And it behooved Him to go through Samaria. Then He comes into a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the place which Jacob gave to his son Joseph. And the well of Jacob was there. Then Jesus having become weary from the journey, was sitting thus by the well: it was about the sixth hour. A woman comes from Samaria to draw water. Jesus says to her, Give me to drink. For His disciples had gone into the city, that they might purchase food. A Samaritan woman says to Him, How do you, being a Jew, ask to drink from me, being a Samaritan woman? And Jesus responded and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and the one who is speaking to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water. The woman says to Him, Sir, thou hast no windlass, and the well is deep: whence hast thou living water? Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself and his sons, and his herds, drank of it? Jesus responded and said to her, Every one drinking of this water shall thirst again: but whosoever may drink of the water that I shall give to him shall never thirst; but the water which I shall give to him shall be in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life. Then the woman says to Him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw. He says to her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. The woman responded and said, I have no husband. Jesus says to her, Well didst thou say, I have no husband: for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: thou hast spoken this truly. The woman says to Him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where it behooveth to worship. Jesus says to her, Believe me, woman, that the hour cometh, you will worship the Father neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem. You worship, you know not what: we worship that which we know: because salvation is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such worshiping Him. God is a Spirit, and it behooveth those who worship Him to worship in spirit and in truth. The woman says to Him, I know that Messiah cometh (who is called Christ): when He may come, He will proclaim to us all things. Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee am He. And at this time His disciples came, and were wondering because He was speaking with the woman; no one said, What seekest thou? or, Why do you speak with her? Then the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and says to the men, Come hither, see the man who told me all things which I did: Is not He the Christ? They came out from the city, and came to Him. Meanwhile His disciples were asking Him, saying, Master eat. He said to them, I have meat to eat, which you know not. Then His disciples were speaking to one another, Whether has any one brought Him something to eat? Jesus says to them, My food is that I may do the will of Him that sent me, and finish His work. Do you not say, That it is yet four months, and the harvest cometh? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes and see the fields, because they are white unto the harvest already. He that reapeth receiveth reward, and gathereth fruit unto eternal life; in order that both the sower and the reaper may rejoice together. For in this the word is true, that there is one sowing, and another reaping. I have sent you to reap that upon which you have never labored: others have labored, and you have entered into their labor. But many of the Samaritans from that city believed on Him through the word of the woman, testifying that, He told me all things which I did. Then when the Samaritans came to Him they asked Him to abide with them: and He remained there two days: and many more believed on Him through His word; and they continued to say to the woman, We no longer believe through your talk; for we have heard and we know that He is truly the Savior of the world.

and there was great joy in that city. And a certain man, by name Simon, was formerly practicing magic in the city, and bewitching the nation of Samaria, saying that himself was some great man: to whom all from small even unto the great gave heed, saying, This one is the power of God, called Great. And they gave heed to him, because for a long time he had deceived them with his magic arts. But when they believed Philip preaching the gospel concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. But Simon himself also believed: and being baptized, was constantly with Philip, both seeing the miracles and the great dynamites performed, was astonished. But the apostles in Jerusalem, having heard that Samaria has received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John: who, having come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost. For he had not yet fallen on any of them: but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. But Simon seeing that by the laying on of the hands of the apostles the Spirit was given, offered them money, saying, Give me this power, that on whomsoever I may lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. And Peter said to him, Thy silver be unto destruction with thee, because thou hast thought to obtain the gift of God with money. There is neither part nor lot to thee in this word: for thy heart is not right before God. Therefore repent of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if perchance the thought of thy heart shall be forgiven thee; for I see thou art in the gall of bitterness and the bond of iniquity. And Simon responding said, You pray to the Lord for me, in order that none of these things of which you have spoken may come upon me. Then indeed, witnessing and speaking the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.
