Евангелие
John.4:5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sy­char, near to the par­cel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
John.4:6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus there­fore, being wea­ried with his jour­ney, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
John.4:7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
John.4:8 (For his dis­ci­ples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
John.4:9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, ask­est drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no deal­ings with the Samar­i­tans.
John.4:10 Jesus an­swered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee liv­ing water.
John.4:11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast noth­ing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that liv­ing water?
John.4:12 Art thou greater than our fa­ther Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof him­self, and his chil­dren, and his cat­tle?
John.4:13 Jesus an­swered and said unto her, Whoso­ever drin­keth of this water shall thirst again:
John.4:14 But whoso­ever drin­keth of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water spring­ing up into ever­last­ing life.
John.4:15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, nei­ther come hither to draw.
John.4:16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy hus­band, and come hither.
John.4:17 The woman an­swered and said, I have no hus­band. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no hus­band:
John.4:18 For thou hast had five hus­bands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy hus­band: in that saidst thou truly.
John.4:19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I per­ceive that thou art a prophet.
John.4:20 Our fa­thers wor­shipped in this moun­tain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to wor­ship.
John.4:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, be­lieve me, the hour cometh, when ye shall nei­ther in this moun­tain, nor yet at Jerusalem, wor­ship the Fa­ther.
John.4:22 Ye wor­ship ye know not what: we know what we wor­ship: for sal­va­tion is of the Jews.
John.4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true wor­ship­pers shall wor­ship the Fa­ther in spirit and in truth: for the Fa­ther seeketh such to wor­ship him.
John.4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that wor­ship him must wor­ship him in spirit and in truth.
John.4:25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Mes­sias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
John.4:26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
John.4:27 And upon this came his dis­ci­ples, and mar­velled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seek­est thou? or, Why talk­est thou with her?
John.4:28 The woman then left her wa­ter­pot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
John.4:29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
John.4:30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
John.4:31 In the mean while his dis­ci­ples prayed him, say­ing, Mas­ter, eat.
John.4:32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
John.4:33 There­fore said the dis­ci­ples one to an­other, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
John.4:34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to fin­ish his work.
John.4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh har­vest? be­hold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white al­ready to har­vest.
John.4:36 And he that reapeth re­ceiveth wages, and gath­ereth fruit unto life eter­nal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may re­joice to­gether.
John.4:37 And herein is that say­ing true, One soweth, and an­other reapeth.
John.4:38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye be­stowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are en­tered into their labours.
John.4:39 And many of the Samar­i­tans of that city be­lieved on him for the say­ing of the woman, which tes­ti­fied, He told me all that ever I did.
John.4:40 So when the Samar­i­tans were come unto him, they be­sought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
John.4:41 And many more be­lieved be­cause of his own word;
John.4:42 And said unto the woman, Now we be­lieve, not be­cause of thy say­ing: for we have heard him our­selves, and know that this is in­deed the Christ, the Sav­iour of the world.
