (or Sir), give me this water, (so) that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

¹⁶ Jesus saith to her, Go, call thine husband, and come hither.

¹⁷ The woman answered, and said, I have none husband. Jesus saith to her, Thou saidest well, That I have none husband; The woman answered, and said, I have not an husband. Jesus saith to her, Thou saidest well, For I have not an husband;

¹⁸ for thou hast had five husbands, and he that thou hast now, is not thine husband. This thing thou saidest soothly (or Thou hast spoken truthfully).

¹⁹ The woman saith to him, Lord, I see, that thou art a prophet.

²⁰ Our fathers worshipped in this hill, and ye (Jews) say, that at Jerusalem is a place, where it behooveth (all) to worship.

²¹ Jesus 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.

²² Ye 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).

²³ But 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.

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.

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? (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.

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

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. (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!)

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.

⁴¹ And many more believed for his word(s),

⁴² and 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, (or for we have heard, and we know, that he is truly the Saviour of the world).

⁴³ And after two days he went out from thence, and went into Galilee.

⁴⁴ And he bare witnessing, that a prophet in his own country hath none honour. Soothly Jesus bare witnessing, for a prophet in his own country hath not honour, or worship. (And he testified, that a prophet is not honoured in his hometown.)

⁴⁵ Therefore when he came into Galilee, men of Galilee received him, when they had seen all (the) things that he had done in Jerusalem in the feast day (or for they had seen all the things that he had done in Jerusalem on the Feast Day, or at the Festival); for also they had come to the feast day.

³ and wente ayen in to Galilee.

⁴ And it bihofte hym to passe bi Samarie.

⁵ Therfor Jhesus cam in to a citee of Samarie, that is seid Sicar, bisidis the place, that Jacob yaf to Joseph, his sone.

⁶ And the welle of Jacob was there; and Jhesus was weri of the iourney, and sat thus vpon the welle. And the our was, as it were the sixte.

⁷ And a womman cam fro Samarie, to drawe watir. And Jhesus seith to hir, Yyue me drynk.

⁸ And hise disciplis weren gon in to the citee, to bie mete.

⁹ Therfor thilke womman of Samarie seith to him, Hou thou, `whanne thou art a Jewe, axist of me drynk, that am a womman of Samarie? for Jewis vsiden not to dele with Samaritans.

¹⁰ Jhesus answerde, and seide to hir, If thou wistist the yifte of God, and who `he is, that seith to thee, Yyue me drynk, thou perauenture woldist haue axid of hym, and he schulde haue youun to thee quyk watir.

¹¹ The womman seith to him, Sire, thou hast not where ynne to drawe, and the pit is deep; wherof thanne hast thou quik watir?

¹² Whethir thou art grettere than oure fadir Jacob, that yaf to vs the pit? and he drank therof, and hise sones, and hise beestis.

¹³ Jhesus answerde, and seide to hir, Eche man that drynkith of this watir, schal thirste efte soone; but he that drynkith of the watir that Y schal yyue hym, schal not thirste with outen ende; but the watir that Y schal yyue hym,

¹⁴ schal be maad in hym a welle `of watir, spryngynge vp in to euerlastynge lijf.

¹⁵ The womman seith to hym, Sire, yyue me this watir, that Y thirste not, nether come hidur to drawe.

¹⁶ Jhesus seith to hir, Go, clepe thin hosebonde, and come hidir.

¹⁷ The womman answerde, and seide, Y haue noon hosebonde. Jhesus seith to hir, Thou seidist wel, That Y haue noon hosebonde;

¹⁸ for thou hast hadde fyue hosebondis, and he that thou hast, is not thin hosebonde. This thing thou seidist sotheli.

¹⁹ The womman seith to hym, Lord, Y se, that thou art a prophete.

²⁰ Oure fadris worschipiden in this hil, and ye seien, that at Jerusalem is a place, where it bihoueth to worschipe.

²¹ Jhesus seith to hir, Womman, bileue thou to me, for the our schal come, whanne nether in this hil, nethir in Jerusalem, ye schulen worschipe the fadir.

²² Ye worschipen that ye knowen not; we worschipen that that we knowen; for helthe is of the Jewis.

²³ But the tyme is comun, and now it is, whanne trewe worschiperis schulen worschipe the fadir in spirit and treuthe; for also the fadir sekith suche, that worschipen hym.

