Jesus and the Samaritan Woman

1Assone as the Lorde had knowledge how the Pharises had hearde that Iesus made and baptised moo disciples then Iohn 2(though that Iesus him selfe baptised not: but his disciples) 3he lefte Iewry and departed agayne into Galile. 4And it was so that he must nedes goo thorowe Samaria. 5Then came he to a cyte of Samaria called Sichar besydes the possession that Iacob gave to his sonne Ioseph. 6And there was Iacobs well. Iesus then weryed in his iorney sate thus on the well. And it was about the sixte houre:

7and there came a woman of Samaria to drawe water. And Iesus sayde vnto her: geve me drynke. 8For his disciples were gone awaye vnto the toune to bye meate. 9Then sayde the woman of Samaria vnto him: how is it that thou beinge a Iewe axest drinke of me which am a Samaritane? for the Iewes medle not with the Samaritans. 10Iesus answered and sayde vnto hir: yf thou knewest the gyfte of God and who it is that sayeth to the geve me drynke thou woldest have axed of him and he wolde have geven the water of lyfe. 11The woman sayde vnto him. Syr thou hast no thinge to drawe with and the well is depe: from whence then hast thou yt water of lyfe? 12Arte thou greater then oure father Iacob which gave vs the well and he him silfe dranke therof and his chyldren and his catell? 13Iesus answered and sayde vnto hir: whosoever drinketh of this water shall thurst agayne. 14But whosoever shall drinke of ye water yt I shall geve him shall never be more a thyrst: but the water that I shall geve him shalbe in him a well of water springinge vp in to everlastinge lyfe.

15The woma sayd vnto him: Syr geve me of that water that I thyrst not nether come hedder to drawe. 16Iesus sayde vnto her. Go and call thy husband and come hydder. 17The woman answered and sayde to him: I have no husband. 18Iesus sayde to her. Thou hast well sayd I have no husbande. For thou haste had five husbandes and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband. That saydest thou truely. 19The woman sayde vnto him: Syr I perceave yt thou arte a prophet. 20Oure fathers worshipped in this mountayne: and ye saye that in Hierusalem is the place where men ought to worshippe. 21Iesus sayde vnto her: woman beleve me the houre cometh when ye shall nether in this moutayne nor yet at Ierusalem worshippe the father. 22Ye worshippe ye wot not what: we knowe what we worshippe. For salvacion cometh of the Iewes. 23But the houre commeth and nowe is when the true worshippers shall worshippe the father in sprete and in trouthe. For verely suche the father requyreth to worshippe him. 24God is a sprete and they that worshippe him must worshippe him in sprete and trouthe. 25The woman sayde vnto him: I wot well Messias shall come which is called Christ. When he is come he will tell vs all thinges. 26Iesus sayde vnto hir: I that speake vnto the am he.

The Disciples Return and Marvel

27And eve at that poynte came his disciples and marvelled that he talked with the woman. Yet no man sayde vnto him: what meanest thou or why talkest thou with her? 28The woma then lefte her waterpot and went her waye into the cite and sayde to the men. 29Come se a man which tolde me all thinges yt ever I dyd. Is not he Christ? 30Then they went ont of the cite and came vnto him.

31And in ye meane while his disciples prayed him sayinge: Master eate. 32He sayde vnto the: I have meate to eate that ye knowe not of. 33Then sayd ye disciples bitwene them selves: hath eny ma brought him meate? 34Iesus sayde vnto them: my meate is to doo the will of him that sent me. And to fynnysshe his worke. 35Saye not ye: there are yet foure monethes and then cometh harvest? Beholde I saye vnto you lyfte vp youre eyes and loke on ye regios: for they are whyte all redy vnto harvest. 36And he ye repeth receaveth rewarde and gaddereth frute vnto life eternall: that bothe he that soweth and he yt repeth myght reioyse to gether. 37And herin is the sayinge true yt one soweth and another repeth. 38I sent you to repe yt whero ye bestowed no laboure. Other men laboured and ye are entred into their labours.

Many Samaritans Believe

39Many of the Samaritas of that cyte beleved on him for ye sayinge of the woma which testified: he tolde me all thinges yt ever I dyd. 40Then when the Samaritas were come vnto him they besought him yt he wolde tary wt the. And he aboode there two dayes. 41And many moo beleved because of his awne wordes 42and sayd vnto the woman: Now we beleve not because of thy sayinge. For we have herde him oure selves and knowe that this is even in dede Christ the savioure of the worlde.

Jesus Heals the Official’s Son
(Matthew 8:5–13; Luke 7:1–10)

43After two dayes he departed thence and wet awaye into Galile. 44And Iesus him selfe testified that a Prophete hath none honoure in his awne countre. 45Then assone as he was come into Galile the Galileans receaved him which had sene all the thinges yt he dyd at Ierusalem at ye feast. For they wet also vnto ye feast daye.

46And Iesus came agayne into Cana of Galile wher he turned water into wyne. And ther was a certayne ruler whose sonne was sicke at Capernaum. 47Assone as the same herde that Iesus was come out of Iewry into Galile he wet vnto him and besought him yt he wolde descende and heale his sonne: For he was eve readie to dye. 48Then sayde Iesus vnto him: excepte ye se signes and wodres ye canot beleve. 49The ruler sayd vnto him: Syr come awaye or ever yt my chylde dye. 50Iesus sayde vnto him goo thy waye thy sonne liveth. And the ma bele ved ye wordes yt Iesus had spoke vnto him and wet his waye. 51And anone as he went on his waye his servantes met him and tolde him sayinge: thy chylde liveth. 52Then enquyred he of the the houre when he begane to amende. And they sayde vnto him: Yester daye the sevethe houre the fever lefte him. 53And the father knew that it was the same houre in which Iesus sayde vnto him: Thy sonne liveth. And he beleved and all his housholde. 54Thys is agayne the seconde myracle yt Iesus dyd after he was come oute of Iewry into Galile.
