So he came to a town of Samaria which was named Sychar, near to the bit of land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph:

The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be in need again of drink and will not have to come all this way for it.

So they went out of the town and came to him.

So the disciples said one to another, Did anyone give him food?

He who does the cutting now has his reward; he is getting together fruit for eternal life, so that he who did the planting and he who gets in the grain may have joy together.

So when the people came to him they made request to him to be among them for a time, and he was there two days.

So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans took him to their hearts because of the things which they had seen him do in Jerusalem at the feast--they themselves having been there at the feast.

So he came to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain man of high position whose son was ill at Capernaum.

So he put a question to them as to the hour when he became better; and they said to him, The disease went from him yesterday at the seventh hour.

When Jesus saw him there on the floor it was clear to him that he had been now a long time in that condition, and so he said to the man, Is it your desire to get well?

So the Jews said to the man who had been made well, It is the Sabbath; and it is against the law for you to take up your bed.

But his answer was: My Father is still working even now, and so I am working.

For this cause the Jews had an even greater desire to put Jesus to death, because not only did he not keep the Sabbath but he said God was his Father, so making himself equal with God.

So Jesus made answer and said, Truly I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything himself; he is able to do only what he sees the Father doing; whatever the Father does the Son does it in the same way.

For the Father has love for the Son and lets him see everything which he does: and he will let him see greater works than these so that you may be full of wonder.

In the same way, as the Father gives life to the dead, even so the Son gives life to those to whom he is pleased to give it.

So that all men may give honour to the Son even as they give honour to the Father. He who gives no honour to the Son gives no honour to the Father who sent him.

For even as the Father has life in himself, so he has given to the Son to have life in himself.

Of myself I am unable to do anything: as the voice comes to me so I give a decision: and my decision is right because I have no desire to do what is pleasing to myself, but only what is pleasing to him who sent me.

But I have no need of a man's witness: I only say these things so that you may have salvation.
