John 3:35 | 985 985 | John 4:41
one whom God has sent speaks the words
of God, for God a gives the Spir it with out
limit. 35 The Fa ther loves the Son and has
placed everything in his hands. 36 Whoever
be lieves in the Son has eter nal life, but
who ev er re jects the Son will not see life,
for God’s wrath re mains on them.
shiped on this moun tain, but you Jews
claim that the place where we must worship
is in Jerusalem.”
21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me,
a time is com ing when you will wor ship
the Fa ther nei ther on this moun tain nor
in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship
what you do not know; we wor ship what
we do know, for sal va tion is from the Jews.
23 Yet a time is com ing and has now come
when the true wor ship ers will wor ship
the Fa ther in the Spir it and in truth, for
they are the kind of wor ship ers the Fa ther
seeks. 24 God is spir it, and his wor ship ers
must wor ship in the Spir it and in truth.”
25 The wom an said, “I know that Messi
ah” (called Christ) “is com ing. When he
comes, he will ex plain ev ery thing to us.”
26 Then Jesus de clared, “I, the one speaking
to you — ​I am he.”
The Disciples Rejoin Jesus
27 Just then his dis ci ples re turned and
were sur prised to find him talk ing with a
wom an. But no one asked, “What do you
want?” or “Why are you talk ing with her?”
28 Then, leav ing her wa ter jar, the woman
went back to the town and said to the
people, 29 “Come, see a man who told me
ev ery thing I ever did. Could this be the
Mes si ah?” 30 They came out of the town
and made their way to ward him.
31 Mean while his dis ci ples urged him,
“Rabbi, eat something.”
32 But he said to them, “I have food to
eat that you know noth ing about.”
33 Then his dis ci ples said to each oth er,
“Could some one have brought him food?”
34 “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will
of him who sent me and to fin ish his work.
35 Don’t you have a say ing, ‘It’s still four
months un til har vest’? I tell you, open your
eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe
for harvest. 36 Even now the one who reaps
draws a wage and har vests a crop for eternal
life, so that the sow er and the reap er
may be glad to geth er. 37 Thus the say ing
‘One sows and an oth er reaps’ is true. 38 I
sent you to reap what you have not worked
for. Oth ers have done the hard work, and
you have reaped the ben e fits of their la bor.”
Many Samaritans Believe
39 Many of the Sa mar i tans from that
town be lieved in him be cause of the woman’s
tes ti mo ny, “He told me ev ery thing I
ever did.” 40 So when the Samaritans came
to him, they urged him to stay with them,
and he stayed two days. 41 And be cause of
his words many more became believers.
Jesus Talks With a Samaritan
Woman
Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees
4 had heard that he was gain ing and
bap tiz ing more dis ci ples than John —
2 al though in fact it was not Jesus who
baptized, but his disciples. 3 So he left Judea
and went back once more to Gal i lee.
4 Now he had to go through Sa mar ia.
5 So he came to a town in Sa mar ia called
Sy char, near the plot of ground Ja cob had
giv en to his son Jo seph. 6 Ja cob’s well was
there, and Jesus, tired as he was from
the jour ney, sat down by the well. It was
about noon.
7 When a Sa mar i tan wom an came to
draw wa ter, Jesus said to her, “Will you
give me a drink?” 8 (His dis ci ples had gone
into the town to buy food.)
9 The Samaritan woman said to him,
“You are a Jew and I am a Sa mar i tan woman.
How can you ask me for a drink?” (For
b
Jews do not associate with Samaritans. )
10 Jesus an swered her, “If you knew the
gift of God and who it is that asks you for
a drink, you would have asked him and
he would have given you living water.”
11 “Sir,” the wom an said, “you have nothing
to draw with and the well is deep.
Where can you get this liv ing wa ter? 12 Are
you great er than our fa ther Ja cob, who
gave us the well and drank from it him self,
as did also his sons and his live stock?”
13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks
this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever
drinks the wa ter I give them will never
thirst. In deed, the wa ter I give them will
be come in them a spring of wa ter well ing
up to eter nal life.”
15 The wom an said to him, “Sir, give me
this wa ter so that I won’t get thirsty and
have to keep com ing here to draw wa ter.”
16 He told her, “Go, call your hus band
and come back.”
17 “I have no hus band,” she re plied.
Jesus said to her, “You are right when
you say you have no hus band. 18 The fact
is, you have had five hus bands, and the
man you now have is not your hus band.
What you have just said is quite true.”
19 “Sir,” the wom an said, “I can see that
you are a proph et. 20 Our an ces tors wora
