John 4:17–31

TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive 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 hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
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.
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
¶ 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?
The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
¶ In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.

    35With whom the Lord had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:

    36But the Lord, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice.

    37And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods.

    38And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods.

    39But the Lord your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.

    40Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.

    41So these nations feared the Lord, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children’s children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.

4:1WHEN therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

4:2(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

4:3He left Judæa, and departed again into Galilee.

4:4And he must needs go through Samaria.

4:5Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

4:6Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

4:7There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

4:8(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

4:9Then 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.

4:10Jesus 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.

4:11The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

4:12Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

4:13Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

4:14But 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.

4:15The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

4:16Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

4:17The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

Selected passage

4:21Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

Selected passage

4:22Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

Selected passage

4:23But 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.

Selected passage

4:24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

4:27¶ 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?

Selected passage

4:28The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,

Selected passage

4:29Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

Selected passage

4:30Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

Selected passage

4:31¶ In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.

Selected passage

4:32But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.

4:33Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?

4:34Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

4:35Say 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.

4:36And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

4:37And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

4:38I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
