And he came to a city of the Samaritans called Sychar, near the field which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

And his disciples had gone to the city, to buy themselves food.

Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well, and drank from it himself, and his children, and his flocks?

And while he was speaking, his disciples came. And they wondered that he would converse with the woman; yet no one said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?

In the mean time, his disciples entreated him, and said to him: Our Rabbi, eat.

Jesus said to them: My food is to do the pleasure of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work.

And many believed on him, because of his discourse.

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

He heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee; and he went to him, and besought him that he would come down and heal his son; for he was near dying.

And as he was going down, his servants met him, and informed him and said to him: Thy son liveth.

And his father knew, that it was at the hour in which Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth. And he believed, and all his house.

And immediately the man was healed; and he arose, took up his bed, and walked; and it was the sabbath day.

And for this, the Jews sought the more to kill him, not only because he had broken the sabbath, but because he had said of God, that he was his Father, and had equalled himself with God.

And Jesus answered, and said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you: The Son can do nothing, of his own pleasure, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things the Father doeth, these in like manner doeth the Son.

For the Father loveth his Son, and showeth him every thing he doeth: and greater works than these, will he show him, that ye may wonder.

wonder not at this; for the hour cometh when all that are in their graves will hear his voice;

He was a burning and shining lamp; and ye were willing for a time, to glory in his light.

And the Father who sent me, he testifieth of me. Ye have not at any time heard his voice, nor have ye seen his visage.

And his word abideth not in you, because ye believe not in him whom he hath sent.

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