John 4
1 Nowe when the Lord knew, how the Pharises had heard, that Iesus made and baptized moe disciples then Iohn,
Therefore when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard, "Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John"
2 (Though Iesus himselfe baptized not: but his disciples)
(although Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples),
3 Hee left Iudea, and departed againe into Galile.
he left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.
4 And he must needes goe through Samaria.
He needed to pass through Samaria.
5 Then came hee to a citie of Samaria called Sychar, neere vnto the possession that Iacob gaue to his sonne Ioseph.
So he came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son, Joseph.
6 And there was Iacobs well. Iesus then wearied in the iourney, sate thus on the well: it was about the sixt houre.
Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 There came a woman of Samaria to drawe water. Iesus sayd vnto her, Giue me drinke.
A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink."
8 For his disciples were gone away into the citie, to buy meate.
For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
9 Then sayde the woman of Samaria vnto him, Howe is it, that thou being a Iewe, askest drinke of me, which am a woman of Samaria? For the Iewes meddle not with the Samaritans.
The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, "How can you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
10 Iesus answered and saide vnto her, If thou knewest that gift of God, and who it is that saieth to thee, Giue mee drinke, thou wouldest haue asked of him, and hee woulde haue giuen thee, water of life.
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 saide vnto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to drawe with, and the well is deepe: from whence then hast thou that water of life?
The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. From where do you get that living water?
12 Art thou greater then our father Iacob, which gaue vs the well, and hee himselfe dranke thereof, and his sonnes, and his cattell?
Are you greater than our father, Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, as did his children, and his livestock?"
13 Iesus answered, and said vnto her, Whosoeuer drinketh of this water, shall thirst againe:
Jesus answered her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
15 The woman said vnto him, Syr, giue me of that water, that I may not thirst, neither come hither to drawe.
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."
16 Iesus said vnto her, Go, call thine husband, and come hither.
He said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."
17 The woman answered, and saide, I haue no husband. Iesus said vnto her, Thou hast well said, I haue no husband.
The woman answered and said to him, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You said well, 'I have no husband,'
18 For thou hast had fiue husbands, and he whom thou nowe hast, is not thine husband: that saidest thou truely.
for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly."
19 The woman saide vnto him, Sir, I see that thou art a Prophet.
The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountaine, and ye say, that in Ierusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship."
21 Iesus saide vnto her, Woman, beleeue me, the houre commeth, when ye shall neither in this mountaine, nor at Hierusalem worship ye Father.
Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father.
22 Ye worship that which ye knowe not: we worship that which we knowe: for saluation is of the Iewes.
You worship that which you do not know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
23 But the houre commeth, and nowe is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit, and trueth: for the Father requireth euen such to worship him.
But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshippers.
24 God is a Spirite, and they that worship him, must worship him in spirit and trueth.
God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."
25 The woman said vnto him, I knowe well that Messias shall come which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell vs all things.
The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah comes," (he who is called Christ). "When he has come, he will declare to us all things."
26 Iesus said vnto her, I am he, that speake vnto thee.
Jesus said to her, "I am he, the one who speaks to you."
27 And vpon that, came his disciples, and marueiled that he talked with a woman: yet no man said vnto him, What askest thou? or why talkest thou with her?
At this, his disciples came. They were surprised that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, "What are you looking for?" or, "Why do you speak with her?"
28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the citie, and said to the men,
So the woman left her water pot, and went away into the city, and said to the people,
29 Come, see a man which hath tolde me all things that euer I did: is not he that Christ?
"Come, see a man who told me everything that I did. Can this be the Christ?"
30 Then they went out of the citie, and came vnto him.
They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
31 In the meane while, the disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eate.
In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."
32 But he said vnto them, I haue meate to eate that ye know not of.
But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you do not know about."
33 Then said ye disciples betweene themselues, Hath any man brought him meate?
The disciples therefore said one to another, "Has anyone brought him something to eat?"
34 Iesus saide vnto them, My meate is that I may doe the will of him that sent me, and finish his worke.
Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.
35 Say not ye, There are yet foure moneths, and then commeth haruest? Beholde, I say vnto you, Lift vp your eyes, and looke on the regions: for they are white alreadie vnto haruest.
Do you not say, 'There are yet four months until the harvest?' Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes and see the fields, that they are white for harvest already.
36 And he that reapeth, receiueth rewarde, and gathereth fruite vnto life eternall, that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth, might reioyce together. (aiōnios g166)
He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to everlasting life; that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 For herein is the saying true, that one soweth, and an other reapeth.
For in this the saying is true, 'One sows, and another reaps.'
38 I sent you to reape that, whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entred into their labours.
I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor."
39 Nowe many of the Samaritans of that citie beleeued in him, for the saying of the woman which testified, He hath tolde me all things that euer I did.
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 did."
40 Then when the Samaritans were come vnto him, they besought him, that he woulde tarie with them: and he abode there two dayes.
So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
41 And many moe beleeued because of his owne word.
Many more believed because of his word.
42 And they said vnto the woman, Nowe we beleeue, not because of thy saying: for we haue heard him our selues, and knowe that this is in deede that Christ the Sauiour of the world.
They said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Savior of the world."
43 So two dayes after he departed thence, and went into Galile.
After the two days he departed from there to Galilee.
44 For Iesus himselfe had testified, that a Prophet hath none honour in his owne countrey.
For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
45 Then when he was come into Galile, the Galileans receiued him, which had seene all the things that he did at Hierusalem at the feast: for they went also vnto the feast.
So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.
46 And Iesus came againe into Cana a towne of Galile, where he had made of water, wine. And there was a certaine ruler, whose sonne was sicke at Capernaum.
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.
47 When he heard that Iesus was come out of Iudea into Galile, he went vnto him, and besought him that he would goe downe, and heale his sonne: for he was euen ready to die.
When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and pleaded with him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was close to death.
48 Then saide Iesus vnto him, Except ye see signes and wonders, ye will not beleeue.
Jesus therefore said to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe."
49 The ruler said vnto him, Syr, goe downe before my sonne dye.
The nobleman said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies."
50 Iesus said vnto him, Go thy way, thy sonne liueth: and the man beleeued the worde that Iesus had spoken vnto him, and went his way.
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.
51 And as he was nowe going downe, his seruants met him, saying, Thy sonne liueth.
As he was now going down, his servants met him, saying that his son was alive.
52 Then enquired he of them the houre when he began to amend. And they said vnto him, Yesterday the seuenth houre the feuer left him.
So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, "Yesterday at one in the afternoon, the fever left him."
53 Then the father knew, that it was the same houre in the which Iesus had said vnto him, Thy sonne liueth. And he beleeued, and all his houshold.
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.
54 This second miracle did Iesus againe, after he was come out of Iudea into Galile.
This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
