CHAP. IIII. / 1 Christ talketh with a woman of Samaria, and reueileth himselfe vnto her. 27 His disciples marueile. 31 He declareth to them his zeale to Gods glory. 39 Many Samaritanes beleeue on him.

1When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Iesus made and baptized moe disciples then Iohn,Select John 4:1

2(Though Iesus himselfe baptized not, but his disciples:)Select John 4:2

3He left Iudea, and departed againe into Galile.Select John 4:3

4And hee must needs goe thorow Samaria.Select John 4:4

5Then commeth he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, neere to the parcell of ground that Iacob gaue to his sonne Ioseph.Select John 4:5

6Now Iacobs Well was there. Iesus therefore being wearied with his iourney, sate thus on the Well: and it was about the sixth houre.Select John 4:6

7There commeth a woman of Samaria to draw water: Iesus sayth vnto her, Giue me to drinke.Select John 4:7

8For his disciples were gone away vnto the city to buy meate.Select John 4:8

9Then saith the woman of Samaria vnto him, How is it that thou, being a Iewe, askest drinke of me, which am a woman of Samaria? For the Iewes haue no dealings with the Samaritanes.Select John 4:9

10Iesus answered, and said vnto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that sayth to thee, Giue me to drinke; thou wouldest haue asked of him, and hee would haue giuen thee liuing water.Select John 4:10

11The woman saith vnto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to drawe with, and the Well is deepe: from whence then hast thou that liuing water?Select John 4:11

12Art thou greater then our father Iacob, which gaue vs the Well, and dranke thereof himselfe, and his children, and his cattell?Select John 4:12

13Iesus answered, and said vnto her, Whosoeuer drinketh of this water, shall thirst againe:Select John 4:13

14But whosoeuer drinketh of the water that I shal giue him, shall neuer thirst: but the water that I shall giue him, shalbe in him a well of water springing vp into euerlasting life.Select John 4:14

15The woman saith vnto him, Sir, giue me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.Select John 4:15

16Iesus saith vnto her, Goe, call thy husband, and come hither.Select John 4:16

17The woman answered, and said, I haue no husband. Iesus said vnto her, Thou hast well said, I haue no husband:Select John 4:17

18For thou hast had fiue husbands, and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband: In that saidest thou truely.Select John 4:18

19The woman saith vnto him, Sir, I perceiue that thou art a Prophet.Select John 4:19

20Our fathers worshipped in this mountaine, and ye say, that in Hierusalem is the place where men ought to worship.Select John 4:20

21Iesus saith vnto her, Woman, beleeue me, the houre commeth when ye shall neither in this mountaine, nor yet at Hierusalem, worship the Father.Select John 4:21

22Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for saluation is of the Iewes.Select John 4:22

23But the houre commeth, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit, and in trueth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.Select John 4:23

24God is a Spirit, and they that worship him, must worship him in spirit, and in trueth.Select John 4:24

25The woman saith vnto him, I know that Messias commeth, which is called Christ: when he is come, hee will tell vs all things.Select John 4:25

26Iesus sayth vnto her, I that speake vnto thee, am hee.Select John 4:26

27And vpon this came his disciples, and marueiled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou, or, Why talkest thou with her?Select John 4:27

28The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and sayth to the men,Select John 4:28

29Come, see a man, which tolde me all things that euer I did: Is not this the Christ?Select John 4:29

30Then they went out of the citie, and came vnto him.Select John 4:30

31In the meane while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eate.Select John 4:31

32But hee said vnto them, I haue meate to eate that ye know not of.Select John 4:32

33Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eate?Select John 4:33

34Iesus saith vnto them, My meat is, to doe the will of him that sent mee, and to finish his worke.Select John 4:34

35Say not ye, There are yet foure moneths, and then commeth haruest? Behold, I say vnto you, Lift vp your eyes, and looke on the fields: for they are white already to haruest.Select John 4:35

36And hee that reapeth receiueth wages, and gathereth fruite vnto life eternall: that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth, may reioyce together.Select John 4:36

37And herein is that saying true: One soweth, and another reapeth.Select John 4:37

38I sent you to reape that, whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and yee are entred into their labours.Select John 4:38

39And many of the Samaritanes of that citie beleeued on him, for the saying of the woman, which testified, Hee told me all that euer I did.Select John 4:39

40So when the Samaritanes were come vnto him, they besought him that he would tarie with them, and he abode there two dayes.Select John 4:40

41And many moe beleeued, because of his owne word:Select John 4:41

42And said vnto the woman, Now we beleeue, not because of thy saying, for we haue heard him our selues, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Sauiour of the world.Select John 4:42

43Now after two dayes he departed thence, and went into Galilee:Select John 4:43

44For Iesus himselfe testified, that a Prophet hath no honour in his owne countrey.Select John 4:44

45Then when hee was come into Galilee, the Galileans receiued him, hauing seene all the things that hee did at Hierusalem at the Feast: for they also went vnto the Feast.Select John 4:45

46So Iesus came againe into Cana of Galilee, where hee made the water wine. And there was a certaine noble man, whose sonne was sicke at Capernaum.Select John 4:46

47When he heard that Iesus was come out of Iudea into Galilee, hee went vnto him, and besought him that he would come downe, and heale his sonne: for he was at the point of death.Select John 4:47

48Then said Iesus vnto him, Except ye see signes and wonders, yee will not beleeue.Select John 4:48

49The noble man saith vnto him, Syr, come downe ere my child die.Select John 4:49

50Iesus saith vnto him, Go thy way, thy sonne liueth. And the man beleeued the word that Iesus had spoken vnto him, and he went his way.Select John 4:50

51And as he was now going down, his seruants met him, and told him, saying, Thy sonne liueth.Select John 4:51

52Then inquired hee of them the houre when he began to amend: and they said vnto him, Yesterday at the seuenth houre the feuer left him.Select John 4:52

53So the father knewe that it was at the same houre, in the which Iesus said vnto him, Thy sonne liueth, and himselfe beleeued, and his whole house.Select John 4:53

54This is againe the second miracle that Iesus did, when hee was come out of Iudea into Galilee.Select John 4:54
