those who worship him must worship him in spirit and truth."

"I know Messiah, called the Christ, is coming. When he has come, he will tell us everything."

"I who am talking to you am he."

His disciples then came and wondered because he was talking to the woman.

Yet no one said, What are you seeking? or, Why are you talking to her?

The woman left her water pot and went into the

city.

"Come see a man who told me everything I ever did," she said to the men. not the Christ ?"

They went out of the city and

"Surely this is

In the meantime his disciples kept urging him to

eat.

"Rabbi, eat," they said.

"I have food to eat which you do not know about."

"Has any one brought him something to eat?" they said to each other.

"My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to finish his work. Do you not say There are still four months and then comes harvest? I tell you, Lift up your eyes and look on the fields. They are white already for harvest. And he who

is reaping is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life so that both he who is sowing and he who is reaping may rejoice together. And in this is that saying true: One sows, another reaps. I sent you to reap what you never put any labor on. Other men labored, and you have come into possession of the fruits of their labors."

Many Samaritans of that city believed in Jesus because of what the woman said: "He told me all I ever did."

So when the Samaritans came to him they kept begging him to stay with them. So he stayed there two days.

Many more believed because of what he himself had said, and so they said to the woman:

"Now we do not believe because of your saying. For we have heard him ourselves and know this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world."

After two days Jesus went away from there into Galilee. For he himself used to say: “A Prophet has no honor in his own country." So when he came into Galilee the Galileans received him because they had seen everything he did in Jerusalem at the feast.

So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee where he had made the water wine. A nobleman whose

son was sick at Capernaum was there.

So when

he heard Jesus had come out of Judæa into Galilee, he went to him and kept begging him to come down and cure his son, for he was at the point of death.

"Except you see signs and wonders," said Jesus, "you will not believe."

"Come down, Sir, before my child dies."

"You may go.

Your child is living."

So the man believed what Jesus had said to him, and went. And as he was now going down, his slaves met him.

"Your son is living," they said.

So he asked them the time he began to get better.

"Yesterday at one o'clock the fever left him."

So the father knew it was at the same time that Jesus said to him: "Your son is living." So he himself believed and his whole household.

This is again the second sign Jesus did when he had come out of Judæa into Galilee.

After this there was a feast of the Jews. So Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Now there was at Jerusalem by the sheepgate, a pool, called in Hebrew, Bethesda. It had five porches. In these lay a crowd of those who were sick, some blind, some lame, some crippled. So there was a man there who had been sick thirtyeight years.

"Do you want to be cured?" Jesus said to him, when he saw him lying and realized that he had now been a long time in that condition.

"I have no one, Sir, when there is a movement of the water to put me into the pool. But while I am coming another steps down before me."

"Rise.

Take up your bed and walk."

The man was at once cured, took up his bed and began to walk.

Now that day was the Sabbath.

"It is the Sabbath," the Jews said to him who was cured. "It is not right for you to be carrying

your bed."

"He who cured me said: : Take up your bed and walk."

"Who is the man who said to you: Take up your bed and walk?"

5:13.

The man who was cured did not know who he was. For there was a crowd in the place and Jesus had gone away. Afterwards, however, Jesus found him in the Temple.

"Listen," he said, "you are cured. Sin no more so that a worse thing may not come on you." The man went and told the Jews it was Jesus who cured him. And for this reason the Jews kept persecuting Jesus because he kept doing these things on the Sabbath.

"My Father is working even till now," he answered them, "and I am working."

So the Jews kept trying the more to kill him because he had not only broken the Sabbath, but also said God was his Father, making himself equal to God.

"Most truly I tell you," Jesus then answered,

"The Son can do nothing by himself, Except what he sees the Father doing. For whatever he is doing

These in the same way does the Son also do.

For the Father loves the Son

And shows him everything he himself does. And he will show him greater things than these

So that you may wonder.
