Mark 2:15-17, John 4:3-29, and 1 more

  1. Mark 2:15-17

    Jesus eats with publicans and sinners at Matthew's house. The Pharisees question Him about this, and He challenges them.

    1. 15 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.
    2. 16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?
    3. 17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

  2. John 4:3-29

    Jesus speaks with a Samaritan woman at the well outside Sychar

    1. 3 He left Judæa, and departed again into Galilee.
    2. 4 And he must needs go through Samaria.
    3. 5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
    4. 6 Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
    5. 7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
    6. 8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
    7. 9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
    8. 10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
    9. 11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
    10. 12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
    11. 13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
    12. 14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
    13. 15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
    14. 16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
    15. 17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
    16. 18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
    17. 19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
    18. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
    19. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
    20. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
    21. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
    22. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
    23. 25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
    24. 26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
    25. 27 ¶ And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
    26. 28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
    27. 29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

  3. John 4:31-34

    Jesus' disciples offer Him food, but He is more concerned with His work

    1. 31 ¶ In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
    2. 32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
    3. 33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
    4. 34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
