Κατα Ιωαννην 4
1 ως ουν εγνω ο κυριος οτι ηκουσαν οι φαρισαιοι οτι ιησους πλειονας μαθητας ποιει και βαπτιζει η ιωαννης
When Jesus realized that the Pharisees had discovered that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John,
2 καιτοιγε ιησους αυτος ουκ εβαπτιζεν αλλ οι μαθηται αυτου
(although it wasn't Jesus who was baptizing, but his disciples),
3 αφηκεν την ιουδαιαν και απηλθεν εις την γαλιλαιαν
he left Judea and returned to Galilee.
4 εδει δε αυτον διερχεσθαι δια της σαμαρειας
On the way he had to pass through Samaria.
5 ερχεται ουν εις πολιν της σαμαρειας λεγομενην συχαρ πλησιον του χωριου ο εδωκεν ιακωβ ιωσηφ τω υιω αυτου
So he came to the Samaritan city of Sychar, near to the field that Jacob had given his son Joseph.
6 ην δε εκει πηγη του ιακωβ ο ουν ιησους κεκοπιακως εκ της οδοιποριας εκαθεζετο ουτως επι τη πηγη ωρα ην ωσει εκτη
Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, who was tired from the journey, sat straight down beside the well. It was around noon.
7 ερχεται γυνη εκ της σαμαρειας αντλησαι υδωρ λεγει αυτη ο ιησους δος μοι πιειν
A Samaritan woman came to fetch water. Jesus said to her, “Please could you give me a drink?”
8 οι γαρ μαθηται αυτου απεληλυθεισαν εις την πολιν ινα τροφας αγορασωσιν
for his disciples had gone to the town to buy food.
9 λεγει ουν αυτω η γυνη η σαμαρειτις πως συ ιουδαιος ων παρ εμου πιειν αιτεις ουσης γυναικος σαμαρειτιδος ου γαρ συγχρωνται ιουδαιοι σαμαρειταις
“You're a Jew, and I'm a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” the woman replied, for Jews don't associate with Samaritans.
10 απεκριθη ιησους και ειπεν αυτη ει ηδεις την δωρεαν του θεου και τις εστιν ο λεγων σοι δος μοι πιειν συ αν ητησας αυτον και εδωκεν αν σοι υδωρ ζων
Jesus answered her, “If you only recognized God's gift, and who is asking you, ‘Please could you give me a drink?’ you would have asked him and he would have given you the water of life.”
11 λεγει αυτω η γυνη κυριε ουτε αντλημα εχεις και το φρεαρ εστιν βαθυ ποθεν ουν εχεις το υδωρ το ζων
“Sir, you don't have a bucket, and the well is deep. Where are you going to get the water of life from?” she replied.
12 μη συ μειζων ει του πατρος ημων ιακωβ ος εδωκεν ημιν το φρεαρ και αυτος εξ αυτου επιεν και οι υιοι αυτου και τα θρεμματα αυτου
“Our father Jacob gave us the well. He drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock. Are you greater than he?”
13 απεκριθη ιησους και ειπεν αυτη πας ο πινων εκ του υδατος τουτου διψησει παλιν
Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks water from this well will become thirsty again.
15 λεγει προς αυτον η γυνη κυριε δος μοι τουτο το υδωρ ινα μη διψω μηδε ερχωμαι ενθαδε αντλειν
“Sir,” replied the woman, “Please give me this water so I won't be thirsty, and I won't have to come here to fetch water!”
16 λεγει αυτη ο ιησους υπαγε φωνησον τον ανδρα σου και ελθε ενθαδε
“Go and call your husband, and come back here,” Jesus told her.
17 απεκριθη η γυνη και ειπεν ουκ εχω ανδρα λεγει αυτη ο ιησους καλως ειπας οτι ανδρα ουκ εχω
“I don't have a husband,” the woman answered. “You're right in saying you don't have a husband,” Jesus told her.
18 πεντε γαρ ανδρας εσχες και νυν ον εχεις ουκ εστιν σου ανηρ τουτο αληθες ειρηκας
“You've had five husbands, and the one you're living with now is not your husband. So what you say is true!”
19 λεγει αυτω η γυνη κυριε θεωρω οτι προφητης ει συ
“I can see you're a prophet, sir,” the woman replied.
20 οι πατερες υμων εν τω ορει τουτω προσεκυνησαν και υμεις λεγετε οτι εν ιεροσολυμοις εστιν ο τοπος οπου δει προσκυνειν
“Tell me this: our ancestors worshiped here on this mountain, but you say that Jerusalem is where we must worship.”
21 λεγει αυτη ο ιησους γυναι πιστευσον μοι οτι ερχεται ωρα οτε ουτε εν τω ορει τουτω ουτε εν ιεροσολυμοις προσκυνησετε τω πατρι
Jesus replied, “Believe me the time is coming when you won't worship the Father either on this mountain or in Jerusalem.
22 υμεις προσκυνειτε ο ουκ οιδατε ημεις προσκυνουμεν ο οιδαμεν οτι η σωτηρια εκ των ιουδαιων εστιν
You really don't know the God you're worshiping, while we worship the God we know, for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 αλλ ερχεται ωρα και νυν εστιν οτε οι αληθινοι προσκυνηται προσκυνησουσιν τω πατρι εν πνευματι και αληθεια και γαρ ο πατηρ τοιουτους ζητει τους προσκυνουντας αυτον
But the time is coming—and in fact it's here already—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for these are the kind of worshipers the Father wants.
