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.
