The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

(although Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),

So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:

and Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.

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

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers.

And upon this came his disciples; and they marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?

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

And many more believed because of his word;

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

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.

Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word that Jesus spake unto him, and he went his way.

And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son lived.

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

And a certain man was there, which had been thirty and eight years in his infirmity.

And straightway the man was made whole, and took up his bed and walked. Now it was the sabbath on that day.

For this cause therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only brake the sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

Marvel not at this: for the hour cometh, in which all that are in the tombs shall hear his voice,

He was the lamp that burneth and shineth: and ye were willing to rejoice for a season in his light.
