John 4
Revised Version 1895
1WhenG5613 thereforeG3767 theG3588 Lord knewG1097 howG5613 thatG3754 theG3588 PhariseesG5330 had heardG191 thatG3754 JesusG2424 was makingG4160 andG2532 baptizingG907 moreG4183 disciplesG3101 thanG2228 JohnG2491 2(althoughG2544 JesusG2424 himselfG846 baptizedG907 notG3756, butG235 hisG846 disciplesG3101), 3heG2532 leftG863 Judaea, andG2532 departedG565 againG3825 intoG1519 GalileeG1056. 4AndG1161 heG846 must needs passG1330 throughG1223 SamariaG4540. 5SoG3767 heG846 cometh toG1519 a cityG4172 ofG5207 SamariaG4540, calledG3004 SycharG4965, nearG4139 toG1519 theG3588 parcelG5564 ofG5207 groundG5564 thatG3739 JacobG2384 gaveG1325 toG1519 hisG846 sonG5207 JosephG2501: 6andG1161 Jacob’sG2384 wellG4077 wasG1510 thereG1563. JesusG2424 thereforeG3767, beingG1510 weariedG2872 withG1537 hisG1909 journeyG3597, satG2516 thusG3767 byG1537 theG3588 wellG4077. ItG1161 wasG1510 aboutG5613 theG3588 sixthG1623 hourG5610. 7There cometh a womanG1135 ofG1537 SamariaG4540 toG3004 drawG501 waterG5204: JesusG2424 saith unto herG846, GiveG1325 meG1325 toG3004 drinkG4095. 8ForG1063 hisG846 disciplesG3101 were goneG565 awayG565 intoG1519 theG3588 cityG4172 toG1519 buyG59 foodG5160. 9TheG3588 SamaritanG4542 womanG1135 thereforeG3767 saith unto himG846, HowG4459 isG1510 itG846 thatG3004 thou, beingG1510 aG1510 JewG2453, askest drinkG4095 ofG3004 meG3004, whichG3588 amG1510 aG1510 SamaritanG4542 womanG1135? (ForG1063 JewsG2453 haveG1510 no dealingsG4798 withG3844 Samaritans.) 10JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG3004 unto herG846, IfG1487 thou knewest theG3588 giftG1431 ofG2316 GodG2316, andG2532 whoG3588 itG846 isG1510 thatG3004 saith toG3004 thee, GiveG1325 meG1325 toG3004 drinkG4095; thou wouldest haveG1510 askedG154 ofG2316 himG846, andG2532 heG2532 wouldG302 haveG1510 givenG1325 thee livingG2198 waterG5204. 11TheG3588 womanG1135 saith unto himG846, SirG2962, thou hast nothingG3777 toG3004 drawG502 withG2532, andG2532 theG3588 wellG2532 isG1510 deepG901: fromG2532 whence thenG2532 hast thou thatG3004 livingG2198 waterG5204? 12Art thou greaterG3173 thanG3173 ourG2532 fatherG3962 JacobG2384, whichG3739 gaveG1325 usG1325 theG3588 wellG2532, andG2532 drankG4095 thereof himselfG846, andG2532 hisG846 sonsG5207, andG2532 hisG846 cattleG2353? 13JesusG2424 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG3004 unto herG846, EveryG3956 oneG3778 thatG3004 drinketh ofG1537 thisG3778 waterG5204 shallG3778 thirstG1372 againG3825: 14butG1161 whosoever drinketh ofG1537 theG3588 waterG5204 thatG3739 IG1473 shall giveG1325 himG846 shall neverG3756 thirstG1372; butG1161 theG3588 waterG5204 thatG3739 IG1473 shall giveG1325 himG846 shall becomeG1096 inG1722 himG846 a wellG4077 ofG1537 waterG5204 springingG242 upG1519 unto eternalG166 lifeG2222. 15TheG3588 womanG1135 saith unto himG846, SirG2962, giveG1325 meG1325 thisG3778 waterG5204, thatG2443 IG1473 thirstG1372 notG3361, neitherG3366 comeG1330 allG3588 theG3588 wayG1330 hither toG4314 drawG501. 16JesusG846 saith unto herG846, GoG5217, callG3004 thy husbandG435, andG2532 comeG2064 hither. 17TheG3588 womanG1135 answeredG611 andG2532 saidG3004 unto himG846, IG2532 have noG3756 husbandG435. JesusG2424 saith unto herG846, Thou saidst wellG2573, IG2532 have noG3756 husbandG435: 18forG1063 thou hast had fiveG4002 husbandsG435; andG2532 heG2532 whomG3739 thou nowG3568 hast isG1510 notG3756 thy husbandG435: thisG3778 hast thou saidG3004 trulyG227. 