John 4
1 Now as soon as the Master was aware that the Pharisees had heard it said, "Jesus is gaining and baptizing more disciples than John"--
ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϭⲉ ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲣ ϩⲁϩ ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉ ⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ
2 though Jesus Himself did not baptize them, but His disciples did--

3 He left Judaea and returned to Galilee.

4 His road lay through Samaria,
ⲇ̅ⲛⲉ ϩⲁⲡⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ
5 and so He came to Sychar, a town in Samaria near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

6 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.
ⲋ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲏⲅⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃ ⲓⲥ ϭⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲓ ⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲁϥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲛ ⲧⲡⲏⲅⲏ ⲛⲉⲡⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϫⲡ ⲥⲟ ⲡⲉ
7 Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;

8 for His disciples were gone to the town to buy provisions.

9 "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.)
ⲑ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲥ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲛⲧⲕ ⲟⲩⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲛⲁϣ ⲛϩⲉ ⲕⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲥⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧ ⲉⲁⲛⲅ ⲟⲩⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲱϩ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ
10 "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."
ⲓ̅ⲁⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲧⲇⲱⲣⲉⲁ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲥ ⲧⲁⲥⲱ ⲛⲧⲟ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲛⲁⲁⲓⲧⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⲛϥϯ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲟⲛϩ
11 "Sir," she said, "you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; so where can you get the living water from?

12 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 "Every one," replied Jesus, "who drinks any of this water will be thirsty again;

15 "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."
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲙⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲁⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲡⲉⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲉⲙⲉϩ ⲙⲟⲟⲩ
16 "Go and call your husband," said Jesus; "and come back."

17 "I have no husband," she replied. "You rightly say that you have no husband," said Jesus;

18 "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."

20 Our forefathers worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem."

21 "Believe me," said Jesus, "the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.

22 You worship One of whom you know nothing. We worship One whom we know; for salvation comes from the Jews.

23 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.

25 "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 "I am He," said Jesus--"I who am now talking to you."
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉⲧϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲉ
27 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?"
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩⲣ ϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙⲉⲛⲧⲟⲓ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲕϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲟⲩ ⲏ ⲁϩⲣⲟⲕ ⲕϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲥ
28 The woman however, leaving her pitcher, went away to the town, and called the people.

29 "Come," she said, "and see a man who has told me everything I have ever done. Can this be the Christ, do you think?"
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲏⲉⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲁϥϫⲱ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲁⲁⲩ ⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
30 They left the town and set out to go to Him.
ⲗ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲏⲩ ϭⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲩⲛⲏⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ
31 Meanwhile the disciples were urging Jesus. "Rabbi," they said, "eat something."
ⲗ̅ⲁ̅ϩⲛ ⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲥⲉⲡⲥⲱⲡϥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲃⲃⲉⲓ ⲟⲩⲱⲙ
32 "I have food to eat," He replied, "of which you do not know."

33 So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"

34 "My food," said Jesus, "is to be obedient to Him who sent me, and fully to accomplish His work.

35 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 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 For it is in this that you see the real meaning of the saying, 'The sower is one person, and the reaper is another.'

39 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."
ⲗ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲛⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲥⲣ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁϥϫⲱ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲁⲁⲩ
40 When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.

41 Then a far larger number of people believed because of His own words,
ⲙ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱϥ ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ
42 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."
ⲙ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϭⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲟⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲁⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ ⲙⲡⲕⲟⲙⲟⲥ
43 After the two days He departed, and went into Galilee;
ⲙ̅ⲅ̅ⲙⲛⲛⲥⲁ ⲡϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ
44 though Jesus Himself declared that a Prophet has no honour in his own country.

45 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.
ⲙ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲁⲩϣⲟⲡϥ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲁⲁⲩ ϩⲛ ⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ϩⲙ ⲡϣⲁ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲡϣⲁ ⲡⲉ
46 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 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 "Unless you and others see miracles and marvels," said Jesus, "nothing will induce you to believe."

50 "You may return home," replied Jesus; "your son has recovered." He believed the words of Jesus, and started back home;
ⲛ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲡⲉⲕϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲟⲛϩ ⲁϥⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥ ϫⲟⲟϥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ
51 and he was already on his way down when his servants met him and told him that his son was alive and well.

52 So he inquired of them at what hour he had shown improvement. "Yesterday, about seven o'clock," they replied, "the fever left him."

53 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 the second miracle that Jesus performed, after coming from Judaea into Galilee.
