John 4:37-50 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

37. For in this the word is true: that it is one who sows, and it is another who reaps.

38. I have sent you to reap that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labors."

39. Now many of the Samaritans from that city believed in him, because of the word of the woman who was offering testimony: "For he told me all the things that I have done."

40. Therefore, when the Samaritans had come to him, they petitioned him to lodge there. And he lodged there for two days.

41. And many more believed in him, because of his own word.

42. And they said to the woman: "Now we believe, not because of your speech, but because we ourselves have heard him, and so we know that he is truly the Savior of the world."

43. Then, after two days, he departed from there, and he traveled into Galilee.

44. For Jesus himself offered testimony that a Prophet has no honor in his own country.

45. And so, when he had arrived in Galilee, the Galileans received him, because they had seen all that he had done at Jerusalem, in the day of the feast. For they also went to the feast day.

46. Then he went again into Cana of Galilee, where he made water into wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

47. Since he had heard that Jesus came to Galilee from Judea, he sent to him and begged him to come down and heal his son. For he was beginning to die.

48. Therefore, Jesus said to him, "Unless you have seen signs and wonders, you do not believe."

49. The ruler said to him, "Lord, come down before my son dies."

50. Jesus said to him, "Go, your son lives." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and so he went away.
