(although Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),
3 he left Judea, and went again into Galilee.
he left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
4 Now he must necessarily pass through Samaria.
And he must needs pass through Samaria.
5 Then he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sichar, near the spot of ground which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:
6 And Jacob’s well was there. Therefore Jesus, weary with his journey, e’en sat himself down on the well: it was about the sixth hour.

9 The Samaritan woman therefore saith to him, How canst thou, a Jew, ask of me, who am a Samaritan woman, to drink? for Jews avoid all intercourse with Samaritans.
The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a Samaritan woman? (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
10 Jesus answered and said to her, If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who he is that speaketh to thee, thou wouldest have requested him, and he would have given thee life-giving 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.
11 The woman saith unto him, Thou hast no bucket, and the well is deep: whence then canst thou have this water that giveth life?
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?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and his children, and his cattle?
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one who drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
15 The woman saith to him, Sir, give me this water, that I may no more thirst, nor come hither to draw.
The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw.
16 Jesus saith to her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus saith to her, Thou hast spoken right, that thou hast no husband:
The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:
18 for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in this thou hast spoken true.

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

20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye affirm, That the place where we ought to worship is at Jerusalem.
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jesus saith to her, Woman, believe me, that the hour approaches, when ye shall worship the Father neither in this mountain, nor at Jerusalem.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we worship what we do know: for salvation cometh from the Jews.

26 Jesus saith unto her, I that am speaking to thee am he.
Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he].
27 And upon this came his disciples, and wondered that he talked with the woman: yet no one said, What art thou seeking? or, Why art thou talking with her?
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?
28 Then the woman left her pitcher, and went into the city, and said to the men,
So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the men,
29 Come with me; behold a man, who told me all things that I ever did: is not this the Messiah?

I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not laboured: others have laboured, and ye are entered into their labour.
39 Now many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him, on the report of the woman, who said, That he told me all things I ever had done.
And from that city many of the Samaritans believed on him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all things that [ever] I did.
40 So on this the Samaritans came to him, and besought him to abide with them: and he tarried there two days.

and they said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy speaking: for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.

46 Then came Jesus again to Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain attendant on the king, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
He came therefore again unto Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 This person having heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, went to him, that he might come down, and cure 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.
