Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well. It was about the sixth hour.

For his disciples were gone into the city to buy meats.

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

And immediately his disciples came. And they wondered that he talked with the woman. Yet no man said: What seekest thou? Or: Why talkest thou with her?

Jesus saith to them: My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, that I may perfect his work.

And many more believed in him, because of his own word.

For Jesus himself gave testimony that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, sent to him and prayed him to come down and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

Jesus saith to him: Go thy way. Thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him and went his way.

And as he was going down, his servants met him: and they brought word, saying, that his son lived.

The father therefore knew that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him: Thy son liveth. And himself believed, and his whole house.

And there was a certain man there that had been eight and thirty years under his infirmity.

And immediately the man was made whole: and he took up his bed and walked. And it was the sabbath that day.

The man went his way and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him whole.

Hereupon therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he did not only break the sabbath but also said God was his Father, making himself equal to God.

He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.

And the Father himself who hath sent me hath given testimony of me: neither have you heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

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

I am come in the name of my Father, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive.

But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?
