43:003:023 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near
to Salim, because
there
was much water there: and they came, and were
baptized.
43:003:024 For John was not yet cast into prison.
43:003:025 Then there arose a question between some
of John’s disciples
and
the Jews about purifying.
43:003:026 And they came unto John, and said unto
him, Rabbi, he that was
with
thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold,
the
same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
43:003:027 John answered and said, A man can receive
nothing, except it
be
given him from heaven.
43:003:028 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said,
I am not the
Christ,
but that I am sent before him.
43:003:029 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom:
but the friend of
the
bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth
greatly
because of the bridegroom’s voice: this
my joy
therefore
is fulfilled.
43:003:030 He must increase, but I must decrease.
43:003:031 He that cometh from above is above all:
he that is of the
earth
is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that
cometh
from
heaven is above all.
43:003:032 And what he hath seen and heard, that he
testifieth; and no
man
receiveth his testimony.
43:003:033 He that hath received his testimony hath
set to his seal that
God
is true.
43:003:034 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the
words of God: for God
giveth
not the Spirit by measure unto him.
43:003:035 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given
all things into his
hand.
43:003:036 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting
life: and he
that
believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath
of
God abideth on him.
43:004:001 When therefore the lord knew how the
Pharisees had heard that
Jesus
made and baptized more disciples than John,
43:004:002 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
43:004:003 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
43:004:004 And he must needs go through Samaria.
43:004:005 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.
43:004:006 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.
43:004:007 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw
water: Jesus saith
unto
her, Give me to drink.
43:004:008 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
43:004:009 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.