²⁴ God is a spirit, and it bihoueth hem that worschipen hym, to worschipe in spirit and treuthe.

²⁵ The womman seith to hym, Y woot that Messias is comun, that is seid Crist; therfor whanne he cometh, he schal telle vs alle thingis.

²⁶ Jhesus seith to hir, Y am he, that spekith with thee.

²⁷ And anoon hise disciplis camen, and wondriden, that he spak with the womman; netheles no man seide to hym, What sekist thou, or, What spekist thou with hir?

²⁸ Therfor the womman lefte hir watir pot, and wente in to the citee, and seide to tho men,

²⁹ Come ye, and se ye a man, that seide to me alle thingis that Y haue don; whether he be Crist?

³⁰ And thei wenten out of the citee, and camen to hym.

³¹ In the mene while hise disciplis preieden hym, and seiden, Maistir, ete.

³² But he seide to hem, Y haue mete to ete, that ye knowen not.

³³ Therfor disciplis seiden togidir, Whether ony man hath brouyt him mete to ete?

³⁴ Jhesus seith to hem, My mete is, that Y do the wille of hym that sente me, that Y perfourme the werk of hym.

³⁵ Whether ye seien not, that yit foure monethis ben, and rype corn cometh? Lo! Y seie to you, lifte vp youre iyen, and se ye the feeldis, for now thei ben white to repe.

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.

⁴⁰ Therfor whanne Samaritans camen to hym, thei preieden hym to dwelle there; and he dwelte there twey daies.

⁴¹ And many mo bileueden for his word,

⁴² and seiden to the womman, That now not for thi speche we bileuen; for we han herd, and we witen, that this is verili the sauyour of the world.

⁴³ And aftir twei daies he wente out fro thennus, and wente in to Galilee.

⁴⁴ And he bar witnessyng, that a profete in his owne cuntre hath noon onour.

⁴⁵ Therfor whanne he cam in to Galilee, men of Galilee resseyueden hym, whanne thei hadden seyn alle thingis that he hadde don in Jerusalem in the feeste dai; for also thei hadden comun to the feeste dai.

³ he left Judea and went away again to Galilee,

⁴ and it was behoving him to go through Samaria.

⁵ He cometh, therefore, to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the place that Jacob gave to Joseph his son;

⁶ and there was there a well of Jacob. Jesus therefore having been weary from the journeying, was sitting thus on the well; it was as it were the sixth hour;

⁷ there cometh a woman out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith to her, 'Give me to drink;'

⁸ for his disciples were gone away to the city, that they may buy victuals;

⁹ the Samaritan woman therefore saith to him, 'How dost thou, being a Jew, ask drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?' for Jews have no dealing with Samaritans.

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to her, 'If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.'

¹¹ The woman saith to him, 'Sir, thou hast not even a vessel to draw with, and the well is deep; whence, then, hast thou the living water?

¹² Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who did give us the well, and himself out of it did drink, and his sons, and his cattle?'

¹³ Jesus answered and said to her, 'Every one who is drinking of this water shall thirst again;

¹⁴ but whoever may drink of the water that I will give him, may not thirst — to the age; and the water that I will give him shall become in him a well of water, springing up to life age-during.'

¹⁵ The woman saith unto him, 'Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.'

¹⁶ Jesus saith to her, 'Go, call thy husband, and come hither;'

¹⁷ the woman answered and said, 'I have not a husband.' Jesus saith to her, 'Well didst thou say — A husband I have not;

¹⁸ for five husbands thou hast had, and, now, he whom thou hast is not thy husband; this hast thou said truly.'

¹⁹ The woman saith to him, 'Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet;

²⁰ our fathers in this mountain did worship, and ye — ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where it behoveth to worship.'

²¹ Jesus saith to her, 'Woman, believe me, that there doth come an hour, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father;

²² ye worship what ye have not known; we worship what we have known, because the salvation is of the Jews;

²³ but, there cometh an hour, and it now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also doth seek such to worship him;

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,

⁴² and said to the woman — 'No more because of thy speaking do we believe; for we ourselves have heard and known that this is truly the Saviour of the world — the Christ.'

⁴³ And after the two days he went forth thence, and went away to Galilee,

⁴⁴ for Jesus himself testified that a prophet in his own country shall not have honour;

⁴⁵ when then, he came to Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all things that he did in Jerusalem in the feast — for they also went to the feast.
