< John 4 >
1 When therefore the Lord knew, that the Pharisees had heard—Jesus, more disciples, is making and immersing, than John, —
When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus more disciples doth make and baptize than John,
2 although indeed, Jesus himself, was not immersing, but his disciples,
(though indeed Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples, )
3 he left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
he left Judea and went away again to Galilee,
4 Now he must needs pass through Samaria.
and it was behoving him to go through Samaria.
5 He cometh, therefore, unto a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of ground which Jacob gave unto Joseph his son.
He cometh, therefore, to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the place that Jacob gave to Joseph his son;
6 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.
and there was there a well of Jacob. Jesus therefore having been weary from the journeying, was sitting thus on the well; it was as it were 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 out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith to her, 'Give me to drink;'
8 for, his disciples, had gone away into the city, that, food, they might buy.
for his disciples were gone away to the city, that they may buy victuals;
9 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.]
the Samaritan woman therefore saith to him, 'How dost thou, being a Jew, ask drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?' for Jews have no dealing with Samaritans.
10 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.
Jesus answered and said to her, 'If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.'
11 She saith unto him—Sir! not even a bucket, hast thou, —and, the well, is, deep: —Whence, then, hast thou the living water?
The woman saith to him, 'Sir, thou hast not even a vessel to draw with, and the well is deep; whence, then, hast thou the living water?
12 Art, thou, greater than, our father Jacob, who gave us the well, —and, himself, out of it drank, and his sons, and his flocks?
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who did give us the well, and himself out of it did drink, and his sons, and his cattle?'
13 Jesus answered, and said unto her—Whosoever drinketh of this water, will thirst, again;
Jesus answered and said to her, 'Every one who is drinking of this water shall thirst again;
14 But, whosoever shall drink of the water which, I, will give him, in nowise shall thirst, unto times age-abiding, —but, the water which I will give him, shall become, within him, a fountain of water, springing up unto life age-abiding. (aiōn , aiōnios )
but whoever may drink of the water that I will give him, may not thirst — to the age; and the water that I will give him shall become in him a well of water, springing up to life age-during.' (aiōn , aiōnios )
15 The woman saith unto him—Sir! give me this water, that I thirst not, neither be coming hither to draw.
The woman saith unto him, 'Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.'
16 He saith unto her—Go, call thy husband, and come hither!
Jesus saith to her, 'Go, call thy husband, and come hither;'
17 The woman answered, and said [unto him]—I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her—Well, saidst thou, A husband, I have not;
the woman answered and said, 'I have not a husband.' Jesus saith to her, 'Well didst thou say — A husband I have not;
18 for, five husbands, thou hast had, —and, now, he whom thou hast, is not thy, husband: This true thing, hast thou spoken.
for five husbands thou hast had, and, now, he whom thou hast is not thy husband; this hast thou said truly.'
19 The woman saith unto him—Sir! I perceive that, a prophet, art, thou: —
The woman saith to him, 'Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet;
20 Our fathers, in this mountain, worshipped; and, ye, say, that, in Jerusalem, is the place, where, to worship, it behoveth.
our fathers in this mountain did worship, and ye — ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where it behoveth to worship.'
21 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.
Jesus saith to her, 'Woman, believe me, that there doth come an hour, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father;
22 Ye, worship, that which ye know not; We, worship, that which we know; because, salvation, is, of the Jews.
ye worship what ye have not known; we worship what we have known, because the salvation is of the Jews;
23 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.
but, there cometh an hour, and it now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also doth seek such to worship him;
24 God is, spirit; and, they that worship him, in spirit and truth, must needs worship.
God [is] a Spirit, and those worshipping Him, in spirit and truth it doth behove to worship.'
25 The woman saith unto him—I know that, Messiah, cometh, who is called Christ, —Whensoever, he, shall come, he will tell us, everything.
The woman saith to him, 'I have known that Messiah doth come, who is called Christ, when that one may come, he will tell us all things;'
26 Jesus saith unto her—I, that speak unto thee, am he.
Jesus saith to her, 'I am [he], who am speaking to thee.'
