In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.

Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, "eat something."

John 4:33

But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.

"I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know."

John 4:34

Jesus saith to them: My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, that I may perfect his work.

And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

John 4:38

I have sent you to reap that in which you did not labour: others have laboured, and you have entered into their labours.

And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

For it is in this that you see the real meaning of the saying, `The sower is one person, and the reaper is another.'

John 4:39

Now of that city many of the Samaritans believed in him, for the word of the woman giving testimony: He told me all things whatsoever I have done.

I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.

John 4:41

When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.

John 4:42

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.

and they said to the woman, "We no longer believe in Him simply because of your statements; for we have now heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Saviour of the world."

John 4:44

John 4:45

John 4:47

He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him, and prayed him to come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.

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.

So He came once more to Cana in Galilee, where He had made the water into wine. Now there was a certain officer of the King's court whose son was ill at Capernaum.

John 4:48

Jesus therefore said to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not.

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.

John 4:49

John 4:51

And as he was going down, his servants met him; and they brought word, saying, that his son lived.

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.

John 4:52

He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.

And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.

and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.

John 4:53

The father therefore knew, that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth; and himself believed, and his whole house.

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.

So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "the fever left him."

John 4:54

This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea into Galilee.

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.

Then the father recollected that that was the time at which Jesus had said to him, "Your son has recovered," and he and his whole household became believers.
