1.When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
2.(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
3.He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
4.And he must needs go through Samaria.
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.
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.
7.There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
8.(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
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.
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.
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?
12.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 thirst again:
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.
15.The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
16.Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17.The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
18.For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
19.The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20.Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
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.
22.Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
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.
24.God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
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.
26.Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
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?
28.The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
29.Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
30.Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
31.In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
32.But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
33.Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
34.Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
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.
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.
37.And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
38.I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed 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 saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
40.So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought 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 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.
43.Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
44.For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
45.Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
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 Capernaum.
47.When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
48.Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
49.The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
50.Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.
51.And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.
52.Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
53.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.
54.This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
John Chapter 4 summary
Jesus led many people to Galalie and Judea. This was due to more people getting baptized than when John was baptizing people. He did the miracle of turning water into wine. The water was also made so that if you drink the water you will never thirst. Jesus is the messiah that came to earth to help heal people and save them from sin.
Poem for John chapter 4 Women’s well experience by Face to Face.
The FIRST seemed right, eventually he turned out to be a scam, didn’t care…
He used me whenever he liked and when I needed his attention he wasn’t there…
Then I met the SECOND, he was strong, protective, firm, and held me dearly…
Was deeply in love till he literally beat away the feelings, then I saw clearly…
Couldn’t take it any longer, so I went to see a diviner I felt this wasn’t ordinary…
He became my THIRD, being very religious he was quickly loved by my family…
Two years later after what seemed like the perfect predestined union…
Discovered he had been married with 3 kids, he was deceptive like a demon…
We had a divorce, but devastated and alone I fell in love with my best friend…
Didn’t see it coming, but he was my FOURTH and it seemed like it’ll never end…
We had two kids together until he started acting strange, coming back late at night…
He turned out to be a drunkard and that was the beginning of our fights…
Two weeks later, deciding to start all over, I relocated thinking it’ll solve my problem…
At a bar, I met my FIFTH who had a charismatic charm and an enthralling emblem…
Three weeks later, feeling devastated and empty I picked up a knife almost slitting my throat…
Because he packed his things and left the house without saying a word or dropping a note…
I held on, deciding that all men were the same, resigned to commitment and love, staying strong…
But they all couldn’t resist my charm, so I consented to the SIXTH just for the fun…
He wasn’t satisfying, so I left to live with the SEVENTH, my friend whose wife was out of town…
Feeling useless, totally giving up on myself in thought as I went fetch water from the well downtown…
Sitting beside the well was a man so pure, his eyes sparkled as I watched him blink…
Amazed as his heart piercing voice echoed in my ears, “Will you give me a drink”…
We obviously have different interests, I suggest you mind your business; I said intending to play hard…
He said, “You would have asked if you knew that I am the fountain that never runs dry…
“Yes, you’ve been fetching from different streams in your quest for fulfillment and satisfaction…
“But I offer a free limitless life, my breath, the birth of a new dawn, and answers to your questions”…
The warmth of his presence and the love he expressed was different from what I’ve ever felt…
Assuring me of the permanent satisfaction I’ll find in him, he told me all about myself…
Even in his absolute perfection he never condemned me…
Assuring me of salvation and how faith in him would change me…
But then the laws and traditions seemed to me like criteria for my redemption…
Then He said, “True worshippers are born of the spirit for I have broken the walls of partition”…
It was all I wanted, the years of searching and bondage had ended…
All the scars of my past were healed and at that moment I decided…
I met Jesus beside Jacob’s well, He proposed and I yielded…
It’s been over 200 decades, our union transcends time, its eternal and that’s all I ever needed…
My encounter at that well…
Repaired my past, enhanced my present, and secured my future.
Prayer for John Chapter 4
Heavenly Father, thank You that You sought me out, when I was dead in my sins and sinking deep into the miry pit of sin, self, selfishness and seduction. Thank You that Jesus is the living water, in Whom alone are the words of eternal life and that in Him I have been made a new creation. Thank You that You searched me out by convicting me of sin, of righteousness and of judgement – so that by faith in Christ I have received Your free gift of salvation. May Your rivers of living water flow out through me to others, who are in need of Your forgiveness – in Jesus name I pray, AMEN.
