Conversion of the Samaritan woman. Recovery of the son of the royal.

When therefore the LORD knew that the Pharisees were come before, how that Jesus made and baptized disciples more than John

(although JEsus himself did not baptize, but his disciples),

He left the land of Judea and went back to Galilee.

But he had to pass through Samaria.

And he came to a city of Samaria, which is called Shechar, near unto the little village which Jacob gave to Joseph his son.

And there was Jacob’s well. And when Jesus was weary with his journey, he sat down upon the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

Then cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

For his disciples had gone into the city to buy meat.

Then saith the Samaritan woman unto him, How askest thou of me to drink, seeing thou art a Jew, and I a Samaritan woman? (For the Jews have no fellowship with the Samaritans.) 10. And JESUS answering said unto her, If thou knowest the gift of GOD, and who he is that saith unto thee, Give me to drink, ask of him, and he will give thee living water.

The woman saith unto him, Lord, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou living water?

Art thou more than our father Jacob, which gave us this well, and he drank thereof, and his children, and his cattle?

And 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 become in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

The woman saith unto him, Lord, give me the same water, that I thirst not, that I come not to draw.

And JEsus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

And the woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou hast said rightly, I have no husband.

Five husbands thou hast had, and he whom thou hast now is not thy husband. You said it right.

And the woman saith unto him, Lord, I see that thou art a prophet.

Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the time cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.

Ye know not what ye worship: but we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

But the time cometh, and is now, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father will have them also that worship him so.

God is a spirit, and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.

And the woman saith unto him, I know that the Messiah cometh, which is called Christ.
When he cometh, he shall tell us all things.

Jesus saith unto her: I am he that speaketh unto thee.

And upon him came his disciples, and they marvelled that he spake unto the woman? But no man said, What askest thou? or, What speakest thou unto her?

And the woman left her pitcher, and went into the city, and spake unto the people: 29. Come, behold a man, which hath told me all things that I have done, whether he be not Christ.

And they went out of the city, and came unto him.

And meanwhile the disciples exhorted him, saying: Rabbi, eat!

But he said to them: I have food to eat, but you do not know it.

Then said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him meat?

Jesus saith unto them: My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

Say ye not yourselves, There are yet four months, and the harvest shall come? Behold, I say unto you: Lift up your eyes, and look into the field: for it is white already for harvest; 36. And he that reapeth receiveth reward, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

For here is the saying true, This man soweth, and that man reapeth.

I have sent you to cut that which ye have not wrought: others have wrought, and ye are come into their work.

And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him because of the woman’s words, which testified, saying, He hath told me all that I have done.

And when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to tarry with them. And he abode there two days.

And many more believed because of his word.

And they said unto the woman: We believe not henceforth because of thy saying: for we have heard and known that this is truly Christ, the Saviour of the world.

And after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.

For he himself, JESUS, bare witness that a prophet is of no account at home.

And when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, which had seen all that he did in Jerusalem at the feast. For they also were come to the feast.

And JEsus came again to Cana of Galilee, having made the water wine.

And there was a certain king whose son was sick at Capernaum. And when he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea of Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down and heal his son: for he was sick unto death.

And JESUS said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

And the king said unto him, Lord, come down before my child dieth.

And JEsus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that JEsus spake unto him, and went.

And as he went down, his servants met him, and told him, saying: Thy child liveth.

And he inquired of them the hour when he was better. And they said unto him, Yesterday about the seventh hour. The fever left him.

And the father perceived that it was about the hour in the which Jesus had said unto him, Thy son liveth. And he believed with all his house.

Now this is the other sign which JEsus did, when he came out of Judaea into Galilee].
(John)
Chapter 5
Christ’s protective speech about His miraculous work on the man who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

After this there was a feast of the Jews, and JEsus went up to Jerusalem.

Now there is a pool in Jerusalem by the sheepcote, which is called Bethesda in the Ezraic language, and hath five halls,

in which lay many sick, blind, lame, arid; who waited when the waters moved.

For an angel came down at his season into the pool, and troubled the waters. And he that went in first, after the water was moved, was healed of every disease that was in him.

And there was a man there that was sick thirty and eight years.

And when JE saw him lying, and perceived that he had lain so long, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be healed?

And the sick man said unto him, Lord, I have no man, when the waters are moved, to let me into the pool: and when I come, another shall go in before me.

And JEsus saith unto him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.

And immediately the man was healed, and took up his bed, and went his way. And it was the sabbath day the same day.

Then said the Jews unto him that was healed: It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to bear the bed.

And he answered them: He that made me whole said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

And they said unto him, Who is this man that said unto thee? Take up thy bed, and go thy way?

And he that was healed knew not who he was: for Jesus was departed, because there was so much people in the place.

And afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing befall thee.

And the man went and told the Jews, saying, It is JEsus which hath made him whole.

Therefore the Jews persecuted JEsum, and sought to kill him, because he had done this thing on the sabbath day.

And Jesus answered them: My Father worketh hitherto, and I also work.

Therefore the Jews sought after him much more to kill him, that he should not only break the sabbath, but also say that GOD was his father, and make himself equal with GOD.

Then answered JEsus, and said unto them: Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son.

But the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that he doeth, and will shew him greater works, that ye may marvel.

For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them: so also the Son quickeneth whom he will.

For the Father judgeth no man, but hath given all judgment unto the Son, 23. That they all may honor the Son, as they honor the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which sent him.

Verily, verily, I say unto you: He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now
