1As soon as the Lord had knowledge, how that it was come to the ears of the pharisees,(how the Pharisees had heard) that Jesus made and baptised more disciples than John
2(though that Jesus himself baptised not: but his disciples)
3he left Jewry, and departed again in to Galilee.
4And it was so that he must needs go thorow Samaria.
5Then came he to a city of Samaria called Sichar besides the possession(nigh unto the piece of land) that Jacob gave to his son Joseph,
6and there was Jacob's well. Jesus then wearied in his journey, sat thus on the well. (And) It was about the sixth hour:
7(And) There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. (And) Jesus said unto her: Give me drink.
8(for his disciples were gone away unto the town to buy meat.)
9(Then) The woman of Samaria said unto him: how is it, that thou being a jew(iewe) askest drink of me, which am a Samaritan? (for the jews meddle not with the Samaritans.)
10Jesus answered and said unto her: if thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is, that sayeth to thee give me drink: thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee water of life.
11The woman said unto him: Sir thou hast no thing to draw it withal, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that water of life?
12Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and he himself drank thereof and his children and his cattle?
13Jesus answered and said unto her: whosoever drinketh of this water, shall thirst again.
14But whosoever shall drink of the water that I shall give him, shall never be more a thirst: But the water that I shall give him, shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
15The woman said unto him: Sir give me of that water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
16Jesus said unto her: Go and call thy husband, and come hither.
17The woman answered and said to him: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: Thou hast well said, I have no husband.
18For thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband. That saidst thou truly.(there saydest thou right)
19The woman said unto him: Sir I perceive(see) that thou art a prophet.
20Our fathers worshipped in this mountain: and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to pray.(worship.)
21Jesus said unto her: woman trust(believe) me; The hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the father.
22Ye worship ye wot nere(not) what: we know what we worship. For salvation cometh of the jews.
23But the hour cometh, and now is, (allready) when the true worshippers shall worship the father in spirit, and in verity.(trouth) For verily such the father requireth to worship him.
24God is a spirit, and they that worship him, must honour(worship) him, in spirit and verity.(trouth, or real fidelity of truth)
25The woman said unto him: I wot well Messias shall come, which is called Christ. When he is once come, he will tell us all things.
26Jesus said unto her: I that speak unto thee, am he.
27And even at that point,(in the mean season) came his disciples, and marveled that he talked with the woman. Yet no man said unto him: what meanest(askest) thou, or why talkest thou with her?
28The woman (then) left her water pot behind her, and went her way into the city, and said to the men(people) there:
29Come see a man which told me all things that ever I did. Is not he Christ?
30Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
31(And) In the meanwhile his disciples prayed him saying: Master eat.
32He said unto them: I have meat to eat, that ye know not of.
33Then said the disciples between(among) themselves: hath any man brought him meat?
34Jesus said unto them: My meat is to fulfill (do) the will of him that sent me. And to finish his work.
35Say not ye: There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Behold I say unto you, lift up your eyes, and look on the regions: For they are white already unto harvest.
36And he that reapeth receiveth reward, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal:(everlasting life) That both he that soweth, might rejoice also, and he that reapeth.(that both he that soweth and he that reapeth might rejoice to gether.)
37And herein is the saying(proverb) true, that one soweth; And another reapeth.
38I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labor. Other men laboured; And ye are entered into their labors.
39Many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him; For the woman's saying, which testified: He told me all things that ever I did.
40Then when the Samaritans were come unto him; They besought him, that he would tarry with them. And he abode there two days.
41And many more believed because of his own words.
42And said unto the woman: Now we believe not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is even indeed(of a truth is) Christ the saviour of the world.
43After two days, he departed thence, and went away into Galilee.
44And Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath none honour in his own country.
45Then as soon as he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him which had seen all (the) things, that he did at Jerusalem on(at) the feast. For they went also unto the feast day.
46And Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he turned water into wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47As soon as the same heard that Jesus was come out of Jewry into Galilee he went unto him, and besought him, that he would descend, and heal his son: For he was even ready to die.
48Then said Jesus unto him: Except ye see signs(tokens) and wonders, ye believe not.(ye cannot believe.)
49The ruler said unto him: Sir come away or ever that my child die.
50Jesus said unto him go thy way, thy son liveth. And the man believed the words that Jesus had spoken unto him, and went his way.
51And anon as he went on his way, his servants met him, and told him, saying: thy child liveth;
52Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him: Yesterday the seventh hour, the fever left him.
53And the father knew(perceived) that it was the same hour in which Jesus said unto him: Thy son liveth. And he believed, and all his household.
54This is again the second miracle,(token) that Jesus did, after he was come out of Jewry into Galilee.
