< John 4 >

1 Thus when the Lord knew when the Pharisees heard that Jesus is 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 (truly Jesus himself was not baptizing, but His disciples),
ⲃ̅ⲕⲉⲧⲟⲓ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϥϯⲱⲙⲥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲉ.
3 He left Judea and came again into Galilee.
ⲅ̅ⲁϥⲭⲱ ⳿ⲛϯⲓⲟⲩⲇⲉ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉϯⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲉ⳿ⲁ.
4 And it behooved Him to go through Samaria.
ⲇ̅ⲛⲉ ϩⲱϯ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲥⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ.
5 Then He comes into a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the place which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
ⲉ̅ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲃⲁⲕⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲧⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲩⲭⲁⲣ ⲉⲥϧⲉⲛⲧ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲓⲟϩⲓ ⲉⲧⲁ ⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃ ⲧⲏⲓϥ ⳿ⲛⲓⲱⲥⲏⲫ ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲓ.
6 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.
ⲋ̅ⲛⲁⲥⲭⲏ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲉⲧⲁϥϧⲓⲥⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲙⲱⲓⲧ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲁϥϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ϯⲙⲟⲩⲙⲓ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲫⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛⲁϫⲡ ⲡⲉ.
7 A woman comes from Samaria to draw water. Jesus says to her, Give me to 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 into the city, that they might purchase food.

9 A Samaritan woman says to Him, How do you, being a Jew, ask to drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?
ⲑ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲱⲥ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⳿ⲕⲉⲣⲉⲧⲓⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧ ⳿ⲉⲥⲱ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲙⲟⲩϫⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ.
10 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.
ⲓ̅ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲣⲉ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉϯⲇⲱⲣⲉ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ϫⲉ ⲙⲟⲓ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲥⲱ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟ ⲛⲁⲣⲉⲉⲣⲉⲧⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϯ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲟⲛϧ.
11 The woman says to Him, Sir, thou hast no windlass, and the well is deep: whence hast thou living water?

12 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 responded and said to her, Every one drinking of this water shall thirst again:

14 but whosoever may drink of the water that I shall give to him shall never thirst; but the water which I shall give to him shall be in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲓⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϯⲛⲁⲧⲏⲓϥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉϭⲓⲫⲉⲓ ⲉⲩⲱⲛϧ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉⲛⲉϩ. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
15 Then the woman says to Him, Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁ⳪ ⲙⲟⲓ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ⳿ⲓⲃⲓ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲙⲛⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲙⲁϩ ⲙⲱⲟⲩ.
16 He says to her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

17 The woman responded and said, I have no husband. Jesus says to her, Well didst thou say, I have no husband:
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛϯ ϩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲁⲣⲉϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛϯ ϩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
18 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 thou art a prophet.

20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where it behooveth to worship.
ⲕ̅ⲛⲉⲛⲓⲟϯ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲓⲙⲁ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲥϣⲉ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
21 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 worship, you know not what: we worship that which we know: because salvation is of the Jews.

23 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 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 cometh (who is called Christ): when He may come, He will proclaim to us all things.

26 Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee am He.

27 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?
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏ ⲧⲏⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲩⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲙⲉⲛⲧⲟⲓ ϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲕⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲟⲩ ⲓⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲟⲩ ⳿ⲕⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲁⲥ.
28 Then the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and says to the men,

30 They came out from the city, and came to Him.

31 Meanwhile His disciples were asking Him, saying, Master eat.

32 He said to them, I have meat to eat, which you know not.

33 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 that I may do the will of Him that sent me, and finish His work.

39 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:

42 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.

44 And Jesus Himself witnessed, that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

45 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 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;
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 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 Then Jesus said to him, Unless you may see signs and wonders, you can not believe.

49 The nobleman says to Him, Lord, come down before my little child dies.

50 Jesus says to him, Go; thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus spoke to him, and departed.

51 And he already coming down, the servants met him, and reported, that the child lives.

52 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 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 Jesus, having again come out of Judea into Galilee, wrought this second miracle.
