John 4

1WhenG5613 thereforeG3767 the LordG3588G2962 knewG1097 howG3754 the PhariseesG3588G5330 had heardG191 thatG3754 JesusG2424 madeG4160 andG2532 baptizedG907 moreG4119 disciplesG3101 thanG2228 JohnG2491, 2(ThoughG2544 JesusG2424 himselfG846 baptizedG907 notG3756, butG235 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101,) 3He leftG863 JudæaG3588G2449, andG2532 departedG565 againG3825 intoG1519 GalileeG3588G1056. 4AndG1161 heG846 must needsG1163 goG1330 throughG1223 SamariaG3588G4540. 5ThenG3767 cometh heG2064 toG1519 a cityG4172 of SamariaG3588G4540, which is calledG3004 SycharG4965, nearG4139 to the parcel of groundG3588G5564 thatG3739 JacobG2384 gaveG1325 toG3588G5207 hisG846 sonG3588G5207 JosephG2501. 6NowG1161 Jacob’sG2384 wellG4077 wasG1510 thereG1563. JesusG2424 thereforeG3767, being weariedG2872 withG1537 his journeyG3588G3597, satG2516 thusG3779 onG1909 the wellG3588G4077: and it wasG1510 aboutG5616 theG5610 sixthG1623 hourG5610. 7There comethG2064 a womanG1135 ofG1537 SamariaG3588G4540 to drawG501 waterG5204: JesusG3588G2424 saithG3004 unto herG846, GiveG1325 meG1473 to drinkG4095. 8(ForG1063 hisG846 disciplesG3101 were gone awayG565 untoG1519 the cityG3588G4172 toG2443 buyG59 meatG5160.) 9ThenG3767 saithG3004 the womanG3588G1135 of SamariaG3588G4542 unto himG846, How is it thatG4459 thouG4771, beingG1510 a JewG2453, askestG154 drinkG4095 ofG3844 meG1473, which amG1510 a womanG1135 of SamariaG4542? forG1063 the JewsG2453 haveG4798 noG3756 dealingsG4798 with the SamaritansG4541. 10JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG3004 unto herG846, IfG1487 thou knewestG1492 the giftG3588G1431 of GodG3588G2316, andG2532 whoG5101 it isG1510 that saithG3004 to theeG4771, GiveG1325 meG1473 to drinkG4095; thouG4771 wouldest have askedG154 of himG846, andG2532 he would have givenG1325 theeG4771 livingG2198 waterG5204. 11The womanG3588G1135 saithG3004 unto himG846, SirG2962, thou hastG2192 nothingG3777 to draw withG502, andG2532 the wellG3588G5421 isG1510 deepG901: from whenceG4159 thenG3767 hast thouG2192 thatG3588G5204 livingG2198 waterG3588G5204? 12ArtG1510 thouG4771 greater thanG3173 ourG1473 fatherG3588G3962 JacobG2384, whichG3739 gaveG1325 usG1473 the wellG3588G5421, andG2532 drankG4095 thereofG846 himselfG846, andG2532 hisG846 childrenG3588G5207, andG2532 hisG846 cattleG3588G2353? 13JesusG3588G2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG3004 unto herG846, WhosoeverG3956 drinkethG4095 ofG1537 thisG3778 waterG3588G5204 shall thirstG1372 againG3825: 14ButG1161 whosoeverG3739G302 drinkethG4095 ofG1537 the waterG3588G5204 thatG3739 IG1473 shall giveG1325 himG846 shallG1372 neverG3756G3361 thirstG1372; butG235 the waterG3588G5204 thatG3739 I shall giveG1325 himG846 shall beG1096 inG1722 himG846 a wellG4077 of waterG5204 springing upG242 intoG1519 everlastingG166 lifeG2222. 15The womanG3588G1135 saithG3004 untoG4314 himG846, SirG2962, giveG1325 meG1473 thisG3778 waterG3588G5204, thatG2443 I thirstG1372 notG3361, neitherG3366 comeG2064 hitherG1759 to drawG501. 16JesusG3588G2424 saithG3004 unto herG846, GoG5217, callG5455 thyG4771 husbandG3588G435, andG2532 comeG2064 hitherG1759. 17The womanG3588G1135 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG3004, I haveG2192 noG3756 husbandG435. JesusG3588G2424 saidG3004 unto herG846, Thou hastG3004 wellG2573 saidG3004, I haveG2192 noG3756 husbandG435: 18ForG1063 thou hast hadG2192 fiveG4002 husbandsG435; andG2532 he whomG3739 thouG2192 nowG3568 hastG2192 isG1510 notG3756 thyG4771 husbandG435: in thatG3778 saidst thouG2046 trulyG227. 19The womanG3588G1135 saithG3004 unto himG846, SirG2962, I perceiveG2334 thatG3754 thouG4771 artG1510 a prophetG4396. 20OurG1473 fathersG3588G3962 worshippedG4352 inG1722 thisG3778 mountainG3588G3735; andG2532 yeG4771 sayG3004, thatG3754 inG1722 JerusalemG2414 isG1510 the placeG3588G5117 whereG3699 men oughtG1163 to worshipG4352. 21JesusG3588G2424 saithG3004 unto herG846, WomanG1135, believeG4100 meG1473, the hourG5610 comethG2064, whenG3753 ye shallG4352 neitherG3777 inG1722 thisG3778 mountainG3588G3735, nor yetG3777 atG1722 JerusalemG2414, worshipG4352 the FatherG3588G3962. 22YeG4771 worshipG4352 ye knowG1492 notG3756 whatG3739: weG1473 knowG1492 whatG3739 we worshipG4352: forG3754 salvationG3588G4991 isG1510 ofG1537 the JewsG2453. 23ButG235 the hourG5610 comethG2064, andG2532 nowG3568 isG1510, whenG3753 theG4353 trueG228 worshippersG4353 shall worshipG4352 the FatherG3588G3962 inG1722 spiritG4151 andG2532 in truthG225: forG1063 the FatherG3588G3962 seekethG2212 suchG5108 to worshipG4352 himG846. 24GodG3588G2316 is a SpiritG4151: andG2532 they that worshipG4352 himG846 mustG1163 worshipG4352 him inG1722 spiritG4151 andG2532 in truthG225. 25The womanG3588G1135 saithG3004 unto himG846, I knowG1492 thatG3754 MessiahG3323 comethG2064, which is calledG3004 ChristG5547: whenG3752 heG1565 is comeG2064, he will tellG312 usG1473 all thingsG3956. 26JesusG3588G2424 saithG3004 unto herG846, IG1473 that speakG2980 unto theeG4771 amG1510 he.

