John 4:26-54

26Jesus said to her, “1I who speak to you am He.”

27At this point His 2disciples came, and they were amazed that He had been speaking with a woman, yet no one said, “What do You seek?” or, “Why do You speak with her?” 28So the woman left her waterpot, and went into the city and said to the men, 29“Come, see a man 3who told me all the things that I have done; 4this is not 5the Christ, is it?” 30They went out of the city, and were coming to Him.

31Meanwhile the disciples were urging Him, saying, “6Rabbi, eat.” 32But He said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.” 33So the 7disciples were saying to one another, “No one brought Him anything to eat, did he?” 34Jesus said to them, “My food is to 8do the will of Him who sent Me and to 9accomplish His work. 35Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white 10for harvest. 36Already he who reaps is receiving 11wages and is gathering 12fruit for 13life eternal; so that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37For in this case the saying is true, ‘14One sows and another reaps.’ 38I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored and you have entered into their labor.”

39From 15that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, “16He told me all the things that I have done.” 40So when the Samaritans came to Jesus, they were asking Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. 41Many more believed because of His word; 42and they were saying to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this One is indeed 17the Savior of the world.”

43After 18the two days He went forth from there into Galilee. 44For Jesus Himself testified that 19a prophet has no honor in his own country. 45So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, 20having seen all the things that He did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they themselves also went to the feast.

46Therefore He came again to 21Cana of Galilee 22where He had made the water wine. And there was a royal official whose son was sick at 23Capernaum. 47When he heard that Jesus had come 24out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and was imploring Him to come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death. 48So Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see 2526signs and 27wonders, you simply will not believe.” 49The royal official said to Him, “28Sir, come down before my child dies.” 50Jesus said to him, “29Go; your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and started off. 51As he was now going down, his slaves met him, saying that his 30son was living. 52So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. Then they said to him, “Yesterday at the 31seventh hour the fever left him.” 53So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives”; and he himself believed and 32his whole household. 54This is again a 33second 34sign that Jesus performed when He had 35come out of Judea into Galilee.
