Text for reading 

8. Who drinks the water of the Gospel will never be thirsty - When Jesus knew how the Pharisees had heard that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John, though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples, the Master left Judea and departed again to Galilee. It was then, having to go through Samaria, Jesus went to the Samaritan town of Sychar, near the homestead that Jacob gave to his son Joseph Facing the fountain of Jacob, Jesus sat down, tired from the trip. It was about noon, when a Samaritan woman drew water from the source and asked Jesus to drink. The woman was surprised by the request, because the Jews did not speak to Samaritans. The two then conversed and, ultimately, Jesus told the Samaritan woman: "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty. But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst because the water I give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life." (John 4:1 and 4:14.) 

9. One day the Father will be worshiped in spirit and truth, anywhere - When you hear Jesus say that whoever drank the water of the Gospel would never have established the Samaritan woman asked him, "Lord, give me this water so that no more is thirsty, neither come hither to draw. " Jesus asked him to call first, your husband and then come to him. She said she had no husband. "You said well, I have no husband - Jesus said -: for thou hast had five husbands, and now hast is not thy husband: it was truly said." Surprised, the woman remarked: "Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet." It was then, responding to a question from the Samaritan, the GM said that there will come a day when the Father is worshiped in spirit and truth, anywhere, not only in Jerusalem. (John 4:15 to 4:24.) 

10. Jesus said his food is to do the will of the Father who sent him - Following Jesus told the Samaritan woman that he was the promised Messiah. The woman left her water jar and went to town, where he told people: "Come see a man who told me everything I ever did. Is not this the Christ? "They then went to Jesus whom the disciples asked him to eat, but he did not attend, explaining:" I have food to eat that ye know not." He added: "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish his work. Do you not say that there are still four months until the harvest comes? Behold I say unto you, Lift up your eyes and look at the fields that are already white for harvest. And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit unto life eternal: that both he that sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. Because it is the saying true, that is what one sows and another reaps." Many of the Samaritans of that city ended up believing in Jesus, the word of the woman who testified, "He told me everything I ever did." So they begged him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days. Many more, then, believed in him because of his word, and said to the woman: "It is not of thy saying we believe, because we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world". Dali Jesus went to Galilee, where the Galileans received him, having seen all the things he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went to the feast. (John 4:25 to 4:45.)

Answers to questions 

1. The synoptic Gospels - written by Matthew, Mark and Luke - have no baptizing Jesus. According to the Evangelist John, the Master baptized?  

No. John is very clear to say that Jesus himself baptized not, but only his disciples. (John 4:1 and 4:2.)

2. What is the meaning of the words spoken by Jesus to the Samaritan woman to whom he asked for water at the fountain of Jacob?  

Jesus said: Whoever drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst because the water I give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life. The Master referred to the spiritual food that quenches the thirst of the soul and that comes from knowledge and practice the lessons of the Gospel. As we know, the person and evangelized in harmony with itself is stronger and healthier before any situation, even diseases. (John 4:3 to 4:14.) 

3. Jesus told the Samaritan woman that there will come a time when not on a hill, where they neither were, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father would be what does he mean by this teaching?  

According to Jesus, the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, and the Father seeks those who do so. His words show that you do not need a special place to revere our Father Neither place nor time, because our Father is present in our lives, at all times and everywhere we find ourselves. (John 4:19 to 4:23.)

4. God is Spirit? 

Yes, the phrase as recorded by John, God is spirit, and as such is to be worshiped. (John 4:19 to 4:24.) 

5. Going for a second time to Cana, where he made the water wine, Jesus encountered was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick, near death, in Capernaum. As Jesus proceeded to heal the boy?  

It was more of a distance healing by Jesus. The man had asked to Jesus: Lord, come down ere my child die. The Master said, "Go, thy son lives. The man believed what Jesus said, and left. Soon he reached his house, his servants approached and said, "Your son lives. And reported that improvement occurred the previous day, at seven o'clock, when the fever had ceased. He noted then that actually occurred in the same hour that Jesus had said, "Your son lives. (John 4:46 to 4:54.)