27AndG2532 uponG1909 thisG3778 cameG2064 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101, andG2532 marvelledG2296 thatG3754 he talkedG2980 withG3326 the womanG1135: yetG3305 no manG3762 saidG3004, WhatG5101 seekest thouG2212? orG2228, WhyG5101 talkest thouG2980 withG3326 herG846? 28The womanG3588G1135 thenG3767 leftG863 herG846 waterpotG3588G5201, andG2532 went her wayG565 intoG1519 the cityG3588G4172, andG2532 saithG3004 to the menG3588G444, 29ComeG1205, seeG3708 a manG444, whichG3739 toldG3004 meG1473 all thingsG3956 that everG3745 I didG4160: isG1510 notG3385 thisG3778 the ChristG3588G5547? 30ThenG3767 they went outG1831 ofG1537 the cityG3588G4172, andG2532 cameG2064 untoG4314 himG846. 31

InG1722 the mean whileG3342 his disciplesG3588G3101 prayedG2065 himG846, sayingG3004, MasterG4461, eatG5315. 32ButG1161 he saidG3004 unto themG846, IG1473 haveG2192 meatG1035 to eatG5315 thatG3739 yeG4771 knowG1492 notG3756 of. 33ThereforeG3767 saidG3004 the disciplesG3588G3101 oneG240 toG4314 anotherG240, HathG5342 any manG5100 broughtG5342 himG846 ought to eatG5315? 34JesusG3588G2424 saithG3004 unto themG846, MyG1699 meatG1033 isG1510 toG2443 doG4160 the willG3588G2307 of him that sentG3992 meG1473, andG2532 to finishG5048 hisG846 workG3588G2041. 35SayG3004 notG3756 yeG4771, There areG1510 yetG2089 four monthsG5072, andG2532 then comethG2064 harvestG3588G2326? beholdG3708, I sayG3004 unto youG4771, Lift upG1869 yourG4771 eyesG3588G3788, andG2532 look onG2300 the fieldsG3588G5561; forG3754 they areG1510 whiteG3022 alreadyG2235 toG4314 harvestG2326. 36AndG2532 he that reapethG2325 receivethG2983 wagesG3408, andG2532 gatherethG4863 fruitG2590 untoG1519 lifeG2222 eternalG166: thatG2443 bothG2532 he that sowethG4687 andG2532 he that reapethG2325 may rejoiceG5463 togetherG3674. 37AndG1063 hereinG1722 isG1510 thatG3778 sayingG3588G3056 trueG3588G228, OneG243 sowethG1510G3588G4687, andG2532 anotherG243 reapethG3588G2325. 38IG1473 sentG649 youG4771 to reapG2325 that whereonG3739 yeG4771 bestowedG2872 noG3756 labourG2872: other menG243 labouredG2872, andG2532 yeG4771 are enteredG1525 intoG1519 theirG846 laboursG3588G2873.

