< John 4 >

1 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
ⲁ̅ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲑⲁⲙⲓⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥϯⲱⲙⲥ ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ.
2 (although Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples),

3 he left Judea and departed into Galilee.

4 He needed to pass through Samaria.

5 So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.

7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”
ⲍ̅ⲁⲥ⳿ⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⳿ⲉⲙⲁϩ ⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲟⲓ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲥⲱ.
8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

9 The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
ⲑ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲱⲥ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⳿ⲕⲉⲣⲉⲧⲓⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧ ⳿ⲉⲥⲱ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲙⲟⲩϫⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ.
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”

11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?

12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?”

13 Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,

14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him by no means will thirst for the age (aiōn g165); but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to consummate (aiōnios g166) life."

15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I do not get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”

20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”

22 You worship that which you do not know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.

25 The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”

27 Just then, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”

28 So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,

31 In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”

39 From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “He told me everything that I have done.”

46 Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
ⲙ̅ⲋ̅ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲧⲕⲁⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲉ⳿ⲁ ⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲑⲣⲉ ⲡⲓⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲣⲏⲣⲡ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲃⲁⲥⲓⲗⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϣⲏ ⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉϥϣⲱⲛⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲕⲁⲫⲁⲣⲛⲁⲟⲩⲙ.
47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.
ⲙ̅ⲍ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⲁϥⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ϫⲉ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲓⲟⲩⲇⲉ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲉϯⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲉ⳿ⲁ ⲁϥϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁϥϯϩⲟ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿Ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲧⲟⲩϫⲉ ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲛⲁϥⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ.
48 Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”
ⲙ̅ⲏ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉϩⲁⲛⲙⲏⲓⲛⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣⲓ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩϯ ⲁⲛ.
49 The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
ⲙ̅ⲑ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲃⲁⲥⲓⲗⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁ⳪ ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉϥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲁ⳿ⲁⲗⲟⲩ.
50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
ⲛ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲁⲕ ⳿ϥⲟⲛϧ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲕϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲉⲧⲁ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲟϥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲙⲟϣⲓ.
51 As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”
ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ϩⲏⲇⲏ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲉϥⲉⲃⲓⲁⲓⲕ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲁϥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥⲟⲛϧ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲕϣⲏⲣⲓ.
52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.”
ⲛ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲁϥϣⲓⲛⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ϯⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲑⲏ ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲁⲥⲓⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ϧⲉⲛ ⲁϫⲡ ⲍ̅ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁϥ ⲁϥⲭⲁϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϧⲙⲟⲙ.
53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” He believed, as did his whole house.
ⲛ̅ⲅ̅ⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲓⲱⲧ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉ ϯ ⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲧⲉ ⲉⲧⲁ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥⲟⲛϧ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲕϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲉϥⲏⲓ ⲧⲏⲣϥ.
54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
