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.)
But the Samaritan saith unto Him, How is it that thou who art a Jew askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan? for the Jews have no friendly intercourse with the Samaritans.
10 Jesus 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.”
Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith unto thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldst have asked of Him, and He would have given thee 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?
The woman saith unto Him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou the 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?”
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water, will thirst again;
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.”
The woman saith unto Him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
Jesus saith unto her, Go call thine husband, and come hither.
17 The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’
The woman answered, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou hast said right, 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.”
for thou hast had five husbands; and he, whom thou now hast, is not thy husband: this thou hast said true.
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
The woman saith unto Him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”
Our fathers worshipped on this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the time is coming, when ye shall worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
Ye worship ye know not what; but we worship what 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.
But the time is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for the Father requireth such worshippers of Him.

God is a spirit, and they that worship Him, must worship in spirit and truth.
25 The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”
Then saith the woman unto Him, I know that the Messiah, that is to say the Christ, is coming; and when He comes, He will tell us all things.
26 Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”
Jesus saith unto her, I, who am talking to thee, am He.
27 Just then, 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?”
And upon this came his disciples and wondered that He talked with the woman: (though none of them said, What dost thou seek? or, Why dost thou talk with her?)
28 So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,
therefore the woman left her water-pot, and went away into the city,
29 “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?”
and saith to the people, Come, see a man who hath told me all that ever I did; is not this the Christ?
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
They therefore went out of the city, and came to Him.

In the mean time his disciples addressed Him, saying, Master, eat.
32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
But He said unto them, I have food to eat, which ye know not of.
33 The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”
Therefore the disciples said one to another, Hath any one brought Him aught to eat?
34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.
Jesus saith unto them, My food is to do the will of Him that sent me, and to finish his work.

36 He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth the fruit together unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together; (aiōnios g166)
37 For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’
for herein the saying is verified, that one soweth, and another reapeth,
38 I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
in as much as I have sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured: others have laboured, and ye are entered into their labors.
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 have done.”
And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on Him, because of what the woman said, testifying, He told me all that ever I did.
40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.

and said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of what thou hast spoken; for we ourselves have heard Him, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
43 After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.

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.
And when He was come into Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went to the feast.
46 Jesus 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.
Therefore Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where He had made the water wine.
47 When he heard that Jesus 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.
And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum: who, when he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, went to Him, and intreated Him, that he would come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.
48 Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”
Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders ye will not believe.
49 The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
The nobleman saith unto Him, Lord, come down before my child die.
50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
Jesus saith unto him, Go, thy son is well. And the man believed what Jesus said unto him, and went his way.
51 As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”
And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, Thy son is well.
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.”
He inquired therefore of them the hour in which he grew better: and they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” He believed, as did his whole house.
So the father knew that it was in that same hour, in which Jesus said to him, Thy son is well. And he and his whole family believed.

This is the second miracle that Jesus wrought, upon coming out of Judea into Galilee.
