John 4Jesus and the Woman of Samaria

1 learned that the Pharisees had heard, “Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John”

2(although it was not Jesus himself but his disciples who baptized),

3he left Judea and started back to Galilee.

4But he had to go through Samaria.

10 you have no bucket, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water?

12Are you greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us the well and with his sons and his flocks drank from it?”

13Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again,

14 give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water.”

16Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come back.”

17The woman answered him, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband,’

18for you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband. What you have said is true!”

19The woman said to him, “Sir, I see that you are a prophet.

20 say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem.”

21 will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

22 worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.

23 the one who is speaking to you.”

27Just then his disciples came. They were astonished that he was speaking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you want?” or, “Why are you speaking with her?”

28Then the woman left her water jar and went back to the city. She said to the people,

29 can he?”

30They left the city and were on their way to him.

31Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, “Rabbi, eat something.”

32But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.”

33So the disciples said to one another, “Surely no one has brought him something to eat?”

34 wages and is gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together.

37 see signs and wonders you will not believe.”

49The official said to him, “Sir, come down before my little boy dies.”

50Jesus said to him, “Go; your son will live.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and started on his way.

51As he was going down, his slaves met him and told him that his child was alive.

52So he asked them the hour when he began to recover, and they said to him, “Yesterday at one in the afternoon the fever left him.”

53 So he himself believed, along with his whole household.

54Jn 2.11Now this was the second sign that Jesus did after coming from Judea to Galilee.
