John 4
1 Now when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard, “Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John”
Thus when the Lord knew when the Pharisees heard that Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John
2 (although Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples),
(truly Jesus himself was not baptizing, but His disciples),
3 He left Judea and went away into Galilee.
He left Judea and came again into Galilee.
4 Now He needed to go through Samaria;
And it behooved Him to go through Samaria.
5 so He comes to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Then He comes into a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the place which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Now Jacob's well was there; so Jesus, being worn out from the journey, sat as He was by the well. It was about 6 p.m.
And the well of Jacob was there. Then Jesus having become weary from the journey, was sitting thus by the well: it was about the sixth hour.
7 A woman of Samaria comes to draw water. Jesus says to her, “Give me a drink.”
A woman comes from Samaria to draw water. Jesus says to her, Give me to drink.
8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
For His disciples had gone into the city, that they might purchase food.
9 So the Samaritan woman says to Him, “How can you, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?” (for Jews do not associate with Samaritans).
A Samaritan woman says to Him, How do you, being a Jew, ask to drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?
10 Jesus answered and said to her: “If you knew the gift of God, and who is the one saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”
And Jesus responded and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and the one who is speaking to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.
11 The woman says to Him: “Sir, you don't even have a bucket, and the well is deep; so where do you get this living water?
The woman says to Him, Sir, thou hast no windlass, and the well is deep: whence hast thou living water?
12 You aren't greater than our father Jacob, are you? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.”
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself and his sons, and his herds, drank of it?
13 Jesus answered and said to her: “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
Jesus responded and said to her, Every one drinking of this water shall thirst again:
15 The woman says to Him, “Sir, give me this water! so that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”
Then the woman says to Him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.
16 Jesus says to her, “Go, call your husband and come back here.”
He says to her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 The woman answered and said, “I don't have a husband.” Jesus says to her: “You stated correctly that you do not have a husband,
The woman responded and said, I have no husband. Jesus says to her, Well didst thou say, I have no husband:
18 because you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is no husband of yours. You spoke the truth there!”
for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: thou hast spoken this truly.
19 The woman says to Him: “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
The woman says to Him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, while you (pl) say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”
Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where it behooveth to worship.
21 Jesus says to her: “Woman, believe me, a time is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
Jesus says to her, Believe me, woman, that the hour cometh, you will worship the Father neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem.
22 You [Samaritans] worship what you do not know; we [Jews] worship what we do know, because the salvation is from the Jews.
You worship, you know not what: we worship that which we know: because salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the time is coming, in fact now is, when the genuine worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. Really, because the Father is looking for such people to worship Him.
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such worshiping Him.
24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
God is a Spirit, and it behooveth those who worship Him to worship in spirit and in truth.
25 The woman says to Him: “I know that Messiah is coming (who is called Christ). When He comes He will explain everything to us.”
The woman says to Him, I know that Messiah cometh (who is called Christ): when He may come, He will proclaim to us all things.
26 Jesus says to her, “I am He, the one who is talking with you!”
Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee am He.
27 At that point His disciples arrived, and they were amazed that He was talking with a woman; yet no one said, “What do you want?” or “Why are You talking with her?”
And at this time His disciples came, and were wondering because He was speaking with the woman; no one said, What seekest thou? or, Why do you speak with her?
28 So the woman left her water jar, went her way into the town, and says to the men:
Then the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and says to the men,
29 “Come see a man who told me everything I ever did! Could this be the Messiah?”
Come hither, see the man who told me all things which I did: Is not He the Christ?
30 So out they went from the town and started toward Him.
They came out from the city, and came to Him.
31 Now in the meantime the disciples were urging Him saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
Meanwhile His disciples were asking Him, saying, Master eat.
32 But He said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.”
He said to them, I have meat to eat, which you know not.
33 So the disciples started saying to one another, “Could someone have brought Him something to eat?”
Then His disciples were speaking to one another, Whether has any one brought Him something to eat?
34 Jesus says to them: “My food is to do the will of Him who sent me and to complete His work.
Jesus says to them, My food is that I may do the will of Him that sent me, and finish His work.
35 Do you not say, ‘There are four months before the harvest comes?’ Well I say, Look! Lift your eyes and observe the fields; they are white for harvest already!
Do you not say, That it is yet four months, and the harvest cometh? Behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes and see the fields, because they are white unto the harvest
36 Now he who reaps receives pay and gathers fruit into eternal life, so that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
already. He that reapeth receiveth reward, and gathereth fruit unto eternal life; in order that both the sower and the reaper may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Now the saying, ‘One is the sower and another the reaper,’ is true in this:
For in this the word is true, that there is one sowing, and another reaping.
38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored and you have entered into their labors.”
I have sent you to reap that upon which you have never labored: others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.
39 Now many of the Samaritans from that city believed into Him because of the word of the woman, testifying that “He told me everything I ever did!”
But many of the Samaritans from that city believed on Him through the word of the woman, testifying that, He told me all things which I did. Then when the Samaritans came to Him they asked Him to abide with them:
40 So when the Samaritans came to Him they urged Him to stay with them; and He did stay there two days.
and He remained there two days:
41 Many more believed through His own word,
and many more believed on Him through His word;
42 and they kept saying to the woman, “It is not just because of what you said that we believe, because we ourselves have heard Him, and we know that this One is truly the Messiah, the Savior of the world!”
and they continued to say to the woman, We no longer believe through your talk; for we have heard and we know that He is truly the Savior of the world.
43 So after the two days He departed from there and went on into Galilee.
And after two days He departed thence into Galilee.
44 (For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet does not have honor in his own country.)
And Jesus Himself witnessed, that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
45 So when He came into Galilee the Galileans welcomed Him, having seen all the things that He did in Jerusalem, at the festival; for they too had gone to the festival.
And when He came into Galilee, Galileans received Him, having seen all things which He did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also came to the feast.
46 So Jesus went again to Cana of Galilee, where He made the water wine. Now there was a certain royal official whose son was sick in Capernaum.
Then He came again into Cana of Galilee, where He turned the water into wine. And there was a certain royalist, whose son was sick in Capernaum;
47 When this man heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.
he having heard that Jesus has come out of Judea into Galilee, came away to Him, and continued to ask Him that He may come down and heal his son; for He was about to die.
48 So Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders you will not believe!”
Then Jesus said to him, Unless you may see signs and wonders, you can not believe.
49 The official says to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies!”
The nobleman says to Him, Lord, come down before my little child dies.
50 Jesus says to him, “Go; your son lives.” Well the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and off he went.
Jesus says to him, Go; thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus spoke to him, and departed.
51 Now while he was still going down his slaves met him and reported saying, “Your son lives!”
And he already coming down, the servants met him, and reported, that the child lives.
52 So he inquired of them the hour in which he got better. And they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.”
Then he inquired the hour at which he began to improve; and they said to him, The fever left him at the seventh hour yesterday.
53 So the father knew that it was at the exact hour in which Jesus told him, “Your son lives.” Both he himself and his whole household believed.
Then the father knew that it was at that hour at which Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth: and he and all his house believed.
54 Again, coming out of Judea into Galilee, Jesus performed this second miraculous sign.
Jesus, having again come out of Judea into Galilee, wrought this second miracle.
