John - ch 4 v 21 - 40
- Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father.
- You worship that which you don't know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
- But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshippers.
- God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."
- The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah comes," (he who is called Christ). "When he has come, he will declare to us all things."
- Jesus said to her, "I am he, the one who speaks to you."
- At this, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, "What are you looking for?" or, "Why do you speak with her?"
- So the woman left her water pot, and went away into the city, and said to the people,
- "Come, see a man who told me everything that I did. Can this be the Christ?"
- They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
- In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."
- But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you don't know about."
- The disciples therefore said one to another, "Has anyone brought him something to eat?"
- Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.
- Don't you say, 'There are yet four months until the harvest?' Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.
- He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to eternal life; that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.
- For in this the saying is true, 'One sows, and another reaps.'
- I sent you to reap that for which you haven't labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor."
- From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, "He told me everything that I did."
- So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
