This word is the river of life
you do not know , and we worship that Whom we know , as salvation is from the Jews . But the hour comes when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth , for the Father seeks such to be His worshippers ». And when the woman was careful to the words of life , she remembered of the prophets and said : « We know that Messiah is to come , Who is called Christ , and when He comes , He will declare all things to us ». And when I heard that she spoke about Me , I said : « I am He , the One Who speaks to you ». I revealed Myself to her , so that she might know that I came and I taught her . And then the disciples came with food and saw Me speaking with her and marveled that I was speaking with the woman , but they did not tempted Me about what I was doing , and she left her little wooden pail there and went into the city and told to many to come to the well in Sihar ( Sihem , r . n .) to see Christ . And then the Samaritans came to the well at Me , and I did not want to eat any more , as the disciples said to Me : “ Lord , eat .” But then My food was to do My Father ’ s will , Who sent Me from heaven to do His will , and I told them about the work of the harvest and about the reward of those who reap , who receive a reward and gather fruit for eternal life ; however , they rejoice together with the one who reaps , as the sower is one and the reaper is another one . He who reaps is not like the one who sows . He who sows works much , and he who reaps comes in the work of the one who sows and labors over the sowed crop field , and they rejoice together , as with God there is love ; there is the reward for the reapers , for they finish their work and gather the fruit for eternal life ; and the reaper rejoices with the one who sows , the sower with the reaper .
This is how the Samaritans received Christ , Israel . This is how My coming to them was ; the same as to you , Israel , as I worked the word of life ; I sown it upon that woman who came at the well in Sychar , and those from Samaria came there ; they came because of the faith testified by the woman and took Me into their home , and they believed because of My word and not only because that faithful woman told them to do it . My word is a well of living water , and whoever drinks of it , it turns into a spring of living water in him , which flows into an eternal life . Oh , how beautiful was the faith of the Samaritans , as they believed by My word , not by seeing My godly power , not by seeing the signs and miracles , but through the word and through their faith in the prophets and in the fathers .
Oh , you should not get upset , My people . I know that you know the Scripture , but I come to clarify it to you so that you may know its word from Me , My word , Israel , as by this Scripture I was speaking then about of My word of today , which is upon you , about My well of today , as this is what I said : « Whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again ; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life ». I am the well of water , as the word is the well , as the woman said when she said : « We know that Messiah will come and teach us all things . Lord , give me this water so that I may never get thirsty »
Israel , Israel , God is spirit and truth . I am the Spirit and the Truth ; I am He , who came from the Father , from the Holy Spirit and from the Virgin , and the true worshippers will worship Me , Who I am spirit and truth . I was speaking to My disciple then : « Whatever you ask from the Father into My name you will receive , as until now you did not ask into My name . Now ask , and you will receive into My name and I do not say that My Father will give you into My name as the Father Himself loves you , because you believed in Me , Who I came from the Father ». This is what I told to the Samaritan woman : God is Spirit and he who worships the Father , must worship in spirit and truth , not in the mountain of worship or in Jerusalem , but in Christ , the Son of the Father , Who became spirit and truth among the people , as it is written : « The word became flesh and dwelt among us , and we saw His glory , such glory as of the one
