29 'Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ ?'
30 They came out of the town and made their way toward him.
31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, 'Rabbi, eat something.'
32 But he said to them, 'I have food to eat that you know nothing about.'
33 Then his disciples said to each other, 'Could someone have brought him food?'
34 'My food,' said Jesus, 'is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.
35 Do you not say, 'Four months more and then the harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.
36 Even now the reaper draws his wages, even now he harvests the crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together.
37 Thus the saying 'One sows and another reaps' is true.
38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.'
39 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, 'He told me everything I ever did.'
40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days.
41 And because of his words many more became believers.
42 They said to the woman, 'We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.'
43 After the two days he left for Galilee.
44 (Now Jesus himself had pointed out that a prophet has no honor in his own country.)
45 When he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, for they also had been there.
46 Once more he visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum.
47 When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death.
48 'Unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders,' Jesus told him, 'you will never believe.'
49 The royal official said, 'Sir, come down before my child dies.'
50 Jesus replied, 'You may go. Your son will live.' The man took Jesus at his word and departed.
51 While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living.
52 When he inquired as to the time when his son got better, they said to him, 'The fever left him yesterday at the seventh hour.'
53 Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, 'Your son will live.' So he and all his household believed.
54 This was the second miraculous sign that Jesus performed, having come from Judea to Galilee.
5 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for a feast of the Jews.
2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades.
3 Here a great number of disabled people used to lie--the blind, the lame, the paralyzed.
5 One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, 'Do you want to get well?'
7 'Sir,' the invalid replied, 'I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.'
8 Then Jesus said to him, 'Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.'
9 At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. The day on which this took place was a Sabbath,
10 and so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, 'It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat.'
11 But he replied, 'The man who made me well said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk.' '
