“After that, there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. And there is at Jerusalem by the place of the sheep, a pool called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches: In the which lay a great multitude of sick folk, of blind, halt, and withered, waiting for the moving of the […]

“The ruler said unto him [Jesus], ‘Sir, go down before my son die’. Jesus said unto him, ‘Go thy way, thy son lives’: and the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and went his way. And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, ‘Thy son lives’” (John 4:49-51 [1587 Geneva Version]).  […]

“So two days after he [Jesus Christ] departed thence [from Samaria], and went into Galilee. For Jesus himself had testified, that a Prophet hath none honour in his own country. Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, which had seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they went also unto […]

“Then when the Samaritans were come unto him [Christ], they besought him, that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days. And many more believed because of his own word. And they said unto the woman, ‘Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him our selves, and know that this […]

“‘For herein is the saying true, that one sows, and an other reaps. I sent you to reap that, whereon ye bestowed [did] no labour: other men labored, and ye are entered into their labors.’ Now many of the Samaritans of that city believed in him [Christ], for the saying of the woman [at the well] which testified, ‘He hath […]

“Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then comes harvest? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the regions: for they are white already unto harvest. And he that reaps, receives reward, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal, that both he that sows, and he that reaps, might rejoice […]

“Then they [disciples] went out of the city, and came unto him [Jesus]. In the meanwhile, the disciples prayed him, saying, ‘Master, eat.’ But he said unto them, ‘I have meat to eat that ye know not of’” (John 4:30-32 [1587 Geneva Version].  Father, Christ is the bread of life. No one may go to You except through Your Son. In Christ’s […]

“The woman said unto him, ‘I know well that Messias [Messiah] shall come which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.’ Jesus said unto her, ‘I am he, that speak unto thee’” (John 4:25, 26 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, we are grateful and full of joy that You sent Your only Son to […]

“God is a Spirit, and they that worship him, must worship him in spirit and truth” (John 4:24 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, please help us to never forget these words from Jesus. In Christ’s holy name we ask. Thank You~
