John 4
1 Now when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard, “Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John”
When therefore the LORD knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus makes and immerses more disciples than John,
2 (although Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples),
(though indeed Jesus Himself was not immersing, but His disciples),
3 He left Judea and went away into Galilee.
He left Judea and went away again to Galilee,
4 Now He needed to go through Samaria;
and it was necessary [for] 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.
He comes, therefore, to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the place that 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 there was there a well of Jacob. Jesus therefore having been weary from the journeying, was thus sitting on the well; it was as it were the sixth hour;
7 A woman of Samaria comes to draw water. Jesus says to her, “Give me a drink.”
there comes a woman out of 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 were gone away into the city that they may buy 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).
the Samaritan woman therefore says to Him, “How do You, being a Jew, ask drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?” For Jews have no dealing with Samaritans.
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.”
Jesus answered and said to her, “If you had known the gift of God, and who it is who is saying 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, “Lord, You do not even have a vessel to draw with, and the well is deep; from where, then, have You the 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.”
Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself drank out of it, and his sons, and his livestock?”
13 Jesus answered and said to her: “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who is drinking of this water will thirst again;
15 The woman says to Him, “Sir, give me this water! so that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”
The woman says to Him, “Lord, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”
16 Jesus says to her, “Go, call your husband and come back here.”
Jesus says to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here”;
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 answered and said, “I do not have a husband.” Jesus says to her, “Well did you say—I do not have a 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 you have had five husbands, and now, he whom you have is not your husband; you have said this correctly.”
19 The woman says to Him: “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
The woman says to Him, “Lord, I perceive that You are 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 is required 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, “Woman, believe Me, that there comes an hour when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father;
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 what you have not known; we worship what we have known, 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 there comes an hour, and it now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also seeks such to worship Him;
24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
God [is] Spirit, and those worshiping Him should worship in spirit and 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 have known that Messiah comes, who is called Christ, when that One may come, He will tell us all things”;
26 Jesus says to her, “I am He, the one who is talking with you!”
Jesus says to her, “I who am speaking to you 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 on this came His disciples, and were wondering that He was speaking with a woman, no one, however, said, “What do You seek?” 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:
The woman then left her water-jug 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, see a Man who told me all things—as many as I did; is this the Christ?”
30 So out they went from the town and started toward Him.
They went forth therefore out of the city, and were coming to Him.
31 Now in the meantime the disciples were urging Him saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
And in the meanwhile His disciples were asking Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat”;
32 But He said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.”
and He said to them, “I have food to eat that you have not known.”
33 So the disciples started saying to one another, “Could someone have brought Him something to eat?”
The disciples then said to one another, “Did anyone bring Him anything 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 who sent Me, and may 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 not say that it is yet four months, and the harvest comes; behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see the fields, that they are white to harvest already.
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)
And he who is reaping receives a reward, and gathers fruit to continuous life, that both he who is sowing and he who is reaping 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 saying is the true one, that one is the sower and another the reaper.
38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored and you have entered into their labors.”
I sent you to reap on that which you have not labored; others 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!”
And many from that city believed in Him, of the Samaritans, because of the word of the woman testifying, “He told me all things—as many as I did.”
40 So when the Samaritans came to Him they urged Him to stay with them; and He did stay there two days.
When, then, the Samaritans came to Him, they were asking Him to remain with them, and He remained there two days;
41 Many more believed through His own word,
and many more believed because of 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 said to the woman, “We no longer believe because of your speaking; for we ourselves have heard and known that this is truly the Savior of the world—the Christ.”
43 So after the two days He departed from there and went on into Galilee.
And after the two days He went forth from there, and went away to Galilee,
44 (For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet does not have honor in his own country.)
for Jesus Himself testified that a prophet will not have 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.
when then, He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all things that He did in Jerusalem in the celebration—for they also went to the celebration.
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.
Jesus came, therefore, again to Cana of Galilee, where He made the water wine, and there was a certain attendant, whose son was ailing 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 comes out of Judea to Galilee, went away to Him, and was asking Him that He may come down and may 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!”
Jesus then said to him, “If you may not see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”
49 The official says to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies!”
The attendant says to Him, “Lord, come down before my 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, “Be going on; your son lives.” And the man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and was going on,
51 Now while he was still going down his slaves met him and reported saying, “Your son lives!”
and he now going down, his servants met him, and told, saying, “Your 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.”
he inquired then of them the hour in which he became better, and they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him”;
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] in that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives,” and he himself believed, and his whole house;
54 Again, coming out of Judea into Galilee, Jesus performed this second miraculous sign.
this again [was] a second sign Jesus did, having come out of Judea to Galilee.
