John 4

1 When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
Compare verse
2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
Compare verse
3 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
Compare verse
4 And he must needs go through Samaria.
Compare verse
5 Then comes he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
7 There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus said to her, Give me to drink.
Compare verse
8 (For his disciples were gone away to the city to buy meat.)
Compare verse
9 Then said the woman of Samaria to him, How is it that you, being a Jew, ask drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
Compare verse
10 Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that said to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.
Compare verse
11 The woman said to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from where then have you that living water?
Compare verse
12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
Compare verse
13 Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinks of this water shall thirst again:
Compare verse
14 But whoever drinks 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.
Compare verse
15 The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come here to draw.
Compare verse
16 Jesus said to her, Go, call your husband, and come here.
Compare verse
17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have well said, I have no husband:
Compare verse
18 For you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband: in that said you truly.
Compare verse
19 The woman said to him, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
Compare verse
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Compare verse
21 Jesus said to her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
Compare verse
22 You worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
Compare verse
23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him.
Compare verse
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Compare verse
25 The woman said to him, I know that Messias comes, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
Compare verse
26 Jesus said to her, I that speak to you am he.
Compare verse
27 And on this came his disciples, and marveled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seek you? or, Why talk you with her?
Compare verse
28 The woman then left her water pot, and went her way into the city, and said to the men,
Compare verse
29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
Compare verse
30 Then they went out of the city, and came to him.
Compare verse
31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
Compare verse
32 But he said to them, I have meat to eat that you know not of.
Compare verse
33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Has any man brought him ought to eat?
Compare verse
34 Jesus said to them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
Compare verse
35 Say not you, There are yet four months, and then comes harvest? behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
Compare verse
36 And he that reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to life eternal: that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together.
Compare verse
37 And herein is that saying true, One sows, and another reaps.
Compare verse
38 I sent you to reap that where on you bestowed no labor: other men labored, and you are entered into their labors.
Compare verse
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.
Compare verse
40 So when the Samaritans were come to him, they sought him that he would tarry with them: and he stayed there two days.
Compare verse
41 And many more believed because of his own word;
Compare verse
42 And said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of your saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.
Compare verse
43 Now after two days he departed there, and went into Galilee.
Compare verse
44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
Compare verse
45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went to the feast.
Compare verse
46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
Compare verse
47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went to him, and sought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
Compare verse
48 Then said Jesus to him, Except you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.
Compare verse
49 The nobleman said to him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
Compare verse
50 Jesus said to him, Go your way; your son lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken to him, and he went his way.
Compare verse
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Your son lives.
Compare verse
52 Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
Compare verse
53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said to him, Your son lives: and himself believed, and his whole house.
Compare verse
54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
