John 4 — Scripture text (King James Version)
When5613 therefore3767 the Lord2962 knew1097 how3754 the 5330 had heard191 that3754 2424 made4160 and2532 baptized907 more4119 disciples3101 than2228 2491, (Though2544 2424 himself846 baptized907 not3756, but235 his846 disciples3101,) He left863 Judaea2449, and2532 departed565 again3825 into1519 1056. And1161 he must needs1163 go1330 through1223 4540. Then3767 cometh he2064 to1519 a city4172 of 4540, which is called3004 4965, near4139 to the parcel of ground5564 that3739 2384 gave1325 to his846 son5207 2501. Now1161 's2384 4077 was2258 there1563. 2424 therefore3767, being wearied2872 with1537 his journey3597, sat2516 thus3779 1909 the 4077: and it was2258 about5616 the sixth1623 hour5610. There cometh2064 a woman1135 of1537 4540 to draw501 water5204: 2424 saith3004 unto her846, Give1325 me3427 to drink4095. (For1063 his846 disciples3101 were gone away565 unto1519 the city4172 to2443 buy59 meat5160.) Then3767 saith3004 the woman1135 of 4542 unto him846, How is it that4459 thou4771, being5607 a Jew2453, askest154 drink4095 of3844 me1700, which am5607 a woman1135 of 4542? for1063 the 2453 have4798 no3756 dealings4798 with the 4541. 2424 answered611 and2532 said2036 unto her846, If1487 thou knewest1492 the gift1431 of God2316, and2532 who5101 it is2076 that saith3004 to thee4671, Give1325 me3427 to drink4095; thou4771 wouldest302 have asked154 of him846, and2532 he would302 have given1325 thee4671 living2198 water5204. The woman1135 saith3004 unto him846, Sir2962, thou hast2192 nothing3777 to draw with502, and2532 the 5421 is2076 deep901: from whence4159 then3767 hast thou2192 that living2198 water5204? 3361 Art1488 thou4771 greater3187 than our2257 father3962 2384, which3739 gave1325 us2254 the 5421, and2532 drank4095 thereof1537 846 himself846, and2532 his846 children5207, and2532 his846 cattle2353? 2424 answered611 and2532 said2036 unto her846, Whosoever3956 drinketh4095 of1537 this5127 water5204 shall thirst1372 again3825: But1161 whosoever3739 302 drinketh4095 of1537 the water5204 that3739 I1473 shall give1325 him846 shall1372 never1519 165 3364 thirst1372; but235 the water5204 that3739 I shall give1325 him846 shall be1096 in1722 him846 a 4077 of water5204 springing up242 into1519 everlasting166 life2222. The woman1135 saith3004 unto4314 him846, Sir2962, give1325 me3427 this5124 water5204, that3363 I thirst1372 not3363, neither3366 come2064 hither1759 to draw501. 2424 saith3004 unto her846, Go5217, call5455 thy4675 husband435, and2532 come2064 hither1759. The woman1135 answered611 and2532 said2036, I have2192 no3756 husband435. 2424 said3004 unto her846, Thou hast2036 2573 said2036,3754 I have2192 no3756 husband435: For1063 thou hast had2192 five4002 husbands435; and2532 he whom3739 thou2192 now3568 hast2192 is2076 not3756 thy4675 husband435: in that5124 saidst thou2046 truly227. The woman1135 saith3004 unto him846, Sir2962, I perceive2334 that3754 thou4771 art1488 a prophet4396. Our2257 fathers3962 worshipped4352 in1722 this5129 mountain3735; and2532 ye5210 say3004, that3754 in1722 2414 is2076 the place5117 where3699 men ought1163 to worship4352. 2424 saith3004 unto her846, Woman1135, believe4100 me3427, the hour5610 cometh3754 2064, when3753 ye shall4352 neither3777 in1722 this5129 mountain3735, nor yet3777 at1722 2414, worship4352 the Father3962. Ye5210 worship4352 ye know1492 not3756 what3739: we know1492 what3739 we2249 worship4352: for3754 4991 is2076 of1537 the 2453. But235 the hour5610 cometh2064, and2532 now3568 is2076, when3753 the true228 worshippers4353 shall worship4352 the Father3962 in1722 spirit4151 and2532 in truth225: for2532 1063 the Father3962 seeketh2212 such5108 to worship4352 him846. God2316 is a Spirit4151: and2532 they that worship4352 him846 must1163 worship4352 him in1722 spirit4151 and2532 in truth225. The woman1135 saith3004 unto him846, I know1492 that3754 Messias3323 cometh2064, which3588 is called3004 5547: when3752 he1565 is come2064, he will tell312 us2254 all things3956. 