Thereupon his disciples came and were surprised that he had been talking to a woman, but no one said: What are you looking for? Or: Why are you talking with her? Then the woman left her water jar and went off to the city, and said to the people: Come and see a man who told me everything I have done. Might he not be the Christ? They went forth from the city and came to him. In the meanwhile his disciples questioned him and said to him: Master, eat. But he said to them: I have food to eat which you do not know of. So the disciples said to each other: Could someone have brought him something to eat? Jesus said to them: My food is to do the will of him who sent me and finish his work. Do you not say: There are four more months, and then comes the harvest? But see, I tell you, raise up your eyes and look at the fields, see that they are white for harvesting. And now he who reaps takes his wages and gathers the crop for everlasting life, so that sower and reaper alike can be happy. For in this matter it is true to say that the sower is one person and the reaper another. I sent you to harvest what you never labored on. Others labored, and you came in upon their labor.
And many Samaritans from that city believed in him because of what the woman said when she testified: He told me everything I have done. So when the Samaritans came to him they invited him to stay with them, and he stayed there for two days. And many more believed in him because of what he himself said, and they said to the woman: It is no longer because of your talk that we believe; we ourselves have heard, and we know that this is truly the savior of the world.
At the end of the two days he went from there to Galilee; for Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country. But when he came to Galilee the Galilaeans welcomed him, for they had seen what he did in Jerusalem at the festival, since they had themselves gone to the festival. So then he returned to Cana in Galilee where he had made the water into wine. And there was a certain prince, whose son was sick, in Capernaum. This man, hearing that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee, went to him and asked him to come to his house and heal his son, for he was going to die. Then Jesus said to him: Unless you see miracles and wonders, you will not believe. But the prince said to him: Lord, come to my house before my little boy dies. Jesus said to him: Go on your way; your son lives. The man believed in the word Jesus had spoken to him and went on his way. And just as he was coming home his slaves met him saying that his son was alive. So he asked them at what hour he had got better; and they said: Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. So the father realized that it was at the time when Jesus had said: Your son lives; and he, with all his household, believed. This was the second miracle Jesus performed, when he came from Judaea to Galilee.
tl After that, there was a festival of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate there is a pool for which the name in Hebrew is Bethzatha. It has five porches. There would lie a crowd of afflicted people, blind, lame, paralyzed, [waiting for the water to be disturbed. For an angel of the Lord would come down to the pool from time to time, and the water would be disturbed. And whoever was first to enter the pool after the disturbing of the water would be healed of the infirmity that afflicted him]. There was one man there who had had his sickness for thirty-eight years. And seeing him lying there, and knowing that he had had it for a long time, Jesus said to him: Do you wish to be healthy? The sick man answered: Lord, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is disturbed; and while I am on my way someone else gets there ahead of me. Jesus said to him: Arise, take up your bed, and walk. And immediately the man was healthy, and he took up his bed and walked. It was the sabbath on that day; so the Jews said to the man who had been healed: It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to carry your bed. But he answered them: The man who made me healthy was the one who told me: Take up your bed and walk. They asked him: Which is the man who said to you: Take it up and walk? But the man who had been healed did not know who it was, since Jesus had disappeared into the crowd that was there. Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him: See, you have become healthy. Sin no more, lest it be the worse for you. The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him healthy. And that was why the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did this on the sabbath. But he answered them: Until now my father has been doing his work, and I too am doing my work. For this the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only was breaking the sabbath but even called God his own father, making himself the equal of God. But Jesus answered and told them: Truly truly I tell you, the son cannot do anything by himself unless he sees the father doing it; for what he does the son does likewise. For the father loves the son and shows him everything he himself does, and he will show him greater deeds than these for you to wonder at. For as the father wakes the dead and gives them life, so the son also gives life to whom he will. Nor does the father judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to his son, so that all may honor the son as they honor the father. He who does not honor the son does not honor the father who sent him. Truly truly I tell you that he who listens to my words and believes in him who sent me has life everlasting, and does not come to judgment, but has gone over from death to life. Truly truly I tell you, the time is coming, and it is now, when the dead shall hear the voice of the son of God, and those who have heard shall live. For as the father has life in himself, so he has given the son life to have in himself. And he gave him authority to pass judgment, because he is the son of man. Do not wonder at this, because the hour is coming when those who are in the graves will hear his voice and come out, those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment. I cannot do anything by myself. I judge as I hear, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will but the will of him who sent me. If I testify about myself, my testimony is not true; he who testifies about me is someone else, and I know that the testimony he gives about me is true. You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth; but I do not take my testimony from man, but I say this so that you may be saved. He was the lamp that burns and shines, and you wished to exult for a time in his light; but I have testimony greater than John's, for the works that my father gave me, for me to fulfill them, these same works that I do, testify concerning me that the father sent me, and the father who sent me has testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice or seen his shape, and you do not have his word remaining among you, because you do not believe the one he sent to you. You search the scriptures, because you think they have life everlasting in them; and it is they who testify to me; and you are not willing to come to me to have life. I do not receive glory from men; but I know you and that you do not have the love of God in you. I came in the name of my father and you do not accept me; if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him. How can you believe, when you receive your glory from each other, and do not look for the glory that comes from God alone? Do not suppose that I shall accuse you to my father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you put your hopes. If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me. But if you do not believe his writings, how shall you believe my sayings?
