John 4
1 When therefore the LORD knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus makes and immerses more disciples than John,
When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
2 (though indeed Jesus Himself was not immersing, but His disciples),
(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples, )
3 He left Judea and went away again to Galilee,
He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
4 and it was necessary [for] Him to go through Samaria.
And he must needs go through Samaria.
5 He comes, therefore, to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the place that Jacob gave to his son Joseph;
Then comes he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 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;
Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
7 there comes a woman out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus says to her, “Give Me to drink”;
There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus says to her, Give me to drink.
8 for His disciples were gone away into the city that they may buy food;
(For his disciples were gone away to the city to buy meat.)
9 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.
Then says the woman of Samaria to him, How is it that you, being a Jew, ask drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
10 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.”
Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that says to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.
11 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?
The woman says to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from where then have you that living water?
12 Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself drank out of it, and his sons, and his livestock?”
Are you greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who is drinking of this water will thirst again;
Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinks of this water shall thirst again:
15 The woman says to Him, “Lord, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”
The woman says to him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come here to draw.
16 Jesus says to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here”;
Jesus says to her, Go, call your husband, and come here.
17 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;
The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have well said, I have no husband:
18 for you have had five husbands, and now, he whom you have is not your husband; you have said this correctly.”
For you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband: in that said you truly.
19 The woman says to Him, “Lord, I perceive that You are a prophet;
The woman says to him, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
20 our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and You say that in Jerusalem is the place where it is required to worship.”
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 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;
Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when you shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 you worship what you have not known; we worship what we have known, because salvation is of the Jews;
You worship you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 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;
But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him.
24 God [is] Spirit, and those worshiping Him should worship in spirit and truth.”
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
25 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”;
The woman says to him, I know that Messias comes, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
26 Jesus says to her, “I who am speaking to you am [He].”
Jesus says to her, I that speak to you am he.
27 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?”
And on this came his disciples, and marveled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seek you? or, Why talk you with her?
28 The woman then left her water-jug and went away into the city, and says to the men,
The woman then left her water pot, and went her way into the city, and says to the men,
29 “Come, see a Man who told me all things—as many as I did; is this the Christ?”
Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
30 They went forth therefore out of the city, and were coming to Him.
Then they went out of the city, and came to him.
31 And in the meanwhile His disciples were asking Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat”;
In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
32 and He said to them, “I have food to eat that you have not known.”
But he said to them, I have meat to eat that you know not of.
33 The disciples then said to one another, “Did anyone bring Him anything to eat?”
Therefore says the disciples one to another, Has any man brought him something to eat?
34 Jesus says to them, “My food is that I may do the will of Him who sent Me, and may finish His work;
Jesus said to them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
35 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.
Say not you, There are yet four months, and then comes harvest? behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
36 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)
And he that reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to life eternal: that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 for in this the saying is the true one, that one is the sower and another the reaper.
And herein is that saying true, One sows, and another reaps.
38 I sent you to reap on that which you have not labored; others labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
I sent you to reap that where on you bestowed no labor: other men labored, and you are entered into their labors.
39 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.”
And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
40 When, then, the Samaritans came to Him, they were asking Him to remain with them, and He remained there two days;
So when the Samaritans were come to him, they sought him that he would tarry with them: and he stayed there two days.
41 and many more believed because of His word,
And many more believed because of his own word;
42 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.”
And said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of your saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.
43 And after the two days He went forth from there, and went away to Galilee,
Now after two days he departed there, and went into Galilee.
44 for Jesus Himself testified that a prophet will not have honor in his own country;
For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
45 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.
Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went to the feast.
46 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,
So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 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.
When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went to him, and sought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
48 Jesus then said to him, “If you may not see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”
Then said Jesus to him, Except you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.
49 The attendant says to Him, “Lord, come down before my child dies”;
The nobleman says to him, Sir, come down before my child dies.
50 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,
Jesus says to him, Go your way; your son lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken to him, and he went his way.
51 and he now going down, his servants met him, and told, saying, “Your child lives”;
And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Your son lives.
52 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”;
Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
53 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;
So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said to him, Your son lives: and himself believed, and his whole house.
54 this again [was] a second sign Jesus did, having come out of Judea to Galilee.
This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
