John 4:30-54

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

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

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

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

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

³⁵Do 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.

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

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

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

³⁹Now 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.

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

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

⁴²And 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.

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

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

⁴⁵And 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.

⁴⁶He came again therefore into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capharnaum.

⁴⁷He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him, and prayed him to come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.

⁴⁸Jesus therefore said to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not.

⁴⁹The ruler saith to him: Lord, come down before that my son die.

⁵⁰Jesus saith to him: Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way.

⁵¹And as he was going down, his servants met him; and they brought word, saying, that his son lived.

⁵²He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.

⁵³The father therefore knew, that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth; and himself believed, and his whole house.

⁵⁴This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea into Galilee.
