Jesus Heals a Government Official’s Son
43At the end of the two days, Jesus went on to Galilee.44He himself had said that a prophet is not honored in his own hometown.45Yet the Galileans welcomed him, for they had been in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration and had seen everything he did there.
46As he traveled through Galilee, he came to Cana, where he had …
Many Samaritans Believe
39Many Samaritans from the village believed in Jesus because the woman had said, “He told me everything I ever did!”40When they came out to see him, they begged him to stay in their village. So he stayed for two days,41long enough for many more to hear his message and believe.42Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not just …
31Meanwhile, the disciples were urging Jesus, “Rabbi, eat something.”
32But Jesus replied, “I have a kind of food you know nothing about.”
33“Did someone bring him food while we were gone?” the disciples asked each other.
34Then Jesus explained: “My nourishment comes from doing the will of God, who sent me, and from finishing his work.35You know the saying, ‘Four months between planting and …
19“Sir,” the woman said, “you must be a prophet.20So tell me, why is it that you Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place of worship, while we Samaritans claim it is here at Mount Gerizim, where our ancestors worshiped?”
21Jesus replied, “Believe me, dear woman, the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the Father on this mountain or in …
16“Go and get your husband,” Jesus told her.
17“I don’t have a husband,” the woman replied.
Jesus said, “You’re right! You don’t have a husband—18for you have had five husbands, and you aren’t even married to the man you’re living with now. You certainly spoke the truth!” …
9The woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans. She said to Jesus, “You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?”
10Jesus replied, “If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water.”

The Samaritan Woman at the Well
1Jesus knew the Pharisees had heard that he was baptizing and making more disciples than John2(though Jesus himself didn’t baptize them—his disciples did).3So he left Judea and returned to Galilee.
4He had to go through Samaria on the way.5Eventually he came to the Samaritan village of Sychar, near the field that Jacob gave to his son …
John the Baptist Exalts Jesus
22Then Jesus and his disciples left Jerusalem and went into the Judean countryside. Jesus spent some time with them there, baptizing people.
23At this time John the Baptist was baptizing at Aenon, near Salim, because there was plenty of water there; and people kept coming to him for baptism.24(This was before John was thrown into prison.)25A debate broke out …
18“There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s hone and only Son. 19And the judgment is based on this fact: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil.20All who do evil hate the light …
16“For God loved the world so much that he gave his gone and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.17God sent his Son into the
world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.
They may be the most famous words in the world. I know of none sweeter. There really isn’t much …