19TheG3588 womanG1135 saith unto himG846, SirG2962, IG3754 perceiveG2334 thatG3754 thou art aG1510 prophetG4396. 20OurG2532 fathersG3962 worshipped inG1722 thisG3778 mountainG3735; andG2532 ye sayG3004, thatG3754 inG1722 JerusalemG2414 isG1510 theG3588 placeG5117 whereG3699 menG3778 oughtG1163 toG3004 worshipG4352. 21JesusG2424 saith unto herG846, WomanG1135, believeG4100 meG3004, theG3588 hourG5610 cometh, whenG3753 neitherG3777 inG1722 thisG3778 mountainG3735, norG3777 inG1722 JerusalemG2414, shallG3778 ye worshipG4352 theG3588 FatherG3962. 22Ye worshipG4352 thatG3754 whichG3739 ye knowG1492 notG3756: weG2249 worshipG4352 thatG3754 whichG3739 weG2249 knowG1492: forG3754 salvationG4991 isG1510 fromG1537 theG3588 JewsG2453. 23ButG235 theG3588 hourG5610 cometh, andG2532 nowG3568 isG1510, whenG3753 theG3588 trueG228 worshippers shallG2532 worshipG4352 theG3588 FatherG3962 inG1722 spiritG4151 andG2532 truthG225: forG1063 suchG5108 doth theG3588 FatherG3962 seekG2212 toG2064 beG1510 hisG846 worshippers. 24GodG2316 is a SpiritG4151: andG2532 theyG846 thatG846 worshipG4352 himG846 must worshipG4352 inG1722 spiritG4151 andG2532 truthG225. 25TheG3588 womanG1135 saith unto himG846, IG1473 knowG1492 thatG3754 MessiahG5547 cometh (whichG3748 is calledG3004 ChristG5547): whenG3752 heG846 is comeG2064, heG846 willG3748 declareG312 unto usG3004 allG537 thingsG846. 26JesusG2424 saith unto herG846, IG1473 thatG3004 speakG2980 unto thee amG1510 heG846. 27AndG2532 uponG1909 thisG3778 cameG2064 hisG846 disciplesG3101; andG2532 theyG846 marveledG2296 thatG3754 heG2532 was speakingG2980 withG3326 a womanG1135; yetG2532 noG3762 manG3778 saidG3004, WhatG5101 seekest thou? orG2228, WhyG5101 speakest thou withG3326 herG846? 28SoG3767 theG3588 womanG1135 leftG863 herG846 waterpotG5201, andG2532 wentG565 awayG565 intoG1519 theG3588 cityG4172, andG2532 saith toG1519 theG3588 menG444, 29ComeG1205, seeG3708 aG1510 manG444, whichG3739 toldG3004 meG3004 allG3956 thingsG3778 thatG3739 ever IG1473 didG4160: canG3004 thisG3778 beG1510 theG3956 ChristG5547? 30TheyG846 wentG1831 outG1831 ofG1537 theG3588 cityG4172, andG2532 were comingG2064 toG4314 himG846. 31InG1722 theG3588 meanG3004 whileG1722 theG3588 disciplesG3101 prayed himG846, sayingG3004, RabbiG4461, eatG2068. 32ButG1161 heG846 saidG3004 unto themG846, IG1473 have meatG3588 toG3004 eatG2068 thatG3739 ye knowG1492 notG3756. 33TheG3588 disciplesG3101 thereforeG3767 saidG3004 oneG240 toG4314 anotherG240, Hath anyG5100 manG5100 broughtG5342 himG846 aught toG4314 eatG2068? 34JesusG2424 saith unto themG846, MyG1699 meatG3588 isG1510 toG2443 doG4160 theG3588 willG2307 ofG2041 himG846 thatG2443 sentG3992 meG3004, andG2532 toG2443 accomplishG5048 hisG846 workG2041. 35SayG3004 notG3756 ye, ThereG1510 areG1510 yetG2532 fourG5072 monthsG5072, andG2532 thenG2532 cometh theG3588 harvestG2326? beholdG2400, IG2532 sayG3004 unto youG5210, LiftG1869 upG1869 yourG3708 eyesG3788, andG2532 lookG2400 onG4314 theG3588 fieldsG5561, thatG3754 theyG2532 areG1510 whiteG3022 alreadyG2235 unto harvestG2326. 36HeG2532 thatG2443 reapeth receiveth wagesG3408, andG2532 gathereth fruitG2590 unto lifeG2222 eternalG166; thatG2443 heG2532 thatG2443 soweth andG2532 heG2532 thatG2443 reapeth mayG2532 rejoiceG5463 togetherG4863. 37ForG1063 herein isG1510 theG3588 sayingG3056 trueG228, OneG3778 soweth, andG2532 anotherG243 reapeth. 