John 4:26-54
26JesusG2424 saidG3004 to her, “1I who speakG2980 to you amG1510 He.”
27At thisG3778 pointG1909 His 2disciplesG3101 cameG2064, and they were amazedG2296 that He had been speakingG2980 with a womanG1135, yetG3305 noG3762 oneG3762 saidG3004, “WhatG5101 do You seekG2212?” orG2228, “WhyG5101 do You speakG2980 with her?” 28SoG3767 the womanG1135 leftG863 her waterpotG5201, and wentG565 into the cityG4172 and saidG3004 to the menG444, 29“ComeG1205, seeG3708 a manG444 3whoG3739 toldG3004 me allG3956 the thingsG3956 that I have doneG4160; 4thisG3778 is not 5the ChristG5547, is it?” 30They wentG1831 out of the cityG4172, and were comingG2064 to Him.
31MeanwhileG3342 the disciplesG3101 were urgingG2065 Him, sayingG3004, “6RabbiG4461, eatG2068.” 32But He saidG3004 to them, “I haveG2192 foodG1035 to eatG2068 that you do not knowG3609 aboutG3609.” 33SoG3767 the 7disciplesG3101 were sayingG3004 to oneG240 anotherG240, “NoG3361 oneG5100 broughtG5342 Him anything to eatG2068, did he?” 34JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them, “My foodG1033 is to 8doG4160 the willG2307 of Him who sentG3992 Me and to 9accomplishG5048 His workG2041. 35Do you not sayG3004, ‘There are yetG2089 fourG5072 monthsG5072, and then comesG2064 the harvestG2326’? BeholdG2400, I sayG3004 to you, liftG1869 up your eyesG3788 and lookG2300 on the fieldsG5561, that they are whiteG3022 10for harvestG2326. 36AlreadyG2235 he who reapsG2325 is receivingG2983 11wagesG3408 and is gatheringG4863 12fruitG2590 for 13lifeG2222 eternalG166; soG2443 that he who sowsG4687 and he who reapsG2325 may rejoiceG5463 togetherG3674. 37For in thisG3778 case the sayingG3056 is trueG228, ‘14OneG243 sowsG4687 and anotherG243 reapsG2325.’ 38I sentG649 you to reapG2325 that for whichG3739 you have not laboredG2872; othersG243 have laboredG2872 and you have enteredG1525 into their laborG2873.”
39From 15that cityG4172 manyG4183 of the SamaritansG4541 believedG4100 in Him becauseG1223 of the wordG3056 of the womanG1135 who testifiedG3140, “16He toldG3004 me allG3956 the thingsG3956 that I have doneG4160.” 40SoG3767 whenG5613 the SamaritansG4541 cameG2064 to Jesus, they were askingG2065 Him to stayG3306 with them; and He stayedG3306 thereG1563 twoG1417 daysG2250. 41ManyG4183 moreG4183 believedG4100 becauseG1223 of His wordG3056; 42and they were sayingG3004 to the womanG1135, “It is noG3765 longerG3765 becauseG1223 of what you saidG2981 that we believeG4100, for we have heardG191 for ourselvesG846 and knowG3609 that thisG3778 OneG3778 is indeedG230 17the SaviorG4990 of the worldG2889.”
43AfterG3326 18the twoG1417 daysG2250 He wentG1831 forthG1831 from thereG1564 into GalileeG1056. 44For JesusG2424 HimselfG846 testifiedG3140 that 19a prophetG4396 hasG2192 noG3756 honorG5092 in his ownG2398 countryG3968. 45SoG3767 whenG3753 He cameG2064 to GalileeG1056, the GalileansG1057 receivedG1209 Him, 20having seenG3708 allG3956 the thingsG3956 that He didG4160 in JerusalemG2414 at the feastG1859; for they themselvesG846 alsoG2532 wentG2064 to the feastG1859.
46ThereforeG3767 He cameG2064 againG3825 to 21CanaG2580 of GalileeG1056 22whereG3699 He had madeG4160 the waterG5204 wineG3631. And there was a royalG937 officialG937 whoseG3739 sonG5207 was sickG770 at 23CapernaumG2746. 47When he heardG191 that JesusG2424 hadG2240 comeG2240 24out of JudeaG2453 into GalileeG1056, he wentG565 to Him and was imploringG2065 Him to comeG2597 downG2597 and healG2390 his sonG5207; for he was at the pointG3195 of deathG599. 48SoG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “UnlessG1437G3361 you people seeG3708 2526signsG4592 and 27wondersG5059, you simply will not believeG4100.” 49The royalG937 officialG937 saidG3004 to Him, “28SirG2962, comeG2597 downG2597 beforeG4250 my childG3813 diesG599.” 50JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “29GoG4198; your sonG5207 livesG2198.” The manG444 believedG4100 the wordG3056 that JesusG2424 spokeG3004 to him and startedG4198 off. 51As he was nowG2235 goingG2597 downG2597, his slavesG1401 metG5221 him, sayingG3004 that his 30sonG3816 was livingG2198. 52SoG3767 he inquiredG4441 of them the hourG5610 whenG1722G3739 he began to getG2192 betterG2866. ThenG3767 they saidG3004 to him, “YesterdayG2189 at the 31seventhG1442 hourG5610 the feverG4446 leftG863 him.” 53SoG3767 the fatherG3962 knewG1097 that it was at that hourG5610 in whichG3739 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “Your sonG5207 livesG2198”; and he himselfG846 believedG4100 and 32his wholeG3650 householdG3614. 54ThisG3778 is againG3825 a 33secondG1208 34signG4592 that JesusG2424 performedG4160 when He had 35comeG2064 out of JudeaG2453 into GalileeG1056.
