Though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples;

Then he came to a Samaritan city, called Sychar, near the field which Jacob had given to his son Joseph.

His disciples had entered into the city to buy food for themselves.

Why, are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well, and he himself drank from it, and his sons and his sheep?

While he was talking, his disciples came, and they were surprised that he was talking with a married woman; but no one said to him, What do you want? or, What are you talking with her?

During the interval his disciples begged him, saying, Teacher, eat.

Jesus said to them, My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to finish his work.

And a great many believed in him because of his word;

For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet is not honored in his own city.

This man heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee; so he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son; for he was near death.

And as he was going down, his servants met him and brought him good news, saying, Your son is healed.

And his father knew that it was at that very hour when Jesus told him, Your son is healed; so he himself believed and his whole household.

And the man was healed immediately, and he got up and took his quilt-bed and walked. And that day was the sabbath.

And for this the Jews wanted the more to kill him, not only because he was weakening the sabbath, but also because he said concerning God that he is his Father, and was making himself equal with God.

Jesus answered and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, that the Son can do nothing of his own accord, except what he sees the Father doing; for the things which the Father does, the same the Son does like him also.

For the Father loves his Son, and he shows him everything that he does; and he will show him greater works than these, so that you may marvel.

Do not wonder at this; for the time is coming, when all those who are in the graves will hear his voice,

He was a lamp which burns and gives light; and you were willing to delight in his light for a while.

And the Father who sent me has testified concerning me. But you have never heard his voice, nor seen his appearance.

And his word does not abide in you, because you do not believe in him whom he has sent.
