Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband for thou
hast had five husbands. He whom thou now hast is not thy husband. In
that saidst thou truly. The woman saith unto Him, Sir, I perceive that
Thou art a prophet. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain and ye say
that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh when ye shall,
neither worship the Father in this mountain nor at Jerusalem. Ye worship
ye know not what. We know what we worship because salvation is of the
Jews. But the hour cometh, and is now, when the true worshippers shall
worship the Father in spirit and in truth because the Father seeketh
such to worship Him. God is a Spirit. They that worship Him must worship
Him in spirit and in truth. The woman saith unto Him, I know that a
messias cometh which is called Christ. When He is come He will tell
us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am He. At
this time His disciples came and they marvelled that He talked with the
woman. Yet no man said, What seekest Thou? or, Why talkest Thou with her?
The woman then left her waterpot and went her way. In the city she saith
to the men, Come, see a man which told me all the things that I ever
did. Is not this the Christ? Then they went out of the city and came
unto Him.
In the meanwhile His disciples prayed Him, saying, Master, eat. But
He said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. Therefore
said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought Him ought to
eat? Jesus saith unto them, my meat is to do the will of Him that sent me
and to complete His work. Say not ye, There are yet four months and then
cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes and look on
the fields. They are all ready to harvest. He that reapeth now receiveth
wages and gathereth fruit unto life eternal so that both he that soweth
and he that reapeth may rejoice together. And herein is that saying true,
One soweth and another reapeth. I sent you to reap where ye bestowed no
labour. Other men laboured and ye are entered into their labours.
And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on Him for the saying
of the woman who testified, He told me all that ever I did. So when
the Samaritans were come unto Him, they besought Him to tarry with
them. And He abode there two days. Many more believed because of His
own word. They said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy
saying but because we have heard Him ourselves and know that this is
indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
Now after two days He departed from there and went into Galilee. Jesus
Himself testified that a prophet hath no honour in his own country. When
He come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received Him after having seen all
the things that He did at Jerusalem at the feast because they also were
at the feast. So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee where He turned
the water into wine.
