say that
Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. [4:21]Jesus said to
her, Believe me, woman, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain,
nor in Jerusalem, you shall worship the Father. [4:22]You worship what
you know not; we worship what we know; for salvation is of the Jews.
[4:23]But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall
worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father seeks such to
worship him. [4:24]God is a Spirit, and those that worship him must
worship in spirit and truth. [4:25]The woman said to him, I know that
the Messiah is coming, called Christ; when he comes he will tell us all
things. [4:26]Jesus said to her, I that speak to you am [the Messiah].
4 [4:27]And upon this his disciples came, and wondered that he talked
with the woman; but no one said to him, What do you seek? or why do
you talk with her? [4:28]Then the woman left her bucket, and went to
the city, and said to the men, [4:29]Come and see a man who has told me
all things which I have done; is this the Christ? [4:30]They came out
from the city and came to him.
5 [4:31]In the meantime the disciples asked him saying, Rabbi, eat.
[4:32]But he said to them, I have food to eat which you know not of.
[4:33]Then the disciples said one to another, Has any one brought him
food to eat? [4:34]Jesus said to them, My food is to do the will of him
that sent me, and to finish his work. [4:35]Do you not say, There are
yet four months, and the harvest comes? behold, I say to you, lift up
your eyes and see the fields; for they are white for a harvest.
[4:36]Already he that reaps receives wages and gathers fruit for life
eternal, that he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together.
[4:37] For in this is the saying true; He that sows is one, and he that
reaps is another. [4:38]I have sent you to reap that on which you have
not labored; others have labored and you have entered into their labor.
6 [4:39]And many of the Samaritans in that city believed on him, on
account of the word of the woman, testifying, He told me all things
which I have done. [4:40]When, therefore, the Samaritans came to him,
they desired him to remain with them; and he remained there two days.
[4:41]And many more believed on account of his word, [4:42]and said to
the woman, We no longer believe on account of your report, for we have
heard him ourselves, and know that this is truly the Saviour of the
world.
