JOHN IV. 7 sixth hour. There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus 8 saith unto her, Give me to drink. (For his disciples were gone away unt 9 the city to buy meat.) 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 10 Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. 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 11 he would have given thee living water. The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast 12 thou that living water? Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? 13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall 14 thirst again: 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 15 well of water springing up into everlasting life. The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. 16 17 Jesus saith unto her, Go call thy husband, and come hither. The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast 18 well said, I have no husband:' for thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. 19 20 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the 21 place where men ought to worship. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. Ye worship ye know not what: we 23 know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit 24 and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: 25 and they that worship him, must worship him in spirit and in truth. The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ; 26 when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. 22 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 28 her? The woman then left her water-pot, and went her way into the city, 29 and saith to the men, Come, see a man which told me all things that ever 30 I did is not this the Christ? Then went they out of the city, and came unto him. 81 32 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. But 23 he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him aught to eat? 84 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to 35 finish his work. 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; 36 for they are white already to harvest. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth, and 37 he that reapeth, may rejoice together. And herein is that saying true, One 83 soweth, and another reapeth. I sent you to reap that where on ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours. And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying 40 of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did. So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry 41 with them: and he abode there two days. And many more believed be 39 JOHN IV. 12 cause of his own word; 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. § 26. Jesus teaches publicly in Galilee. JOHN IV. 43-45. 43 44 Now, after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee. For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country. 45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast. § 27. Jesus again at Cana, where he heals the son of a Nobleman lying ill at Capernaum.-CANA OF GALILEE. JOHN IV. 46-54. 46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at CaperWhen he heard that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee, he 47 naum. went unto him, and besought him that 48 son: for he was at the point of death. 49 ye see signs and wonders, ye will not 50 him, Sir, come down ere my child die. he would come down, and heal his Then said Jesus unto him, Except believe. The nobleman saith unto Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto 5. him, and he went his way. And as he was now going down, his servants 52 met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at 53 the seventh hour the fever left him. So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house. This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea into Galilee. $28. Jesus at Nazareth; he is there rejected; and fixes his abode at Caper naum. LUKE IV. 16-31. 16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, and stood up 17 for to read. And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it LUKE IV. 18 was written, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of 19 sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the 20 acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the 21 synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, This 22 day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son ? 23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in 24 thy country. And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted 25 in his own country. But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six 26 months, when great famine was throughout all the land: but unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman 27 that was a widow. b And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled 29 with wrath,' and rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill, whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down 30 headlong. But he, passing through the midst of them, went his way, and came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. 28 13 MATTH. IV. 13—16. And leaving Nazareth, he came 31 and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea-coast, in the borders of 14 Zabulon and Nephthalim;' that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by 15 Esaias the prophet, saying, The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles: 16 the people which sat in darkness, saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death, light is sprung up. $29. The call of Simon Peter and Andrew, and of James and John, with the miraculous draught of fishes.-NEAR CAPERNAUM. 1 LUKE V. 1-11. And it came to pass, that as the people pressed upon him to hear the 2 word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, and saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were 3 washing their nets. And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. 4 And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. Now, when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let 5 down your nets for a draught. Aud Simon answering, said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing; nevertheless, at thy word I will 6 let down the net. And when they had this done, they inclosed 18 MATT. IV. 18-22. And Jesus, walking 16 by the sea of Galilee, a 17, 18. Is. 61, 1. MARK 1. 16-20. Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he Comp Is. 58, 6. c 27. 2 K. 5, 14. MATTH. IV. saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishers. 19 And he should come and help them. And they came, and filled 8 both the ships, so that they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at 10 the draught of the fishes which they had taken: ' and so was also James and John the sons of Zebedee, which were them, Follow me, and MARK I. saith unto 17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers straightway left their 18 of men. And straightnets, and followed him. I will make you fishers 20 of men. And they partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not from henceforth thou shalt catch men. way they forsook their nets, and 19 followed him. And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the 20 ship mending their nets. And straightway he called them and they left " their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him. 21 And going on from thence, he saw 21 LUKE V. And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him § 30. The healing of a Demoniac in the Synagogue.-CAPERNaum. MARK I. 21-28. And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath-day LUKE IV. 31-37. he entered into the synagogue and 31—And taught them on the sabbath 22 taught. And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes. And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 4 saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the 25 Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, 6 and come out of him. And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came MARK I. 27 out of him. And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean 28 spirits, and they do obey him. And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee. LUKE IV. 36 out of him, and hurt him not. And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out. 37 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about. §31. The healing of Peter's wife's mother, and many others.-CAPERNAUM. MATTH. VIII. 14-17. 14 And when Jesus 29 15 16 15 was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her and she arose, and ministered unto them. When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, 30 31 32 MARK I. 29-34. And forthwith, when 38 LUKE IV. 38-41. And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him 39 for her. And he stood And at even when 40 the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils. and healed all that 33 And all the city was were sick; that it gathered together at 41 might be fulfilled which 34 the door. And he was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying," Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. healed many that were over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them. Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases, brought them unto him: and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he, rebuking them, suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ. §32.
