The Samaritan woman said to him, How is it? You are a Jew, and yet you ask me for a drink, who am a Samaritan woman? For Jews have no social intercourse with Samaritans.

For you have had five husbands; and the one you now have is not your husband; what you said is true.

You worship what you do not know; but we worship what we do know; for salvation is from the Jews.

But the time is coming, and it is here, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father also desires worshippers such as these.

For God is Spirit; and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Do you not say that after four months comes the harvest? behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look at the fields, which have turned white and have long been ready for the harvest.

For in this case the saying is true, One sows and another reaps.

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

And they were saying to the woman, Henceforth it is not because of your word that we believe him; for we ourselves have heard and know, that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

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

When he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, for they had seen all the wonders he did at Jerusalem during the feast; for they also had come to the feast.

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 at these entrances a great many sick people were lying, the blind, the lame, and the crippled; and they were waiting for the water to be stirred up;

For an angel of God went down at a certain time to the baptismal pool and stirred up the water; and whoever went in first after the stirring of the water was healed of any disease he had.

A man was there who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

Jesus saw this man lying down, and he knew that he had been waiting for a long time; so he said to him, Do you wish to be healed?

So the Jews said to him who was healed, It is the sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your quilt-bed.

But he who was healed did not know who he was; for Jesus was pressed by a large crowd which was at that place.

After a while, Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, Behold, you are healed; do not sin again, for something worse might happen to you than the first.

And for this reason the Jews persecuted Jesus and wanted to kill him, because he was doing these things on the sabbath.
