And it was necessary that He should go through Samaria. He cometh, therefore, to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph; and Jacob's well was there. Jesus, therefore, being wearied with His journey, was sitting thus at the well. It was about the sixth hour. There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith to her, "Give Me to drink." For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy bread. The Samaritan woman, therefore, says to Him, "How is it that Thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans). Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the Gift of God, and Who it is, That saith to you 'Give Me to drink,' you would have asked of Him, and He would have given you living water." She says to Him, "Sir, Thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Whence, therefore, hast Thou the living water Art Thou greater than our Father Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself drank of it, and his sons, and his cattle?" Jesus answered and said to her, "Every one who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whosoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up into eternal life." The woman saith to Him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, neither come all the way hither to draw." He saith to her, "Go, call your husband, and come hither." The woman answered and said, "I have no husband." Jesus saith to her, "Well did you say, 'I have no husband;' for you have had five husbands, and he whom you now have is not your husband: this you have said truly." The woman says to Him, "Sir, I perceive that Thou art a Prophet. Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship." Jesus saith to her, "Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when ye will, neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. Ye worship ye know not what; we know what we worship, because salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for, indeed, the Father seeketh such to be His worshipers. God is a spirit; and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." The woman says to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming, Who is called Christ; when He cometh, He will tell us all things." Jesus saith to her, "I who speak to you am He." And upon this came His disciples: and they were wondering that He was talking with a woman; yet no one said, "What seekest Thou?" or, "Why talkest Thou with her?" The woman, therefore, left her waterjar, and went away into the city, and says to the men, "Come, see a Man Who told me all things that I ever did: can This be the Christ?" They went forth out of the city, and were coming to Him. In the meantime the disciples were entreating Him, saying, "Rabbi, eat." But He said to them, "I have food to eat that ye know not of." The disciples, therefore, said to one another, "Has any one brought Him anything to eat?" Jesus saith to them, "My food is to do the will of Him Who sent Me, and to finish His work. Say not ye, 'There are yet four months, and the harvest is coming?' Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and view the fields, because they are white for harvest. He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit unto life eternal; that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together. For in this is the saying true, 'One sows, and another reaps.' I sent you to reap that on which ye bestowed no labor; others have labored, and ye entered into their labor." And many of the Samaritans from that city believed on Him because of the word of the woman, who testified, "He told me all that ever I did." When, therefore, the Samaritans came to Him, they kept asking Him to abide with them: and He abode there two days. And many more believed because of His word; and they said to the woman, "Now we no longer believe because of your saying; for we ourselves have heard, and know that This is, in truth, the Savior of the world."

and there was much joy in that city. But a certain man, Simon by name, was in the city before, using sorcery, and astonishing the nation of Samaria, affirming himself to be some great one; to whom all were giving heed, from small to great, saying, "This man is the power of God, which is called Great." And they were giving heed to him, because of his having for a long time amazed them with his sorceries. But, when they believed Philip proclaiming the glad tidings concerning the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were being immersed, both men and women. And Simon also himself believed; and, having been immersed, he was adhering closely to Philip; and, beholding the signs and great miracles being done, he was amazed. Now the apostles in Jerusalem, hearing that Samaria had received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John; who, indeed, having come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit; for as yet He had fallen upon no one of them, but they had only been immersed in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. Now Simon, seeing that through the laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, offered them money, saying, "Give me also this authority, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit." But Peter said to him, "Your money perish with you, because you thought to acquire the gift of God with money! You have no part nor lot in this matter; for your heart is not right before God. Repent, therefore, of this your wickedness, and entreat the Lord, if, perhaps, the thought of your heart may be forgiven you; for I see that you are in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity." And Simon answered and said, "Pray ye to the Lord in my behalf, that none of the things which ye have spoken may come upon me." They, therefore, having fully testified and spoken the word of the Lord, were returning to Jerusalem, and preaching the Gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.
