1 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Yeshua was making and immersing more disciples than Yochanan 2 (although Yeshua himself didn’t immerse, but his disciples), 3 he left Judea and departed into Galilee. 4 He needed to pass through Samaria. 5 So he came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son, Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there. Yeshua therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour. 7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Yeshua said to her, "Give me a drink." 8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

9 The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, "How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

10 Yeshua answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."

11 The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water? 12 Are you greater than our father, Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?"

13 Yeshua answered her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."

15 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw."

16 Yeshua said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."

17 The woman answered, "I have no husband."

Yeshua said to her, "You said well, ‘I have no husband,’ 18 for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly."

19 The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship."

21 Yeshua said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father. 22 You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews. 23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

25 The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah comes, he who is called Messiah. When he has come, he will declare to us all things."

26 Yeshua said to her, "I am he, the one who speaks to you." 27 At this, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, "What are you looking for?" or, "Why do you speak with her?" 28 So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people, 29 "Come, see a man who told me everything that I did. Can this be the Messiah?"

30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him. 31 In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."

32 But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you don’t know about."

33 The disciples therefore said to one another, "Has anyone brought him something to eat?"

34 Yeshua said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work. 35 Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest?’ Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already. 36 He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to eternal life; that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37 For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor."

39 From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, "He told me everything that I did." 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days. 41 Many more believed because of his word. 42 They said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Messiah, the Savior of the world."

43 After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee. 44 For Yeshua himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country. 45 So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast. 46 Yeshua came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Yeshua had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. 48 Yeshua therefore said to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe."

49 The nobleman said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies." 50 Yeshua said to him, "Go your way. Your son lives." The man believed the word that Yeshua spoke to him, and he went his way. 51 As he was now going down, his servants met him and reported, saying "Your child lives!" 52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him." 53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Yeshua said to him, "Your son lives." He believed, as did his whole house. 54 This is again the second sign that Yeshua did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.

1 Jesus, knowing that the Pharisees were informed that he made and immersed more disciples than John,2 (though it was not Jesus himself, but his disciples, who immersed,)3 left Judea, and returned to Galilee.4 Being obliged to pass through Samaria,5 he came to a Samaritan city, called Sychar, near the heritage which Jacob gave his son Joseph.6 Now Jacob's well was there. And Jesus, wearied with the journey, sat down by the well, it being about the sixth hour.7 A woman of Samaria, having come to draw water, Jesus said to her, Give me some drink,8 (for his disciples were gone into the city to buy food;)9 the Samaritan woman answered, How is it, that you, who are a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a Samaritan? (For the Jews have no friendly intercourse with the Samaritans.)10 Jesus replied, If you knew the bounty of God, and who it is that says to you, Give me some drink, you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.11 She answered, Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep: whence, then, have you the living water?12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?13 Jesus replied, Whosoever drinks of this water, will thirst again;14 but whosoever will drink of the water which I shall give him, will never thirst more; but the water which I shall give him, will be in him a fountain, springing up to everlasting life.15 The woman answered, Sir, give me this water, that I may never be thirsty, nor come hither to draw.16 Jesus said to her, Go, call your husband, and come back.17 She answered, I have no husband. Jesus replied, You say well, I have no husband;18 for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have, is not your husband. In this, you have spoken truth.19 The woman said, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place, where me ought to worship.21 Jesus answered, Woman, believe me, the time approaches when you shall neither come to this mountain, nor go to Jerusalem, to worship the Father.22 You worship what you know not, we worship what we know: for salvation is from the Jews.23 But the time comes, or, rather, is come, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such are the worshipers whom the Father requires.24 God is Spirit, and they that worship him, must worship him in spirit and truth.25 The woman replied, I know that the Messiah comes, (that is, Christ;) when he is come, he will teach us all things.26 Jesus said to her, I who speak to you, am he.27 Upon this, his disciples came, and wondered that he talked with a woman; yet none of them said, What do you seek? or, Why do you talk with her?28 Then the woman left her pitcher, and having gone into the city, said to the people,29 Come, see a man who has told me all that I ever did. Is this not the Messiah?30 They, accordingly, went out of the city, and came to him.31 Meanwhile, the disciples entreating him, said, Rabbi, eat.32 He answered, I have food to eat which you know not.33 Then said his disciples, one to another, Has any man brought him food?34 Jesus answered, My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to finish his work.35 Do you not say, After four months comes harvest? But I say, Lift up your eyes, and survey the fields; for they are already white enough for harvest.36 The reaper receives wages, and gathers the fruits of eternal life, that both the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.37 For in this, the proverb is verified, One sows, and another reaps.38 I sent you to reap that on which you have bestowed no labor: others labored, and you get possession of their labors.39 Now, many Samaritans of that city believed him, on the testimony of the woman, who said, He told me all that ever I did.40 When, therefore, they came to him, they besought him to stay with them; and he staid there two days.41 And many more believed, because of what they heard from himself;42 and they said to the woman, It is not, now, on account of what you have reported, that we believe; for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is truly the Saviour of the world, the Messiah.43 After the two days, Jesus departed, and went to Galilee,44 for he had himself declared that a prophet is not regarded in his own country.45 Being come into Galilee, he was well received by the Galileans, who had seen all that he did at Jerusalem, during the festival; for they likewise attended the festival.46 Then Jesus returned to Cana, of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain officer of the court, whose son lay sick at Capernaum,47 who having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him, and entreated him to come and cure his son, who was dying.48 Jesus said to him, Unless you see signs and prodigies, you will not believe.49 The officer answered, Come, Sir, before my child die.50 Jesus replied, Go your way. Your son is well. And the man believed the word which Jesus had spoken, and went his way.51 As he was returning, his servants met him, and informed him that his son was well.52 He then inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They answered, Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.53 Then the father knew, that it was the same hour in which Jesus said to him, Your son is well; and he, and all his family, believed.54 This second miracle Jesus performed, after returning from Judea to Galilee.
