John 4:31-54 ▼

31 In the meantime the disciples were urging Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”

32 But He said to them, “I have food to eat that you? do not know.”

33 Therefore the disciples were saying to one another, “Did anyone bring Him something to eat?”

34 Jesus says to them, “My food is that I should do the will of the One having sent Me and should finish His work.

35 Do you? not say, ‘It is yet four months and the harvest comes’? Behold, I say to you?, lift up your? eyes and look at the fields, because they are white to harvest already.

36 The one reaping receives a wage and gathers fruit unto eternal life, so that the one sowing and the one reaping may rejoice together.

37 For in this the word is true, that is, ‘One is sowing and another is reaping.’

38 I sent you? to reap what you? have not labored for; others have labored, and you? have entered into their labor.”

39 And out of that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman testifying, “He told me all things that I did.”

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

41 And many more believed because of His word.

42 And they were saying to the woman, “No longer because of your speech do we believe; for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this is truly the Savior of the world.”

43 And after the two days He went out from there into Galilee.

44 For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet in his own hometown does not have honor.

45 Therefore when He came into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed Him, having seen all things that He did in Jerusalem during the feast, for they themselves also went to the feast.

46 He came, therefore, again to Cana of Galilee, where He made the water wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son was sick in Capernaum.

47 This one, having heard that Jesus is come out of Judea into Galilee, went to Him and was asking that He might come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.

48 Therefore Jesus said to him, “Unless you? see signs and wonders, you? will never believe.”

49 The royal official says to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”

50 Jesus says to him. “Go, your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and he was going.

51 And already, in his going down, his servants met him, saying that his boy lives.

52 Therefore he inquired from them the hour in which he got better. Therefore they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.”

53 Therefore the father knew that it was in that hour at which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” And he himself believed, and his whole household.

54 Now this again was the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
