John 4
1 Therfor as Jhesu knew, that the Farisees herden, that Jhesu makith and baptisith mo disciplis than Joon,
Nowe when the Lord knew, how the Pharises had heard, that Iesus made and baptized moe disciples then Iohn,
2 thouy Jhesus baptiside not, but hise disciplis, he lefte Judee,
(Though Iesus himselfe baptized not: but his disciples)
3 and wente ayen in to Galilee.
Hee left Iudea, and departed againe into Galile.
4 And it bihofte hym to passe bi Samarie.
And he must needes goe through Samaria.
5 Therfor Jhesus cam in to a citee of Samarie, that is seid Sicar, bisidis the place, that Jacob yaf to Joseph, his sone.
Then came hee to a citie of Samaria called Sychar, neere vnto the possession that Iacob gaue to his sonne Ioseph.
6 And the welle of Jacob was there; and Jhesus was weri of the iourney, and sat thus vpon the welle. And the our was, as it were the sixte.
And there was Iacobs well. Iesus then wearied in the iourney, sate thus on the well: it was about the sixt houre.
7 And a womman cam fro Samarie, to drawe watir. And Jhesus seith to hir, Yyue me drynk.
There came a woman of Samaria to drawe water. Iesus sayd vnto her, Giue me drinke.
8 And hise disciplis weren gon in to the citee, to bie mete.
For his disciples were gone away into the citie, to buy meate.
9 Therfor thilke womman of Samarie seith to him, Hou thou, `whanne thou art a Jewe, axist of me drynk, that am a womman of Samarie? for Jewis vsiden not to dele with Samaritans.
Then sayde the woman of Samaria vnto him, Howe is it, that thou being a Iewe, askest drinke of me, which am a woman of Samaria? For the Iewes meddle not with the Samaritans.
10 Jhesus answerde, and seide to hir, If thou wistist the yifte of God, and who `he is, that seith to thee, Yyue me drynk, thou perauenture woldist haue axid of hym, and he schulde haue youun to thee quyk watir.
Iesus answered and saide vnto her, If thou knewest that gift of God, and who it is that saieth to thee, Giue mee drinke, thou wouldest haue asked of him, and hee woulde haue giuen thee, water of life.
11 The womman seith to him, Sire, thou hast not where ynne to drawe, and the pit is deep; wherof thanne hast thou quik watir?
The woman saide vnto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to drawe with, and the well is deepe: from whence then hast thou that water of life?
12 Whethir thou art grettere than oure fadir Jacob, that yaf to vs the pit? and he drank therof, and hise sones, and hise beestis.
Art thou greater then our father Iacob, which gaue vs the well, and hee himselfe dranke thereof, and his sonnes, and his cattell?
13 Jhesus answerde, and seide to hir, Eche man that drynkith of this watir, schal thirste efte soone;
Iesus answered, and said vnto her, Whosoeuer drinketh of this water, shall thirst againe:
15 The womman seith to hym, Sire, yyue me this watir, that Y thirste not, nether come hidur to drawe.
The woman said vnto him, Syr, giue me of that water, that I may not thirst, neither come hither to drawe.
16 Jhesus seith to hir, Go, clepe thin hosebonde, and come hidir.
Iesus said vnto her, Go, call thine husband, and come hither.
17 The womman answerde, and seide, Y haue noon hosebonde. Jhesus seith to hir, Thou seidist wel, That Y haue noon hosebonde;
The woman answered, and saide, I haue no husband. Iesus said vnto her, Thou hast well said, I haue no husband.
18 for thou hast hadde fyue hosebondis, and he that thou hast, is not thin hosebonde. This thing thou seidist sotheli.
For thou hast had fiue husbands, and he whom thou nowe hast, is not thine husband: that saidest thou truely.
19 The womman seith to hym, Lord, Y se, that thou art a prophete.
The woman saide vnto him, Sir, I see that thou art a Prophet.
20 Oure fadris worschipiden in this hil, and ye seien, that at Jerusalem is a place, where it bihoueth to worschipe.
Our fathers worshipped in this mountaine, and ye say, that in Ierusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jhesus seith to hir, Womman, bileue thou to me, for the our schal come, whanne nether in this hil, nethir in Jerusalem, ye schulen worschipe the fadir.
Iesus saide vnto her, Woman, beleeue me, the houre commeth, when ye shall neither in this mountaine, nor at Hierusalem worship ye Father.
22 Ye worschipen that ye knowen not; we worschipen that that we knowen; for helthe is of the Jewis.
Ye worship that which ye knowe not: we worship that which we knowe: for saluation is of the Iewes.
23 But the tyme is comun, and now it is, whanne trewe worschiperis schulen worschipe the fadir in spirit and treuthe; for also the fadir sekith suche, that worschipen hym.
But the houre commeth, and nowe is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit, and trueth: for the Father requireth euen such to worship him.
24 God is a spirit, and it bihoueth hem that worschipen hym, to worschipe in spirit and treuthe.
God is a Spirite, and they that worship him, must worship him in spirit and trueth.
25 The womman seith to hym, Y woot that Messias is comun, that is seid Crist; therfor whanne he cometh, he schal telle vs alle thingis.
The woman said vnto him, I knowe well that Messias shall come which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell vs all things.
26 Jhesus seith to hir, Y am he, that spekith with thee.
Iesus said vnto her, I am he, that speake vnto thee.
27 And anoon hise disciplis camen, and wondriden, that he spak with the womman; netheles no man seide to hym, What sekist thou, or, What spekist thou with hir?
And vpon that, came his disciples, and marueiled that he talked with a woman: yet no man said vnto him, What askest thou? or why talkest thou with her?
