John Chapter 4

1 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

<>the Pharisees

2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

3 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.

4 And he must needs go through Samaria.

<>v. 4

5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

<>city, <>Jacob, <>son, <>Joseph

6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

<>v. 7, <>woman, <>Jesus saith … Give me to drink.

8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

<>meat

9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

<>answered, <>the gift of God, <>who it is, <>he would have given thee living water

11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

<>Art thou greater than our father Jacob

13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

<>whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst, <>the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life, <>water springing up into everlasting life, <>everlasting life

15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

<>husband

17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

<>Thou hast well said, I have no husband

18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

<>I perceive that thou art a prophet.

20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

<>Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, <>ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship

21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

<>Jesus saith … believe me

22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

<>Ye worship ye know not what, <>salvation is of the Jews, <>salvation

23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

<>worship him

24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

<>Christ … will tell us all things.

26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

<>I that speak unto thee, <>I … am he., <>I … am

27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?

<>his disciples … marvelled that he talked with the woman, <>What seekest thou?

28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,

<>vv. 28-29

29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

<>vv. 28-29, <>Come, see, <>see … the Christ, <>told me all things that ever I did, <>is not this the Christ?

30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

<>came unto him

31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.

<>Master

32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.

33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?

34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

<>My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, <>My meat is … to finish his work., <>him that sent me

35 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; for they are white already to harvest.

<>harvest … harvest, <>the fields … are white already to harvest

36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

<>he that reapeth receiveth wages, <>fruit unto life eternal, <>that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together

37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

<>herein is that saying true, <>One soweth, and another reapeth.

38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.

<>v. 38, <>I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour

39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.

<>believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, <>testified

40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.

<>they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there, <>tarry

41 And many more believed because of his own word;

42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

<>we have heard him ourselves, <>this is indeed the Christ, <>the Saviour of the world, <>the Saviour

43 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.

44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

<>Jesus himself testified, <>a prophet hath no honour in his own country, <>honour, <>in his own country, <>country

45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.

<>received him

46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

<>Jesus came again, <>Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine, <>nobleman, <>sick

47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

<>death

48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

<>Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.

<>ere, <>child

50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.

<>the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken

51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.

<>his servants

52 Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.

53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.

<>house

54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.

John Chapter 5

1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

<>there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, <>a feast of the Jews

2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

<>impotent folk, <>blind, <>halt, <>the water

4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

<>at a certain season … whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole, <>troubled the water, <>whosoever … stepped in was made whole, <>first, <>disease

5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

<>Wilt thou be made whole?

7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

<>answered

8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

<>the sabbath

10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

<>wist, <>Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

<>Jesus findeth him, <>findeth him in the temple, <>the temple, <>sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee, <>sin no more

15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.

16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

<>therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, <>persecute Jesus, <>persecute

17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

<>I work.

18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

<>making himself equal with God

19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

<>Verily, verily

20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

<>the Father loveth the Son

21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

<>the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them, <>raiseth up the dead, <>dead, <>quickeneth … quickeneth

22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

<>the Father … hath committed all judgment unto the Son, <>hath committed all judgment unto the Son

23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

<>v. 23

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

<>He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, <>He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me … shall not come into condemnation, <>heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, <>heareth my word, <>believeth on him, <>him that sent me, <>hath everlasting life … is passed from death unto life, <>everlasting life, <>death

25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

<>The hour … now is, when the dead … shall live., <>The hour is coming … when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live., <>they that hear

26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

<>vv. 26-27

27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

<>vv. 26-27

28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

<>Marvel not, <>the graves

29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

<>the resurrection of life … the resurrection of damnation

30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

<>my judgment is just, <>I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.

32 There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

33 Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.

<>the truth

34 But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.

<>I receive not testimony from man, <>these things I say, that ye might be saved

35 He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.

<>He was … a shining light, <>a burning … light

36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

<>I have greater witness than that of John, <>the works … the Father hath given me to finish

37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

<>the Father … Ye have neither … seen his shape

38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

<>ye have not his word abiding in you

39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

<>Search the scriptures, <>Search, <>the scriptures … testify of me

40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

<>come to me, that ye might have life, <>come to me

41 I receive not honour from men.

42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

<>v. 42, <>the love of God

43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

<>ye receive me not

44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

<>v. 44, <>honour … honour

45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

<>accuse … accuseth, <>Moses

46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.

<>Moses … wrote of me., <>he wrote

47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

<>v. 47
