John 4
1 When therefore knew (Jesus *N(K)O*) that heard the Pharisees that Jesus more disciples makes and baptizes than John
Now as soon as the Master was aware that the Pharisees had heard it said, "Jesus is gaining and baptizing more disciples than John"--
2 and certainly indeed and certainly indeed and certainly indeed Jesus Himself not was baptizing but the disciples of Him
though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did--
3 He left Judea and went away again into Galilee.
He left Judaea and returned to Galilee.
4 It was necessary for now Him to pass through Samaria.
His road lay through Samaria,
5 He comes therefore to a city of Samaria being named Sychar, nearby the plot of ground that gave Jacob (*no*) to Joseph the son of him;
and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Was now there [the] well of Jacob. Therefore Jesus already wearying from the journey was sitting thus at the well; [The] hour was (about *N(k)O*) [the] sixth.
Jacob's Well was there: and accordingly Jesus, tired out with His journey, sat down by the well to rest. It was about six o'clock in the evening.
7 Comes a woman out of Samaria to draw water. Says to her Jesus; do give Me to drink.
Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;
8 For the disciples of Him had gone away into the city that food they may buy.
for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions.
9 Says therefore to Him the woman Samaritan; How You yourself a Jew being from me to drink you do ask a woman Samaritan being? Not for have association Jews with Samaritans.
"How is it," replied the woman, "that a Jew like you asks me, who am a woman and a Samaritan, for water?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
10 Answered Jesus and said to her; If you had known the gift of God and who it is who is saying to you; do give Me to drink, you yourself then would you have asked Him and He gave maybe to you water living.
"If you had known God's free gift," replied Jesus, "and who it is that said to you, 'Give me some water,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."
11 Says to Him the woman: Sir, nothing to draw with You have, and the well is deep; from where then have You the water which is living?
"Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; so where can you get the living water from?
12 Not You yourself greater are [than] the father of us Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself of it drank and the sons of him and the livestock of him?
Are you greater than our forefather Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself drank from it, as did also his sons and his cattle?"
13 Answered (*k*) Jesus and said to her; Everyone who is drinking of water this will thirst again.
"Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;
15 Says to Him the woman; Sir, do give me this water that not I may thirst nor (I may come *N(k)(o)*) here to draw.
"Sir," said the woman, "give me that water, that I may never be thirsty, nor continually come all the way here to draw from the well."
16 He says to her (*ko*) (Jesus: *KO*) do go do call the husband of you and do come here.
"Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back."
17 Answered the woman and said (to Him: *no*) Not I have a husband. Says to her Jesus; Correctly you have spoken that A husband not I have;
"I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you have no husband," said Jesus;
18 Five for husbands you have had, and now he whom you have not is your husband; this truly you have spoken.
"for you have had five husbands, and the man you have at present is not your husband. You have spoken the truth in saying that."
19 Says to Him the woman; Sir, I understand that a prophet are You yourself.
"Sir," replied the woman, "I see that you are a Prophet.
20 The fathers of us on mountain this worshiped, and you yourselves say that in Jerusalem is the place where to worship it is necessary.
Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."
21 Says to her Jesus; (do believe *N(k)O*) Me, woman, that is coming an hour when neither [you will worship] on mountain this nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
"Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 You yourselves worship what not you know, we ourselves worship what we know, for salvation of the Jews is.
You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 But is coming an hour and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; also for the Father such seeks who worship Him.
But a time is coming--nay, has already come--when the true worshippers will worship the Father with true spiritual worship; for indeed the Father desires such worshippers.
24 Spirit God [is], and those worshiping Him in spirit and truth it behooves to worship.
God is Spirit; and those who worship Him must bring Him true spiritual worship."
25 Says to Him the woman; I know that Messiah is coming, who is called Christ, when may come He, He will tell us (all things. *N(k)O*)
"I know," replied the woman, "that Messiah is coming--'the Christ,' as He is called. When He has come, He will tell us everything."
26 Says to her Jesus; I myself am [He], who is speaking to you.
"I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you."
27 And upon this came the disciples of Him and (were amazed *N(k)O*) that with a woman He was speaking; no [one] however said; What seek You? Or Why speak You with her?
Just then His disciples came, and were surprised to find Him talking with a woman. Yet not one of them asked Him, "What is your wish?" or "Why are you talking with her?"
28 Left then the water pot of her the woman and went away into the city and says to the men;
The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called the people.