28 Therfor the womman lefte hir watir pot, and wente in to the citee, and seide to tho men,
The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the citie, and said to the men,
29 Come ye, and se ye a man, that seide to me alle thingis that Y haue don; whether he be Crist?
Come, see a man which hath tolde me all things that euer I did: is not he that Christ?
30 And thei wenten out of the citee, and camen to hym.
Then they went out of the citie, and came vnto him.
31 In the mene while hise disciplis preieden hym, and seiden, Maistir, ete.
In the meane while, the disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eate.
32 But he seide to hem, Y haue mete to ete, that ye knowen not.
But he said vnto them, I haue meate to eate that ye know not of.
33 Therfor disciplis seiden togidir, Whether ony man hath brouyt him mete to ete?
Then said ye disciples betweene themselues, Hath any man brought him meate?
34 Jhesus seith to hem, My mete is, that Y do the wille of hym that sente me, that Y perfourme the werk of hym.
Iesus saide vnto them, My meate is that I may doe the will of him that sent me, and finish his worke.
35 Whether ye seien not, that yit foure monethis ben, and rype corn cometh? Lo! Y seie to you, lifte vp youre iyen, and se ye the feeldis, for now thei ben white to repe.
Say not ye, There are yet foure moneths, and then commeth haruest? Beholde, I say vnto you, Lift vp your eyes, and looke on the regions: for they are white alreadie vnto haruest.
36 And he that repith takith hire, and gaderith fruyt in to euerlastynge lijf; that bothe he that sowith, and he that repith, haue ioye togidere. (aiōnios g166)
And he that reapeth, receiueth rewarde, and gathereth fruite vnto life eternall, that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth, might reioyce together. (aiōnios g166)
37 In this thing is the word trewe, for anothir is that sowith, and anothir that repith.
For herein is the saying true, that one soweth, and an other reapeth.
38 Y sente you to repe, that that ye `haue not trauelid; `othere men han trauelid, and ye han entrid `in to her trauels.
I sent you to reape that, whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entred into their labours.
39 And of that citee many Samaritans bileueden in hym, for the word of the womman, that bare witnessyng, That he seide to me alle thingis that Y haue don.
Nowe many of the Samaritans of that citie beleeued in him, for the saying of the woman which testified, He hath tolde me all things that euer I did.
40 Therfor whanne Samaritans camen to hym, thei preieden hym to dwelle there; and he dwelte there twey daies.
Then when the Samaritans were come vnto him, they besought him, that he woulde tarie with them: and he abode there two dayes.
41 And many mo bileueden for his word,
And many moe beleeued because of his owne word.
42 and seiden to the womman, That now not for thi speche we bileuen; for we han herd, and we witen, that this is verili the sauyour of the world.
And they said vnto the woman, Nowe we beleeue, not because of thy saying: for we haue heard him our selues, and knowe that this is in deede that Christ the Sauiour of the world.
43 And aftir twei daies he wente out fro thennus, and wente in to Galilee.
So two dayes after he departed thence, and went into Galile.
44 And he bar witnessyng, that a profete in his owne cuntre hath noon onour.
For Iesus himselfe had testified, that a Prophet hath none honour in his owne countrey.
45 Therfor whanne he cam in to Galilee, men of Galilee resseyueden hym, whanne thei hadden seyn alle thingis that he hadde don in Jerusalem in the feeste dai; for also thei hadden comun to the feeste dai.
Then when he was come into Galile, the Galileans receiued him, which had seene all the things that he did at Hierusalem at the feast: for they went also vnto the feast.
46 Therfor he cam eftsoone in to the Cane of Galile, where he made the watir wiyn. And `a litil kyng was, whos sone was sijk at Cafarnaum.
And Iesus came againe into Cana a towne of Galile, where he had made of water, wine. And there was a certaine ruler, whose sonne was sicke at Capernaum.
47 Whanne this hadde herd, that Jhesu schulde come fro Judee in to Galilee, he wente to hym, and preiede hym, that he schulde come doun, and heele his sone; for he bigan to die.
When he heard that Iesus was come out of Iudea into Galile, he went vnto him, and besought him that he would goe downe, and heale his sonne: for he was euen ready to die.
48 Therfor Jhesus seide to him, But ye se tokenes and grete wondris, ye bileuen not.
Then saide Iesus vnto him, Except ye see signes and wonders, ye will not beleeue.
49 The litil kyng seith to hym, Lord, come doun, bifor that my sone die.
The ruler said vnto him, Syr, goe downe before my sonne dye.
50 Jhesus seith to hym, Go, thi sone lyueth. The man bileuede to the word, that Jhesus seide to hym, and he wente.
Iesus said vnto him, Go thy way, thy sonne liueth: and the man beleeued the worde that Iesus had spoken vnto him, and went his way.
51 And now whanne he cam doun, the seruauntis camen ayens hym, and telden to hym, and seiden, That his sone lyuede.
And as he was nowe going downe, his seruants met him, saying, Thy sonne liueth.
52 And he axide of hem the our, in which he was amendid. And thei seiden to hym, For yistirdai in the seuenthe our the feuer lefte him.
Then enquired he of them the houre when he began to amend. And they said vnto him, Yesterday the seuenth houre the feuer left him.
53 Therfor the fadir knewe, that thilke our it was, in which Jhesus seide to hym, Thi sone lyueth; and he bileuede, and al his hous.
Then the father knew, that it was the same houre in the which Iesus had said vnto him, Thy sonne liueth. And he beleeued, and all his houshold.
54 Jhesus dide eft this secounde tokene, whanne he cam fro Judee in to Galilee.
This second miracle did Iesus againe, after he was come out of Iudea into Galile.
