Bible. John
3:29. He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the
bridegroom, who standeth and heareth Him, rejoiceth with joy because of
the bridegroom's voice. This my joy therefore is fulfilled.
3:30. He must increase: but I must decrease.
3:31. He that cometh from above is above all. He that is of the earth,
of the earth he is, and of the earth he speaketh. He that cometh from
heaven is above all.
3:32. And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth: and no man
receiveth his testimony.
3:33. He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God
is true.
3:34. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God doth
not give the Spirit by measure.
3:35. The Father loveth the Son: and he hath given all things into his
hand.
3:36. He that believeth in the Son hath life everlasting: but he that
believeth not the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth
on him.
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.