29 Come, do see a man who told me all things (as much as *NK(o)*) I did; surely not ever this is the Christ?
"Come," she said, "and see a man who has told me everything I have ever done. Can this be the Christ, do you think?"
30 They went forth (therefore *K*) out of the city and were coming unto Him.
They left the town and set out to go to Him.
31 But in (now *k*) the meantime were asking Him the disciples saying; Rabbi, do eat.
Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, "eat something."
32 But He said to them; I myself food have to eat that you yourselves not know.
"I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know."
33 Were saying therefore the disciples to one another; Surely not one did bring to Him [something] to eat?
So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"
34 Says to them Jesus; My own food is that (I may do *N(k)O*) the will of the [One who] having sent Me and may finish of Him the work.
"My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, and fully to accomplish His work.
35 Surely you yourselves say that yet (four months *N(k)O*) it is and the harvest comes? Behold I say to you; do lift up the eyes of you and do see the fields because white they are toward harvest already!
Do you not say, 'It wants four months yet to the harvest'? But look round, I tell you, and observe these plains-- they are already ripe for the sickle.
36 (and *k*) the [one] reaping a reward receives and he gathers fruit unto life eternal, so that (both *k*) who is sowing together may rejoice and who is reaping. (aiōnios g166)
The reaper gets pay and gathers in a crop in preparation for the Life of the Ages, that so the sower and the reapers may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 In for this the saying is (*k*) true that One is who is sowing and another [is] the [one] who is reaping.
For it is in this that you see the real meaning of the saying, 'The sower is one person, and the reaper is another.'
38 I myself sent you to reap what not you yourselves have toiled for; others have toiled, and you yourselves into the labor of them have entered.
I sent you to reap a harvest which is not the result of your own labours. Others have laboured, and you are getting benefit from their labours."
39 Out of now the city that many believed in Him of the Samaritans because of the word of the woman testifying that He told me all things (whatever *N(k)O*) I did.
Of the Samaritan population of that town a good many believed in Him because of the woman's statement when she declared, "He has told me all that I have ever done."
40 When therefore came to Him the Samaritans, they were asking Him to abide with them. and He stayed there two days.
When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
41 And many more believed because of the word of Him,
Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words,
42 and to the woman they were saying that no longer no longer because of your speech we believe; we ourselves for have heard and we know that this is truly the Savior of the world (the Christ. *K*)
and they said to the woman, "We no longer believe in Him simply because of your statements; for we have now heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Saviour of the world."
43 After then the two days He went forth from there (and went away *K*) into Galilee.
After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee;
44 Himself for (*k*) Jesus testified that a prophet in the own hometown honor not has.
though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country.
45 When therefore He came into Galilee, received Him the Galileans all things having seen (how much *N(k)O*) He had done in Jerusalem during the feast; also themselves for they had gone to the feast.
When however He reached Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed Him eagerly, having been eye-witnesses of all that He had done in Jerusalem at the Festival; for they also had been to the Festival.
46 He came therefore (Jesus *k*) again to Cana of Galilee, where He had made the water wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son was sick in Capernaum.
So He came once more to Cana in Galilee, where He had made the water into wine. Now there was a certain officer of the King's court whose son was ill at Capernaum.
47 He having heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, went to Him and was asking (him *k*) that He may come down and He may heal his son; he was about for to die.
Having heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee, he came to Him and begged Him to go down and cure his son; for he was at the point of death.
48 Said therefore Jesus to him; only unless signs and wonders you [people] may see, certainly not shall you believe.
"Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe."
49 Says to Him the royal official; Sir, do come down before to die the child of mine.
"Sir," pleaded the officer, "come down before my child dies."
50 Says to him Jesus; do go, the son of you lives. (and *k*) Believed the man in the word (that *N(k)O*) said to him Jesus, and he was going.
"You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;
51 Already then when he is going down the servants of him (met *N(k)O*) with him (and reported *ko*) saying that the boy (of him *N(K)O*) lives.
and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.
52 He inquired therefore the hour from them in which better he got. (and *k*) They said (therefore *NO*) to him that Yesterday at hour seventh left him the fever.
So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "the fever left him."
53 Knew therefore the father that [it was] in that [very] hour at which said to him Jesus (that: *k*) The son of You lives. And he believed himself and the household of him all.
Then the father recollected that that was the time at which Jesus had said to him, "Your son has recovered," and he and his whole household became believers.
54 This [is] (now *no*) again [the] second sign did Jesus having come out of Judea into Galilee.
This is the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.
