Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, John by R F Weymouth
page 12 of 69 (17%)
`The sower is one person, and the reaper is another.'
004:038 I sent you to reap a harvest which is not the result of your
own labours. Others have laboured, and you are getting
benefit from their labours."
004:039 Of the Samaritan population of that town a good many believed
in Him because of the woman's statement when she declared,
"He has told me all that I have ever done."
004:040 When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on
all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
004:041 Then a far larger number of people believed because of
His own words,
004:042 and they said to the woman, "We no longer believe in Him simply
because of your statements; for we have now heard for ourselves,
and we know that this man really is the Saviour of the world."
004:043 After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee;
004:044 though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour
in his own country.
004:045 When however He reached Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed
Him eagerly, having been eye-witnesses of all that He had
done in Jerusalem at the Festival; for they also had been
to the Festival.
004:046 So He came once more to Cana in Galilee, where He had made
the water into wine. Now there was a certain officer
of the King's court whose son was ill at Capernaum.
004:047 Having heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee,
he came to Him and begged Him to go down and cure his son;
for he was at the point of death.
004:048 "Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus,
"nothing will induce you to believe."
004:049 "Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."