38IG1473 sentG649 youG5210 toG1519 reapG2325 thatG3739 whereon ye have notG3756 laboured: othersG243 have laboured, andG2532 ye are enteredG1525 intoG1519 theirG846 labour. 39AndG1161 fromG1537 thatG3754 cityG4172 manyG4183 ofG1537 theG3956 SamaritansG4541 believedG4100 onG1519 himG846 becauseG3754 ofG1537 theG3956 wordG3056 ofG1537 theG3956 womanG1135, whoG3739 testifiedG3140, HeG846 toldG3004 meG3004 allG3956 thingsG3956 thatG3754 ever IG1473 didG4160. 40SoG3767 whenG5613 theG3588 SamaritansG4541 cameG2064 unto himG846, theyG846 besought himG846 toG4314 abideG3306 withG4314 themG846: andG2532 heG2532 abode thereG1563 twoG1417 daysG2250. 41AndG2532 manyG4183 moreG4183 believedG4100 becauseG1223 ofG3056 hisG846 wordG3056; 42andG2532 theyG846 saidG3004 toG3004 theG3588 womanG1135, NowG2532 weG3778 believeG4100, notG1510 becauseG3754 ofG1223 thy speakingG3004: forG1063 weG3778 haveG1510 heardG191 forG1063 ourselvesG846, andG2532 knowG1492 thatG3754 thisG3778 isG1510 indeedG2532 theG3588 Saviour ofG1223 theG3588 worldG2889. 43AndG1161 afterG3326 theG3588 twoG1417 daysG2250 heG1161 wentG1831 forthG1831 fromG1831 thence intoG1519 GalileeG1056. 44ForG1063 JesusG2424 himselfG846 testifiedG3140, thatG3754 a prophetG4396 hath noG3756 honour inG1722 hisG846 ownG2398 countryG3968. 45SoG3767 whenG3753 heG2532 cameG2064 intoG1519 GalileeG1056, theG3956 Galilaeans receivedG1209 himG846, havingG4160 seenG3708 allG3956 theG3956 thingsG3956 thatG3739 heG2532 didG4160 inG1722 JerusalemG2414 at theG3956 feastG1859: forG1063 theyG846 alsoG2532 wentG2064 unto theG3956 feastG1859. 46HeG2532 cameG2064 thereforeG3767 againG3825 unto CanaG2580 ofG5207 GalileeG1056, whereG3699 heG2532 madeG4160 theG3588 waterG5204 wineG3631. AndG2532 thereG1510 wasG1510 aG1510 certain nobleman, whoseG3739 sonG5207 wasG1510 sickG770 at CapernaumG2584. 47WhenG2532 heG2532 heardG191 thatG3754 JesusG2424 was comeG2240 outG1537 ofG5207 Judaea intoG1519 GalileeG1056, heG2532 wentG565 unto himG846, andG2532 besought himG846 thatG3754 heG2532 wouldG3195 comeG2240 downG2597, andG2532 healG2390 hisG846 sonG5207; forG1063 heG2532 was at theG3588 pointG3195 ofG5207 deathG599. 48JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 saidG3004 unto himG846, ExceptG3361 ye seeG3708 signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059, ye willG2532 inG2532 noG3756 wise believeG4100. 49TheG3588 nobleman saith unto himG846, SirG2962, comeG2597 downG2597 ere myG3004 childG3813 dieG599. 50JesusG2424 saith unto himG846, GoG4198 thy wayG4198; thy sonG5207 liveth. TheG3588 manG444 believedG4100 theG3588 wordG3056 thatG3739 JesusG2424 spake unto himG846, andG2532 heG2532 wentG4198 hisG846 wayG4198. 51AndG2532 asG2532 heG2532 was nowG1161 goingG2597 downG2597, hisG846 servantsG1401 metG5221 himG846, sayingG3004, thatG3754 hisG846 sonG3816 livedG2198. 52SoG3767 heG846 inquiredG4441 ofG1722 themG846 theG3588 hourG5610 whenG1722 heG846 began toG3004 amend. TheyG846 saidG3004 thereforeG3767 unto himG846, YesterdayG5504 at theG3588 seventhG1442 hourG5610 theG3588 feverG4446 leftG863 himG846. 53SoG3767 theG3588 fatherG3962 knewG1097 thatG3754 itG846 was at thatG3754 hourG5610 inG1722 whichG3739 JesusG2424 saidG3004 unto himG846, Thy sonG5207 liveth: andG2532 himselfG846 believedG4100, andG2532 hisG846 wholeG3650 houseG3614. 54ThisG3778 is againG3825 theG3588 secondG1208 signG4592 thatG3778 JesusG2424 didG4160, havingG4160 comeG2064 outG1537 ofG1537 Judaea intoG1519 GalileeG1056.