2424 saith3004 unto her846, I1473 that speak2980 unto thee4671 am1510 he. And2532 upon1909 this5129 came2064 his846 disciples3101, and2532 marvelled2296 that3754 he talked2980 with3326 the woman1135: yet3305 no man3762 said2036, What5101 seekest thou2212? or2228, Why5101 talkest thou2980 with3326 her846? The woman1135 then3767 left863 her846 waterpot5201, and2532 went her way565 into1519 the city4172, and2532 saith3004 to the men444, Come1205, see1492 a man444, which3739 told2036 me3427 all things3956 that ever3745 I did4160: is2076 not3385 this3778 the 5547? Then3767 they went1831 out of1537 the city4172, and2532 came2064 unto4314 him846. 1161 In1722 the mean3342 while his disciples3101 prayed2065 him846, saying3004, Master4461, eat5315. But1161 he said2036 unto them846, I1473 have2192 meat1035 to eat5315 that3739 ye5210 know1492 not3756 of1492. Therefore3767 said3004 the disciples3101 one to another4314 240, Hath5342 any man3387 brought5342 him846 ought to eat5315? 2424 saith3004 unto them846, My1699 meat1033 is2076 to2443 do4160 the will2307 of him that sent3992 me3165, and2532 to finish5048 his846 work2041. Say3004 not3756 ye5210, There3754 are2076 yet2089 four months5072, and2532 then cometh2064 harvest2326? behold2400, I say3004 unto you5213, Lift up1869 your5216 eyes3788, and2532 look 2300 the fields5561; for3754 they are1526 white3022 already2235 to4314 harvest2326. And2532 he that reapeth2325 receiveth2983 wages3408, and2532 gathereth4863 fruit2590 unto1519 life2222 eternal166: that2443 both2532 he that soweth4687 and2532 he that reapeth2325 may rejoice5463 together3674. And1063 herein1722 5129 is2076 that saying3056 true228,3754 One243 soweth2076 4687, and2532 another243 reapeth2325. I1473 sent649 you5209 to reap2325 that whereon3739 ye5210 bestowed2872 no3756 labour2872: other men243 laboured2872, and2532 ye5210 are entered1525 into1519 their846 labours2873. And1161 many4183 of the 4541 of1537 that1565 city4172 believed4100 1519 him846 for1223 the saying3056 of the woman1135, which testified3140,3754 He told2036 me3427 all3956 that ever3745 I did4160. So3767 when5613 the 4541 were come2064 unto4314 him846, they besought2065 him846 that he would tarry3306 with3844 them846: and2532 he abode3306 there1563 two1417 days2250. And2532 many4183 more4119 believed4100 because1223 of his own846 word3056; And5037 said3004 unto the woman1135,3754 Now3765 we believe4100, not3754 because1223 of thy4674 saying2981: for1063 we have heard191 him ourselves846, and2532 know1492 that3754 this3778 is2076 indeed230 the 5547, the Saviour4990 of the world2889. Now1161 after3326 two1417 days2250 he departed565 1831 thence1564, and2532 went into1519 1056. For1063 2424 himself846 testified3140, that3754 a prophet4396 hath2192 no3756 honour5092 in1722 his own2398 country3968. Then3767 when3753 he was come2064 into1519 1056, the Galilaeans1057 received1209 him846, having seen3708 all the things3956 that3739 he did4160 at1722 2414 at1722 the feast1859: for1063 they846 also2532 went2064 unto1519 the feast1859. So3767 2424 came2064 again3825 into1519 2580 of 1056, where3699 he made4160 the water5204 wine3631. And2532 there was2258 a certain5100 nobleman937, whose3739 son5207 was sick770 at1722 2584. nobleman: or, courtier, or, ruler When he3778 heard191 that3754 2424 was come2240 out of1537 Judaea2449 into1519 1056, he went565 unto4314 him846, and2532 besought2065 him846 that2443 he would come down2597, and2532 heal2390 his846 son5207: for1063 he was at the point3195 of death599. Then3767 said2036 2424 unto4314 him846, Except3362 ye see1492 signs4592 and2532 wonders5059, ye will4100 not3364 believe4100. The nobleman937 saith3004 unto4314 him846, Sir2962, come down2597 ere4250 my3450 child3813 die599. 2424 saith3004 unto him846, Go thy way4198; thy4675 son5207 liveth2198. And2532 the man444 believed4100 3056 that3739 2424 had spoken2036 unto him846, and2532 he went his way4198. And1161 as he846 was now2235 going down2597, his846 servants1401 met528 him846, and2532 told518 him, saying3004,3754 Thy4675 son3816 liveth2198. Then3767 enquired he4441 of3844 them846 the hour5610 when1722 3739 he began2192 to amend2866. And2532 they said2036 unto him846,3754 Yesterday5504 at the seventh1442 hour5610 the fever4446 left863 him846. So3767 the father3962 knew1097 that3754 it was at1722 the same1565 hour5610, in1722 the which3739 2424 said2036 unto him846,3754 Thy4675 son5207 liveth2198: and2532 himself846 believed4100, and2532 his846 whole3650 house3614. This5124 is again3825 the second1208 4592 that 2424 did4160, when he was come out2064 of1537 Judaea2449 into1519 1056.
