Eleventh Event
John 4:5 - 42
John 4:5
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 Messiah 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 aught
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.
