St John 4:35-53 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

35. Do you not say, There are yet four months, and then the harvest cometh? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see the countries; for they are white already to harvest.

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

37. For in this is the saying true: That it is one man that soweth, and it is another that reapeth.

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

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.

40. So when the Samaritans were come to him, they desired that he would tarry there. And he abode there two days.

41. And many more believed in him because of his own word.

42. And they said to the woman: We now believe, not for thy saying: for we ourselves have heard him, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.

43. Now after two days, he departed thence, and went into Galilee.

44. For Jesus himself gave testimony that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

45. And when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things he had done at Jerusalem on the festival day; for they also went to the festival day.

46. He came again therefore into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capharnaum.

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.

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

49. The ruler saith to him: Lord, come down before that my son die.

50. Jesus saith to him: Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way.

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

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.

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.