27 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?
And upon this came his disciples, and were wondering that with a woman he was speaking, no one, however, said, 'What seekest thou?' or 'Why speakest thou with her?'
28 The woman, therefore, left her water-vessel, and went away into the city, and saith unto the men—
The woman then left her water-jug, and went away to the city, and saith to the men,
29 Come! see a man, that told me all things that ever I did: Can, this, be, the Christ?
'Come, see a man, who told me all things — as many as I did; is this the Christ?'
30 They came forth out of the city, and were coming unto him.
They went forth therefore out of the city, and were coming unto him.
31 In the meantime, the disciples were requesting him, saying—Rabbi! eat.
And in the meanwhile his disciples were asking him, saying, 'Rabbi, eat;'
32 But, he, said unto them—I, have, food, to eat, of which, ye, know not.
and he said to them, 'I have food to eat that ye have not known.'
33 The disciples, therefore, began to say, one to another—Hath anyone brought him, to eat?
The disciples then said one to another, 'Did any one bring him anything to eat?'
34 Jesus saith unto them—My food, is, that I should do the will of him that sent me, and complete, his work.
Jesus saith to them, 'My food is, that I may do the will of Him who sent me, and may finish His work;
35 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,
do not say that it is yet four months, and the harvest cometh; lo, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and see the fields, that they are white unto harvest already.
36 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 )
'And he who is reaping doth receive a reward, and doth gather fruit to life age-during, that both he who is sowing and he who is reaping may rejoice together; (aiōnios )
37 For, herein, doth the saying, hold good, —One, is the sower, and, another, is the reaper.
for in this the saying is the true one, that one is the sower and another the reaper.
38 I, sent you forth, to be reaping that whereon, ye, have not toiled: Others, have toiled, and, ye, into their toil, have entered.
I sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured; others laboured, and ye into their labour have entered.
39 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.
And from that city many believed in him, of the Samaritans, because of the word of the woman testifying, — 'He told me all things — as many as I did.'
40 When, therefore, the Samaritans came unto him, they went on to request him to abide with them; and he abode there two days.
When, then, the Samaritans came unto him, they were asking him to remain with them, and he remained there two days;
41 And, many more, believed by reason of his discourse;
and many more did believe because of his word,
42 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.
and said to the woman — 'No more because of thy speaking do we believe; for we ourselves have heard and known that this is truly the Saviour of the world — the Christ.'
43 But, after the two days, he went forth from thence, into Galilee.
And after the two days he went forth thence, and went away to Galilee,
44 For, Jesus himself, bare witness, that, a prophet, in his own fatherland, hath not, honour.
for Jesus himself testified that a prophet in his own country shall not have honour;
45 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.
when then, he came to Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all things that he did in Jerusalem in the feast — for they also went to the feast.
46 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.
Jesus came, therefore, again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine, and there was a certain courtier, whose son was ailing in Capernaum,
47 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.
he, having heard that Jesus is come out of Judea to Galilee, went away unto him, and was asking him that he may come down and may heal his son, for he was about to die.
48 Jesus therefore said unto him—Except, signs and wonders, ye see, in nowise will ye believe.
Jesus then said unto him, 'If signs and wonders ye may not see, ye will not believe.'
49 The courtier saith unto him—Sir! come down, ere my child die!
The courtier saith unto him, 'Sir, come down before my child die;'
50 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.
Jesus saith to him, 'Be going on; thy son doth live.' And the man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and was going on,
51 And, when he was even now going down, his servants, met him, saying, that, his boy, was living.
and he now going down, his servants met him, and told, saying — 'Thy child doth live;'
52 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.
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;'
53 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.
then the father knew that [it was] in that hour in which Jesus said to him — 'Thy son doth live,' and he himself believed, and his whole house;
54 Now, this again, as, a second sign, Jesus did, after coming out of Judaea into Galilee.
this again a second sign did Jesus, having come out of Judea to Galilee.
