The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 50: John: The Challoner Revision
Bible. John
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.
4:26. Jesus saith to her: I am he, who am speaking with thee.
4:27. And immediately his disciples came. And they wondered that he
talked with the woman. Yet no man said: What seekest thou? Or: Why
talkest thou with her?
4:28. The woman therefore left her waterpot and went her way into the
city and saith to the men there:
4:29. Come, and see a man who has told me all things whatsoever I have
done. Is not he the Christ?
4:30. They went therefore out of the city and came unto him.
4:31. In the mean time, the disciples prayed him, saying: Rabbi, eat.
4:32. But he said to them: I have meat to eat which you know not.
4:33. The disciples therefore said one to another: Hath any man brought
him to eat?
4:34. Jesus saith to them: My meat is to do the will of him that sent
me, that I may perfect his work.
4:35. Do not you say: There are yet four months, and then the harvest
cometh? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see the countries.
For they are white already to harvest.
4:36. And he that reapeth receiveth wages and gathereth fruit unto life
everlasting: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice
together.
4:37. For in this is the saying true: That it is one man that soweth,
and it is another that reapeth.
4:38. I have sent you to reap that in which you did not labour. Others
have laboured: and you have entered into their labours.
4:39. Now of that city many of the Samaritans believed in him, for the
word of the woman giving testimony: He told me all things whatsoever I
have done.
4:40. So when the Samaritans were come to him, they desired that he
would tarry there. And he abode there two days.
4:41. And many more believed in him, because of his own word.
4:42. And they said to the woman: We now believe, not for thy saying:
for we ourselves have heard him and know that this is indeed the Saviour
of the world.
4:43. Now after two days, he departed thence and went into Galilee.
