New Testament

John 4:37-48 English Standard Version (ESV)

37. For here the saying holds true, ‘One sows and another reaps.’

38. I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”

39. Many Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me all that I ever did.”

40. So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.

41. And many more believed because of his word.

42. They said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Savior of the world.”

43. After the two days he departed for Galilee.

44. (For Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.)

45. So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast. For they too had gone to the feast.

46. So he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And at Capernaum there was an official whose son was ill.

47. When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.

48. So Jesus said to him, “Unless yousee signs and wonders you will not believe.”
