John 4
1 When therefore the Lord knew how that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
When therefore the Lord knew, that the Pharisees had heard—Jesus, more disciples, is making and immersing, than John, —
2 (although Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),
although indeed, Jesus himself, was not immersing, but his disciples,
3 he left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
he left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
4 And he must needs pass through Samaria.
Now he must needs pass through Samaria.
5 So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground 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 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about 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 cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto 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 to buy food.
for, his disciples, had gone away into the city, that, food, they might buy.
9 The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a Samaritan woman? (For Jews have no dealings 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 unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee 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 saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that 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 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
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 unto her, Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
Jesus answered, and said unto her—Whosoever drinketh of this water, will thirst, again;
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw.
The woman saith unto him—Sir! give me this water, that I thirst not, neither be coming hither to draw.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
He saith unto her—Go, call thy husband, and come hither!
17 The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no 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 thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.
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 saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
The woman saith unto him—Sir! I perceive that, a prophet, art, thou: —
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Our fathers, in this mountain, worshipped; and, ye, say, that, in Jerusalem, is the place, where, to worship, it behoveth.
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye 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 Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know: for salvation is from the Jews.
Ye, worship, that which ye know not; We, worship, that which we know; because, salvation, is, of the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers.
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 a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
God is, spirit; and, they that worship him, in spirit and truth, must needs worship.
25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh (which is called Christ): when he is come, he will declare unto 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 saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he].
Jesus saith unto her—I, that speak unto thee, am he.
27 And upon this came his disciples; and they marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou 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 So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith 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, which told me all things that [ever] I did: can this be the Christ?
Come! see a man, that told me all things that ever I did: Can, this, be, the Christ?
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
They came forth out of the city, and were coming unto him.
31 In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
In the meantime, the disciples were requesting him, saying—Rabbi! eat.
32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not.
But, he, said unto them—I, have, food, to eat, of which, ye, know not.
33 The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him [aught] to eat?
The disciples, therefore, began to say, one to another—Hath anyone brought him, to eat?
34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish 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 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and [then] cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white already unto harvest.
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 He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that he that soweth and he that reapeth 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 herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
For, herein, doth the saying, hold good, —One, is the sower, and, another, is the reaper.
38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not laboured: others have laboured, and ye are entered into their labour.
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 from that city many of the Samaritans believed on him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all things that [ever] 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 So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them: and he abode 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 they said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy speaking: for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.
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 thence into Galilee.
But, after the two days, he went forth from thence, into Galilee.
44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
For, Jesus himself, bare witness, that, a prophet, in his own fatherland, hath not, honour.
45 So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
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 He came therefore again unto Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at 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 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought [him] that he would come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.
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 therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe.
Jesus therefore said unto him—Except, signs and wonders, ye see, in nowise will ye believe.
49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
The courtier saith unto him—Sir! come down, ere my child die!
50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word that Jesus spake unto him, and he went his way.
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 as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son lived.
And, when he was even now going down, his servants, met him, saying, that, his boy, was living.
52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to amend. They said therefore unto 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 So the father knew that [it was] at that hour in which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and 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 is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judaea into Galilee.
Now, this again, as, a second sign, Jesus did, after coming out of Judaea into Galilee.
