18
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already,
because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19
And this is the
condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because
their deeds were evil.
20
For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light,
lest his deeds should be reproved.
21
But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may
be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
22
After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried
with them, and baptized.
23
And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there:
and they came, and were baptized.
24
For John was not yet cast into prison.
25
Then there arose a question between
some
of John’s disciples and the Jews about purifying.
26
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.
27
John answered
and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
28
Ye yourselves bear
me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29
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.
30
He must increase,
but I
must
decrease.
31
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.
32
And what he hath seen and heard,
that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
33
He that hath received his testimony hath
set to his seal that God is true.
34
For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God
giveth not the Spirit by measure
unto him.
35
The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things
into his hand.
36
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.
CHAPTER 4
When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more
disciples than John,
2
(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
3
He left Judaea, and
departed again into Galilee.
4
And he must needs go through Samaria.
5
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.
6
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.
7
There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith
unto her,
Give me to drink.
8
(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
9
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.
10
Jesus answered and
said unto her,
If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink;
