They faid unto him, Rabbi, (which is to fay, being interpreted, Maiter,) where dwellett thou? 39 He faith unto them, Come and fee. They came and faw where he dwell, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. 40 One of the two which heard Johnspeak,' and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. 41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and faith unto him, We have found the Meffias, which is, being interpreted, the Chrift. 42 And he brought him to fefus.

And they filled them up the brim. 8 And he faith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feat. And they bare it. 9 When the ruler of the feaft had tafel the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was, (but the fervants which drew the water knew,) the governor of the feat called the bridegroom, 10 And faith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth fet forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worfe: but thou haft kept the good wine until now. 11 This beginning of miracles did Jefus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his gl ry; and his difciples believed on him. 12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his difciples; and they continued there not many days. 13 And the Jews' patiover was at hand, and Jefus went up to Jerufalem, 14 And found in the temple thofe that fold oxen, and fheep, and doves, and the changers of money, fitting: 15 And when he had made a scourge of The neceffity of regeneration.

Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his fon Jofeph. 6 Now Jacob's well was there, Jefus therefore, being wearied with his journey, fat thus on the well: and it was about the fixth hour. 7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jefus faith unto her, Give me to drink. 8(For his difciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) Then faith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, atkeft drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Sama ritans. 10 Jefus answered and faid unto her, if thou knewest the gist of God, and who it is that faith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldent have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. 11 The woman faith unto him, Sir, thou hait nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence thep haft thou that living life. 15 The woman faith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirit not, neither come hither to draw. 16 Jefus faith unto her, Gr, call thy huf. band, and come hither. 17 The woman anfwered and faid, I have no hutband. Jefus faid unto her, Thou haft well faid, I have no husband: 18 For thou haft had five husbands, and he whom thou now haft is not thy husband: in that faidit thou truly. 19 The woman faith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worthipped in this mountain; and ye fay, That in Jerufalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jefus faith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye thall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerufalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for falvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worthippers thall worship the Father in fpirit and in tuth: for the Father feeketh fuch to worthip him, 24 God is a fotrit: and they that worship him, mult woritap kim in spirit and in truth. 26 Jetus faith unto her, I that peak unt thee am be. 27 And upon this came his difciples and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man faid, What feekeft thou? or, Why talkert thou wth her. 23 The woman then left her water-pot, and went her way into the city, and faith to the men, 29 Come, fee a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Chrift? 30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him. 31 In the mean-while his difciples prayed him, faying, Mafter, cat. 32 But he faid unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. 33 Theretore faid the difciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat 34 Jefus faith unto them, My meat is to de the will of him that fent me, and to finish his work. 35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harveft? behold, I fay unto you, Litt up your eyes, and look on the helds; for they are white already to harveft. 36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that foweth, and he that reapeth, may rejoice together. 37 And herein is that saying true, One fow. eth, and another reapeth. 38 I fent you to reap that whereon ye be flowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours. 39 ¶ And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the faying of the woman, which teftified, He told me all that ever1 did. 40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they befought him that he would tarry with them and he abode there two days. 41 And many more believed because of his own word; 42 And faid unto the woman, Now we be lieve, not because of thy faying: for we have beard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Chrift, the Saviour of the world. 43 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee: 44 For Jefus himfelt teftified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country. Galileans received him, having feen all the things that he did at Jerufalem at the feaft : for they alfo wentunto the feaft. 45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the 46 So Jefus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine.
