And it was necessary that he should pass through Samaria. He came, therefore, to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the lot which Jacob gave his son Joseph. And Jacob's well was there. Jesus, therefore, being fatigued with travelling sat thus by the well; it was about the sixth hour [noon]. A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, Give me a drink; for his disciples had gone away into the city to buy provisions. Then the Samaritan woman said to him, How do you, being a Jew, ask a drink of me, who am a Samaritan? for the Jews do no business with the Samaritans. Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, Give me a drink, you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water. The woman said to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; whence then have you the living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and who drank of it himself, and his sons, and his cattle? Jesus answered and said to her, Every one that drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water which I will give him shall never thirst; but the water which I will give him shall be in him a fountain of water springing up to eternal life. The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, nor come here to draw. He said to her, Go and call your husband, and come here. The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have said well, I have no husband; for you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband. In this you have spoken truly. The woman said to him, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and you say that Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. Jesus said to her, Believe me, woman, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, you shall worship the Father. You worship what you know not; we worship what we know; for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father seeks such to worship him. God is a Spirit, and those that worship him must worship in spirit and truth. The woman said to him, I know that the Messiah is coming, called Christ; when he comes he will tell us all things. Jesus said to her, I that speak to you am [the Messiah]. And upon this his disciples came, and wondered that he talked with the woman; but no one said to him, What do you seek? or why do you talk with her? Then the woman left her bucket, and went to the city, and said to the men, Come and see a man who has told me all things which I have done; is this the Christ? They came out from the city and came to him. In the meantime the disciples asked him saying, Rabbi, eat. But he said to them, I have food to eat which you know not of. Then the disciples said one to another, Has any one brought him food to eat? Jesus said to them, My food is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. Do you not say, There are yet four months, and the harvest comes? behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and see the fields; for they are white for a harvest. Already he that reaps receives wages and gathers fruit for life eternal, that he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together. For in this is the saying true; He that sows is one, and he that reaps is another. I have sent you to reap that on which you have not labored; others have labored and you have entered into their labor. And many of the Samaritans in that city believed on him, on account of the word of the woman, testifying, He told me all things which I have done. When, therefore, the Samaritans came to him, they desired him to remain with them; and he remained there two days. And many more believed on account of his word, and said to the woman, We no longer believe on account of your report, for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is truly the Saviour of the world.

and there was great joy in that city. And there was a man by the name of Simon who formerly practised magic in that city, and astonished the nation of Samaria, saying that he was some great person, to whom all from the least to the greatest attended, saying, This is the power of God which is called great. And they attended to him because for a long time he had astonished them with his magic arts. But because they believed Philip preaching the good news of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women. And Simon also himself believed, and being baptized attended constantly on Philip; and beholding the mighty works and miracles that were performed, he was astonished. And the apostles at Jerusalem hearing that Samaria had received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John, who came down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit; for it had not yet fallen on any of them, only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit. And Simon seeing that the Holy Spirit was given by the imposition of the hands of the apostles, offered them money, saying, Give me this power, that on whomsoever I lay my hand he may receive the Holy Spirit. But Peter said to him, Your money go to perdition with you; because you have thought to purchase the gift of God with money. You have no part nor inheritance in this work; for your heart is not right before God. Turn your mind therefore from this your wickedness, and pray the Lord if perhaps the thought of your mind may be forgiven you; for I see you are in the gall of bitterness and bond of wickedness. And Simon answered and said, Pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have said may come upon me. They then having fully testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the good news to many villages of the Samaritans.
