The Diatessaron (Section 21)

[1] Mark 7:31 And Jesus went out again from the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and came to the [2] sea of Galilee, towards the borders of Decapolis. Mark 7:32 And they brought unto him one dumb and deaf, and entreated him that he would lay his hand upon him and heal [3] him. Mark 7:33 And he drew him away from the multitude, and went away alone, and spat [4] upon his fingers, and thrust them into his ears, and touched his tongue; Mark 7:34 and looked [5] to heaven, and sighed, and said unto him, Be opened. Mark 7:35 And in that hour his ears [6] were opened, and the bond of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke with ease. Mark 7:36 And Jesus charged them much that they should not tell this to any man: but the more [7] he charged them, the more they increased in publishing, and marvelled much, Mark 7:37 and [Arabic, p. 82] said, This man does everything well: he made the deaf to hear, and those that lacked speech to speak.

[8, 9] John 4:4 And while he was passing through the land of Samaria, John 4:5 he came to one of the cities of the Samaritans, called Sychar, beside the field which Jacob gave to Joseph to [10] his son. John 4:6 And there was there a spring of water of Jacob's. And Jesus was fatigued from the exertion of the way, and sat at the spring. And the time was about the [11] sixth hour. John 4:7And a woman of Samaria came to draw water; and Jesus said unto [12] her, Give me water, that I may drink. John 4:8 And his disciples had entered into the city [13] to buy for themselves food. John 4:9 And that Samaritan woman said unto him, How do you, being a Jew, ask me to give you to drink, while I am a Samaritan woman? [14] John 4:10 (And the Jews mingle not with the Samaritans. ) Jesus answered and said unto her, If you knew the gift of God, and who this is that said unto you, Give me [15] to drink; you would ask him, and he would give you the water of life. John 4:11 That woman said unto him, My Lord, you have no bucket, and the well is deep: from [16] whence have you the water of life? John 4:12 Can it be that you are greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well, and drank from it, and his children, and his sheep? [17] John 4:13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinks of this water shall thirst [18] again: John 4:14 but whosoever drinks of the water which I shall give him shall not thirst for ever: but the water which I shall give him shall be in him a spring of water springing [19] up unto eternal life. John 4:15 That woman said unto him, My Lord, give me of this water, that [20] I may not thirst again, neither come and draw water from here. John 4:16 Jesus said unto her, [21] [Arabic, p. 83] Go and call your husband, and come hither. John 4:17 She said unto him, I have no [22] husband. John 4:18 Jesus said to her, You said well, I have no husband: five husbands have you had, and this man whom you have now is not your husband; and [23] in this you said truly. John 4:19 That woman said unto him, My Lord, I perceive you to [24] be a prophet. John 4:20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and you say that in Jerusalem [25] is the place in which worship must be. John 4:21 Jesus said unto her, Woman, believe me, an hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor yet in Jerusalem, shall you worship [26] the Father. John 4:22 You worship that which you know not: but we worship that which [27] we know: for salvation is of the Jews. John 4:23 But an hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: and the Father also [28] seeks such as these worshippers. John 4:24 For God is a Spirit: and they that worship him [29] must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:25 That woman said unto him, I know that [30] the Messiah comes: John 4:26 and when he is come, he will teach us everything. Jesus said unto her, I that speak unto you am he.

[31] John 4:27 And while he was speaking, his disciples came; and they wondered how he would speak with a woman; but not one of them said unto him, What do you seek? or, [32] What do you speak with her? John 4:28 And the woman left her waterpot, and went to the [33] city, and said to the people, John 4:29 Come, and see a man who told me all that ever I did: [34] perhaps then he is the Messiah. John 4:30 And people went out from the city, and came to [35] him. John 4:31 And in the mean while his disciples besought him, and said unto him, Our [36, 37] master, eat. John 4:32 And he said unto them, I have food to eat that you know not. John 4:33 And the disciples said among themselves, Can any one have brought him anything to eat? [38] John 4:34 Jesus said unto them, My food is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish [39] [Arabic, p. 84] his work. John 4:35 Said ye not that after four months comes the harvest? behold, I therefore say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and behold the lands, [40] that they have become white, and the harvest is already come. John 4:36 And he that reaps receives his wages, and gathers the fruit of eternal life; and the sower and [41] the reaper rejoice together. John 4:37 For in this is found the word of truth, One sowes, and [42] another reaps. John 4:38 And I sent you to reap that in which you have not laboured: others laboured, and you have entered on their labour.

[43] John 4:39 And from that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the words [44] of that woman, who testified and said, He told me all that ever I did. John 4:40 And when those Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them; and he [45, 46] abode with them two days. John 4:41 And many believed in him because of his word; John 4:42 and they said to that woman, Now not because of your saying have we believed in him: we have heard and known that this truly is the Messiah, the Saviour of the world.

[47, 48] John 4:43 And after two days Jesus went out thence and departed to Galilee. John 4:44 And Jesus [49] testified that a prophet is not honoured in his own city. John 4:45a And when he came to Galilee, the Galilæans received him.
