John Chapter 4
Christ talks with the Samaritan woman. He heals the ruler's son.
4:1. When Jesus therefore understood the Pharisees had heard that Jesus
maketh more disciples and baptizeth more than John,
4:2. (Though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples),
4:3. He left Judea and went again into Galilee.
4:4. And he was of necessity to pass through Samaria.
4:5. He cometh therefore to a city of Samaria, which is called Sichar,
near the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
4:6. Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his
journey, sat thus on the well. It was about the sixth hour.
4:7. There cometh a woman of Samaria, to draw water. Jesus saith to her:
Give me to drink.
4:8. For his disciples were gone into the city to buy meats.
4:9. Then that Samaritan woman saith to him: How dost thou, being a Jew;
ask of me to drink, who am a Samaritan woman? For the Jews do not
communicate with the Samaritans.
4:10. Jesus answered and said to her: If thou didst know the gift of God
and who he is that saith to thee: Give me to drink; thou perhaps wouldst
have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
4:11. The woman saith to him: Sir, thou hast nothing wherein to draw,
and the well is deep. From whence then hast thou living water?
4:12. Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and
drank thereof, himself and his children and his cattle?
4:13. Jesus answered and said to her: Whosoever drinketh of this water
shall thirst again: but he that shall drink of the water that I will
give him shall not thirst for ever.
4:14. But the water that I will give him shall become in him a fountain
of water, springing up into life everlasting.
4:15. The woman said to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not
thirst, nor come hither to draw.
4:16. Jesus saith to her: Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
4:17. The woman answered and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her:
Thou hast said well: I have no husband.
4:18. For thou hast had five husbands: and he whom thou now hast is not
thy husband. This, thou hast said truly.
4:19. The woman saith to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
4:20. Our fathers adored on this mountain: and you say that at Jerusalem
is the place where men must adore.
This mountain... Garizim, where the Samaritans had their schismatical
temple.
4:21. Jesus saith to her: Woman, believe me that the hour cometh, when
you shall neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, adore the Father.
4:22. You adore that which you know not: we adore that which we know.
For salvation is of the Jews.
4:23. But the hour cometh and now is, when the true adorers shall adore
the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeketh such to
adore him.
4:24. God is a spirit: and they that adore him must adore him in spirit
and in truth.
4:25. The woman saith to him: I know that the Messias cometh (who is
called Christ): therefore, when he is come, he will tell us all things.
