The Book of Jesus Chapter Three: The life of Jesus from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John in easy-to-read, chronological format.
JOHN the BAPTIST.
A man cannot receive anything unless it has been given him from Heaven. You yourselves can attest to the fact that I said; 'I am not
the Christ, but that I am the one who has been sent before him.' The man who has the bride is the bridegroom. This, my joy, is
therefore complete.
He must increase, but I must decrease. He who comes from above is above all others. He who is born of the earth is earthly himself
and speaks of things of the earth. He that comes from Heaven, is above everything and what he has seen and heard is what he testifies
to regardless of whether his testimony is accepted or not. The person who has accepted his testimony has set his seal to the fact that
God is truthful. For the one whom God has sent speaks the Words of God and God does not give the Spirit to him by measure. The
Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand. The person who believes on the Son has everlasting life. But anyone who
does not believe on the Son will not see life, and the wrath of God remains on him.
John 3:22-36

The Samaritan Woman At The Well
NARRATOR.
When Jesus heard that the Pharisees had found out that he was baptizing more disciples than John; although in fact, Jesus did not
personally baptize people, but his disciples; he left Judaea and went back again into Galilee. This meant that he had to go through
Samaria. On his way, he came to a city in Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of land that Jacob had given to his son, Joseph.
Jacob's well was there and Jesus, being tired from his journey, sat right down on the well. It was about noon, the sixth hour. A
Samaritan woman came to draw water and Jesus said to her:
JESUS.
Give me a drink.
NARRATOR.
His disciples had gone into the city to buy food. The Samaritan woman said to him:
SAMARITAN WOMAN.
How is it that you, being a Jew are asking me, a woman of Samaria, for something to drink? The Jews don't have anything to do with
the Samaritans.
JESUS.
If you knew the gift of God and who it is who is saying to you, 'Give me a drink', you would have asked of him and he would have
given you living water.
SAMARITAN WOMAN.
Sir, you don't have anything to draw the water with and the well is deep. From where then do you have that living water? Are you
greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, and his children and his cattle?
JESUS.
Whoever drinks of this water will get thirsty again. But anyone who drinks of the water that I will give him, will never get thirsty
again. The water that I shall give him will be a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
SAMARITAN WOMAN.
Sir, give me this water so that I will never get thirsty and never have to come here to draw water.
JESUS.
Go, call your husband and come back here.
SAMARITAN WOMAN.
I don't have a husband.
JESUS.
You have spoken correctly when you said, 'I don't have a husband.' You have had five husbands and the man you have now is not
your husband, in that you spoke the truth.
SAMARITAN WOMAN.
Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. Our fathers worshipped on this mountain and yet, you say that Jerusalem is the place where one
ought to worship.
