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, that the Pharisees had heard—Jesus, more disciples, is making and immersing, than John, —
2 (though indeed Jesus Himself was not immersing, but His disciples),
although indeed, Jesus himself, was not immersing, 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.
Now he must needs pass through Samaria.
5 He comes, therefore, to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the place that Jacob gave to his son Joseph;
He cometh, therefore, unto a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of ground which Jacob gave unto Joseph his son.
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 fountain was there. Jesus, therefore, having become toil-worn with the journey, was sitting thus, upon the fountain. 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 cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith unto her—Give me to drink!
8 for His disciples were gone away into the city that they may buy food;
for, his disciples, had gone away into the city, that, food, they might buy.
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.
The Samaritan woman, therefore, saith unto him—How dost, thou, being, a Jew, ask to drink, of me, who am, a Samaritan woman? [for, Jews, have no dealings with 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 unto her—If thou hadst known the free gift of God, and who it is that is saying unto thee, Give me to drink, thou, wouldst have asked him, and he would have given thee 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?
She saith unto him—Sir! not even a bucket, hast thou, —and, the well, is, deep: —Whence, then, hast thou the 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?”
Art, thou, greater than, our father Jacob, who gave us the well, —and, himself, out of it drank, and his sons, and his flocks?
13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who is drinking of this water will thirst again;
Jesus answered, and said unto her—Whosoever drinketh of this water, will 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 saith unto him—Sir! give me this water, that I thirst not, neither be coming hither to draw.
16 Jesus says to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here”;
He saith unto her—Go, call thy husband, and come hither!
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 [unto him]—I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her—Well, saidst thou, A husband, I have not;
18 for you have had five husbands, and now, he whom you have is not your husband; you have said this correctly.”
for, five husbands, thou hast had, —and, now, he whom thou hast, is not thy, husband: This true thing, hast thou spoken.
19 The woman says to Him, “Lord, I perceive that You are a prophet;
The woman saith unto him—Sir! I perceive that, a prophet, art, thou: —
20 our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and You say that in Jerusalem is the place where it is required to worship.”
Our fathers, in this mountain, worshipped; and, ye, say, that, in Jerusalem, is the place, where, to worship, it behoveth.
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 saith unto her—Believe me, woman! There cometh an hour, when, neither in this mountain, nor yet in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.
22 you worship what you have not known; we worship what we have known, because salvation is of the Jews;
Ye, worship, that which ye know not; We, worship, that which we know; because, 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 there cometh an hour, and, now, is, —when, the real worshippers, shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for, even the Father, is seeking, such as these, as his worshippers.
24 God [is] Spirit, and those worshiping Him should worship in spirit and truth.”
God is, spirit; and, they that worship him, in spirit and truth, must needs worship.
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 saith unto him—I know that, Messiah, cometh, who is called Christ, —Whensoever, he, shall come, he will tell us, everything.
26 Jesus says to her, “I who am speaking to you am [He].”
Jesus saith unto her—I, that speak unto thee, 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, hereupon, came his disciples, and they began to marvel, that, with a woman, he was talking. No one, however, said—What seekest thou? or—Why talkest thou with her?
28 The woman then left her water-jug and went away into the city, and says to the men,
The woman, therefore, left her water-vessel, and went away into the city, and saith unto 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, that told me all things that ever I did: Can, this, be, the Christ?
30 They went forth therefore out of the city, and were coming to Him.
They came forth out of the city, and were coming unto him.
31 And in the meanwhile His disciples were asking Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat”;
In the meantime, the disciples were requesting him, saying—Rabbi! eat.
32 and He said to them, “I have food to eat that you have not known.”
But, he, said unto them—I, have, food, to eat, of which, ye, know not.
33 The disciples then said to one another, “Did anyone bring Him anything to eat?”
The disciples, therefore, began to say, one to another—Hath anyone brought him, 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 saith unto them—My food, is, that I should do the will of him that sent me, and complete, 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.
Are, ye, not saying—Yet, a fourmonth, it is, and, the harvest, cometh? Lo! I say unto you—Lift up your eyes, and gaze at the fields, —that, white, are they unto, harvest. Already,
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)
he that reapeth, receiveth, a reward, and gathereth fruit unto life age-abiding; that, he that soweth, together may rejoice, with him that reapeth. (aiōnios g166)
37 for in this the saying is the true one, that one is the sower and another the reaper.
For, herein, doth the saying, hold good, —One, is the sower, and, another, is the reaper.
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 forth, to be reaping that whereon, ye, have not toiled: Others, have toiled, and, ye, into their toil, have entered.
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, out of that city, many, believed on him—of the Samaritans, —by reason of the word of the woman in bearing witness—He told me all things 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;
When, therefore, the Samaritans came unto him, they went on to request him to abide with them; and he abode there two days.
41 and many more believed because of His word,
And, many more, believed by reason of his discourse;
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, unto the woman, began to say—No longer, by reason of thy talk, do we believe; for, we ourselves, have heard, and know that, This One, is, in truth, the Saviour of the world.
43 And after the two days He went forth from there, and went away to Galilee,
But, after the two days, he went forth from thence, into Galilee.
44 for Jesus Himself testified that a prophet will not have honor in his own country;
For, Jesus himself, bare witness, that, a prophet, in his own fatherland, hath not, honour.
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.
So, when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed him, having seen, all things, whatsoever he had done in Jerusalem during the feast; for, they also, went unto 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 he came again into Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water, wine. And there was a certain courtier, whose son was sick, in 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.
The same, hearing that Jesus had come out of Judaea into Galilee, came away unto him, and began requesting him, that he would come down and heal his son; for he was on the point of dying.
48 Jesus then said to him, “If you may not see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”
Jesus therefore said unto him—Except, signs and wonders, ye see, in nowise will ye believe.
49 The attendant says to Him, “Lord, come down before my child dies”;
The courtier saith unto him—Sir! come down, ere my child die!
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 saith unto him—Be going thy way: thy son, liveth! And the man believed in the word which Jesus spake to him, and at once went his way.
51 and he now going down, his servants met him, and told, saying, “Your child lives”;
And, when he was even now going down, his servants, met him, saying, that, his boy, was living.
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”;
So he enquired the hour, from them, when he began, to amend. They said, therefore, unto 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 took note that it was, in that hour, wherein Jesus said unto him—Thy son, liveth! and he believed, he, and all his house.
54 this again [was] a second sign Jesus did, having come out of Judea to Galilee.
Now, this again, as, a second sign, Jesus did, after coming out of Judaea into Galilee.
