The Book of Jesus Chapter Three: The life of Jesus from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John in easy-to-read, chronological format.
JESUS.
Believe me woman, the hour is coming, when you will worship the Father neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You worship
what you don't know, for salvation comes from the Jews. But the hour is coming, in fact it is already here, when the true worshippers
will worship the Father in Spirit and truth. For the Father looks for that type of person to worship him. God is a Spirit and those who
worship him, must worship in Spirit and truth.
SAMARITAN WOMAN.
I know that Messiah, who is called Christ, is coming and when he comes, he will tell us everything.
JESUS.
I who am speaking to you, I am he.
NARRATOR.
At this point his disciples returned and were surprised that he was speaking to the woman. Although none of them asked; 'What do
you want from her?' or 'Why are you talking to her?' The woman then left her water jar and went back into the city and said to the
men:
SAMARITAN WOMAN.
Come and see a man who told me everything I had done; isn't this the Christ?
NARRATOR.
They immediately went out of the city and came to Jesus. Meanwhile, his disciples urged him:
DISCIPLES.
Master, have something to eat.
JESUS.
I have food to eat that you don't know of.
NARRATOR.
The disciples therefore said to one another:
DISCIPLES.
Did someone (else) bring (him) something to eat?
JESUS.
My food is to do the will of Him that sent me and to finish His work. Don't you have a saying, 'There are still four months left before
the harvest.' Look, I'm telling you; lift up your eyes and look on the fields, for they are already white and ready for harvest. Already
the reaper is being paid his wages and he is bringing in the grain for eternal life and thus both the person who sows and the person
who reaps may rejoice together. For in this, the saying holds true, one sows and another reaps. I sent you to reap something that you
had not worked for, other men labored and you are receiving the benefits of their work.
NARRATOR.
Many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him as a result of the woman's testimony, 'he told me everything I had ever done.' So
when the Samaritans were brought to him, they begged him to stay with them a while. He stayed for two days and many more
believed because of his own word and they said to the woman:
PEOPLE.
Now we believe, not because of what you said, but because we've heard him ourselves and know that this is indeed the Christ, the
Saviour of the world.
John 4:1-42

NARRATOR.
Now after the two days were over, Jesus left there for Galilee. For Jesus himself had declared that a prophet has no honor in his own
country. But when he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans received him well, having seen all the things that he had done at Jerusalem at
the festival which they also had attended. Jesus went again to Cana in Galilee where he had changed the water into wine. Now there
was a court official there whose son was ill at Capernaum and hearing that Jesus had left Judaea and was now in Galilee, he went and
asked him if he would come down and cure his son as he was at the point of death.