39AndG1161 manyG4183 ofG1537 the SamaritansG3588G4541 of thatG1565 cityG3588G4172 believedG4100 onG1519 himG846 forG1223 the sayingG3588G3056 of the womanG3588G1135, which testifiedG3140, He toldG3004 meG1473 allG3956 that everG3745 I didG4160. 40SoG3767 whenG5613 the SamaritansG3588G4541 were comeG2064 untoG4314 himG846, they besoughtG2065 himG846 that he would tarryG3306 withG3844 themG846: andG2532 he abodeG3306 thereG1563 twoG1417 daysG2250. 41AndG2532 manyG4183 moreG4119 believedG4100 becauseG1223 ofG3588G3056 his ownG846 wordG3588G3056; 42AndG5037 saidG3004 unto the womanG1135, NowG3765 we believeG4100, notG3765 becauseG1223 ofG2981 thyG4674 sayingG2981: forG1063 we have heardG191 him ourselvesG846, andG2532 knowG1492 thatG3754 thisG3778 isG1510 indeedG230 the ChristG3588G5547, the SaviourG3588G4990 of the worldG3588G2889. 43

NowG1161 afterG3326 twoG1417 daysG2250 he departedG1831 thenceG1564, andG2532 wentG565 intoG1519 GalileeG3588G1056. 44ForG1063 JesusG3588G2424 himselfG846 testifiedG3140, thatG3754 a prophetG4396 hathG2192 noG3756 honourG5092 inG1722 his ownG2398 countryG3968. 45ThenG3767 whenG3753 he was comeG2064 intoG1519 GalileeG3588G1056, the GalilæansG3588G1057 receivedG1209 himG846, having seenG3708 all the thingsG3956 thatG3739 he didG4160 atG1722 JerusalemG2414 atG1722 the feastG3588G1859: forG1063 theyG846 alsoG2532 wentG2064 untoG1519 the feastG3588G1859. 46SoG3767 JesusG3588G2424 cameG2064 againG3825 intoG1519 CanaG2580 of GalileeG3588G1056, whereG3699 he madeG4160 the waterG3588G5204 wineG3631. AndG2532 there wasG1510 a certainG5100 noblemanG937, whoseG3739 sonG3588G5207 was sickG770 atG1722 CapernaumG2584. 47WhenG191 heG3778 heardG191 thatG3754 JesusG2424 was comeG2240 out ofG1537 JudæaG3588G2449 intoG1519 GalileeG3588G1056, he wentG565 untoG4314 himG846, andG2532 besoughtG2065 himG846 thatG2443 he would come downG2597, andG2532 healG2390 hisG846 sonG3588G5207: forG1063 he was at the point ofG3195 deathG599. 48ThenG3767 saidG3004 JesusG3588G2424 untoG4314 himG846, ExceptG3361 ye seeG3708 signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059, ye willG4100 notG3361 believeG4100. 49The noblemanG937 saithG3004 untoG4314 himG846, SirG2962, come downG2597 ereG4250 myG1473 childG3588G3813 dieG599. 50JesusG3588G2424 saithG3004 unto himG846, Go thy wayG4198; thyG4771 sonG3588G5207 livethG2198. AndG2532 the manG3588G444 believedG4100 the wordG3588G3056 thatG3739 JesusG2424 had spokenG3004 unto himG846, andG2532 he went his wayG4198. 51AndG1161 asG2235 heG846 wasG2597 nowG2235 going downG2597, hisG846 servantsG3588G1401 metG528 himG846, andG2532 toldG518 him, sayingG3004, ThyG4771 sonG3588G3816 livethG2198. 52ThenG3767 enquired heG4441 ofG3844 themG846 the hourG3588G5610 whenG1722 he beganG2192 to amendG2866. AndG2532 they saidG3004 unto himG846, YesterdayG5504 at theG5610 seventhG1442 hourG5610 the feverG3588G4446 leftG863 himG846. 53SoG3767 the fatherG3588G3962 knewG1097 thatG3754 it was atG1722 the sameG1565 hourG3588G5610, inG1722 the whichG3739 JesusG3588G2424 saidG3004 unto himG846, ThyG4771 sonG3588G5207 livethG2198: andG2532 himselfG846 believedG4100, andG2532 hisG846 wholeG3650 houseG3588G3614. 54ThisG3778 is againG3825 theG4592 secondG1208 miracleG4592 that JesusG3588G2424 didG4160, when he was comeG2064 out ofG1537 JudæaG3588G2449 intoG1519 GalileeG3588G1056.
