So then, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that He was making and baptizing more disciples than John

When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

(although Jesus Himself was not baptizing; rather, His disciples were),

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

He left Judea and went away again to Galilee.

He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.

And He had to pass through Samaria.

And he must needs go through Samaria.

So He came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph;

Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

and Jacob's well was there. So Jesus, tired from His journey, was just sitting by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink."

There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

For His disciples had gone away to the city to buy food.

(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

So the Samaritan woman said to Him, "How is it that You, though You are a Jew, are asking me for a drink, though I am a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)

Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

Jesus replied to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."

Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

She said to Him, "Sir, You have no bucket and the well is deep; where then do You get this living water?

The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

"You are not greater than our father Jacob, are You, who gave us the well and drank of it himself, and his sons and his cattle?"

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

Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again;

Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never be thirsty; but the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up to eternal life."

But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

The woman said to Him, "Sir, give me this water so that I will not be thirsty, nor come all the way here to draw water."

The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

He said to her, "Go, call your husband and come here."

Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

The woman answered and said to Him, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You have correctly said, 'I have no husband';

The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; this which you have said is true."

For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

The woman said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.

The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

"Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and yet you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship."

Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

Jesus said to her, "Believe Me, woman, that a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

"You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, because salvation is from the Jews.

Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

"But a time is coming, and even now has arrived, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers.

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

"God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

The woman said to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming (He who is called Christ); when that One comes, He will declare all things to us."

The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

Jesus said to her, "I am He, the One speaking to you."

Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

And at this point His disciples came, and they were amazed that He had been speaking with a woman, yet no one said, "What are You seeking?" or, "Why are You speaking with her?"

And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?

So the woman left her waterpot and went into the city, and said to the people,

The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,

"Come, see a Man who told me all the things that I have done; this is not the Christ, is He?"

Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

They left the city and were coming to Him.

Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

Meanwhile the disciples were urging Him, saying, "Rabbi, eat something."

In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.

But He said to them, "I have food to eat that you do not know about."

But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.

So the disciples were saying to one another, "No one brought Him anything to eat, did he?"

Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?

Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to accomplish His work.

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

"Do you not say, 'There are still four months, and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I tell you, raise your eyes and observe the fields, that they are white for harvest.

Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

"Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and is gathering fruit for eternal life, so that the one who sows and the one who reaps may rejoice together.

And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

"For in this case the saying is true: 'One sows and another reaps.'

And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

"I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have come into their labor."

I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.

Now from that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, "He told me all the things that I have done."

And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.

So when the Samaritans came to Jesus, they were asking Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.

So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.

Many more believed because of His word;

And many more believed because of his own word;

and they were saying to the woman, "It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this One truly is the Savior of the world."

And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

And after the two days, He departed from there for Galilee.

Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.

For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

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

So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, only because they had seen all the things that He did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they themselves also went to the feast.

Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.

Therefore He came again to Cana of Galilee, where He had made the water into wine. And there was a royal official whose son was sick at Capernaum.

So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and began asking Him to come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.

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.

Then Jesus said to him, "Unless you people see signs and wonders, you simply will not believe."

Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

The royal official said to Him, "Sir, come down before my child dies."

The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.

Jesus said to him, "Go; your son is alive." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went home.

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

And as he was now going down, his slaves met him, saying that his son was alive.

And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.

So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. Then they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."

Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.

So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son is alive"; and he himself believed, and his entire household.

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

This is again a second sign that Jesus performed when He had come from Judea into Galilee.

This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
