LUKE
Luke 4:13-37
13 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit, into Galilee.
14 And there went out a fame of him through all the region round about;
15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all who believed on his name.
16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up; and as his custom was he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.
17 And there was delivered unto him, the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to heal the broken- hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and the recovering of sight to the blind; to set at liberty them that are bruised;
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and he sat down.
21 And the eyes of all those who were in the synagogue, were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, This day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears.
22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?
23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself. Whatsoever we have heard was done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
25 But I tell you the truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and great famine was throughout all the land;
26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, of Sidon, unto a woman who was a widow.
27 And many lepers were in Israel, in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them were cleansed, save Naaman the Syrian.
28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill, whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
30 But he, passing through the midst of them, went his way,
31 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the Sabbath days.
32 And they were astonished at his doctrine; for his words were with power.
33 And in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean devil, and he cried out with a loud voice,
34 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee, who thou art, The Holy One of God.
35 Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.
36 And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.
37 And the fame of him went out in every place round about.
JOHN
John 4:6-44
6 And said unto his disciples, I must needs go through Samaria.
7 Then he cometh to the city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground which Jacob gave to his son Joseph; the place where Jacob’s well was.
8 Now Jesus being weary with his journey, it being about the sixth hour, sat down on the well;
9 And there came a woman of Samaria to draw water; Jesus said unto her, Give me to drink.
10 Now his disciples were gone away into the city to buy meat.
11 Wherefore he being alone, the woman of Samaria said unto him, How is it that thou being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a woman of Samaria? The Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
12 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, thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
13 The woman said unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; from whence then hast thou that living water?
14 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
15 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever shall drink of this well, shall thirst again;
16 But whosoever drinketh of the water which I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
17 The woman said unto him, Sir, give me of this water that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
18 Jesus said unto her, Go, call thy husband and come hither.
19 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband.
20 For thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband; in that saidst thou truly.
21 The woman said unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
22 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
23 Jesus said unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
24 Ye worship ye know not what; we know what we worship; and salvation is of the Jews.
25 And the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
26 For unto such hath God promised his Spirit. And they who worship him, must worship in spirit and in truth.
27 The woman said unto him, I know that Messias cometh, who is called Christ; when he is come, he will tell us all things.
28 Jesus said unto her, I who speak unto thee am the Messias.
29 And upon this came his disciples, and marveled that he talked with the woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
30 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and said to the men,
31 Come see a man who told me all things that I have ever done. Is not this the Christ?
32 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
33 In the mean time his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
34 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
35 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him meat to eat?
36 Jesus said unto them, My meat is to do the will of him who sent me, and to finish his work.
37 Say not ye there are yet four months, then cometh harvest? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
38 And he who reapeth, receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that both he who soweth, and he who reapeth, may rejoice together.
39 And herein is that saying true, One soweth and another reapeth.
40 I have sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labor; the prophets have labored, and ye have entered into their labors.
41 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, who testified, saying, He told me all that I have ever done.
42 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them; and he abode there two days.
43 And many more believed because of his own word;
44 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying; we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.