24 πνευμα ο θεος και τους προσκυνουντας αυτον εν πνευματι και αληθεια δει προσκυνειν
God is Spirit, so worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.”
25 λεγει αυτω η γυνη οιδα οτι μεσσιας ερχεται ο λεγομενος χριστος οταν ελθη εκεινος αναγγελει ημιν παντα
The woman said, “Well, I know that the Messiah is coming,” (the one who is called Christ). “When he comes he will explain it all to us.”
26 λεγει αυτη ο ιησους εγω ειμι ο λαλων σοι
Jesus replied, “I AM—the one who is speaking to you.”
27 και επι τουτω ηλθον οι μαθηται αυτου και εθαυμασαν οτι μετα γυναικος ελαλει ουδεις μεντοι ειπεν τι ζητεις η τι λαλεις μετ αυτης
Just then the disciples returned. They were shocked that he was talking to a woman, but none of them asked “What are you doing?” or “Why are you talking with her?”
28 αφηκεν ουν την υδριαν αυτης η γυνη και απηλθεν εις την πολιν και λεγει τοις ανθρωποις
The woman left her water jar behind and ran back to the town, telling the people,
29 δευτε ιδετε ανθρωπον ος ειπεν μοι παντα οσα εποιησα μητι ουτος εστιν ο χριστος
“Come and meet a man who told me everything I ever did! Could this be the Messiah?”
30 εξηλθον [ ουν ] εκ της πολεως και ηρχοντο προς αυτον
So they went out of the town to go and see him.
31 εν δε τω μεταξυ ηρωτων αυτον οι μαθηται λεγοντες ραββι φαγε
Meanwhile Jesus' disciples were urging him, “Rabbi, please eat something!”
32 ο δε ειπεν αυτοις εγω βρωσιν εχω φαγειν ην υμεις ουκ οιδατε
But Jesus replied, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
33 ελεγον ουν οι μαθηται προς αλληλους μη τις ηνεγκεν αυτω φαγειν
“Did someone bring him food?” the disciples asked one another.
34 λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους εμον βρωμα εστιν ινα ποιω το θελημα του πεμψαντος με και τελειωσω αυτου το εργον
Jesus told them, “My food is to do the will of the one who sent me, and to complete his work.
35 ουχ υμεις λεγετε οτι ετι τετραμηνος εστιν και ο θερισμος ερχεται ιδου λεγω υμιν επαρατε τους οφθαλμους υμων και θεασασθε τας χωρας οτι λευκαι εισιν προς θερισμον ηδη
Don't you have a saying, ‘four more months until harvest?’ Open your eyes and look around! The crops in the fields are ripe, ready for harvest.
36 και ο θεριζων μισθον λαμβανει και συναγει καρπον εις ζωην αιωνιον ινα και ο σπειρων ομου χαιρη και ο θεριζων (aiōnios g166)
The reaper is being paid and harvesting a crop for eternal life so that both the sower and the reaper can celebrate. (aiōnios g166)
37 εν γαρ τουτω ο λογος εστιν ο αληθινος οτι αλλος εστιν ο σπειρων και αλλος ο θεριζων
So the proverb ‘one sows, another reaps,’ is true.
38 εγω απεστειλα υμας θεριζειν ο ουχ υμεις κεκοπιακατε αλλοι κεκοπιακασιν και υμεις εις τον κοπον αυτων εισεληλυθατε
I sent you to reap what you didn't work for. Others did the hard work and you have reaped the benefits of what they did.”
39 εκ δε της πολεως εκεινης πολλοι επιστευσαν εις αυτον των σαμαρειτων δια τον λογον της γυναικος μαρτυρουσης οτι ειπεν μοι παντα οσα εποιησα
Many Samaritans from that town trusted in him because of what the woman said: “He told me everything I ever did.”
40 ως ουν ηλθον προς αυτον οι σαμαρειται ηρωτων αυτον μειναι παρ αυτοις και εμεινεν εκει δυο ημερας
So when they came to see him they pleaded with him to stay with them. He stayed for two days,
41 και πολλω πλειους επιστευσαν δια τον λογον αυτου
and because of what he told them many more trusted in him.
42 τη τε γυναικι ελεγον οτι ουκετι δια την σην λαλιαν πιστευομεν αυτοι γαρ ακηκοαμεν και οιδαμεν οτι ουτος εστιν αληθως ο σωτηρ του κοσμου ο χριστος
They said to the woman, “Now our trust in him isn't just because of what you told us but because we have heard him for ourselves. We're convinced that he really is the Savior of the world.”
43 μετα δε τας δυο ημερας εξηλθεν εκειθεν και απηλθεν εις την γαλιλαιαν
After the two days he continued on to Galilee.
44 αυτος γαρ ο ιησους εμαρτυρησεν οτι προφητης εν τη ιδια πατριδι τιμην ουκ εχει
Jesus himself had made the comment that a prophet is not respected in his own country.
45 οτε ουν ηλθεν εις την γαλιλαιαν εδεξαντο αυτον οι γαλιλαιοι παντα εωρακοτες α εποιησεν εν ιεροσολυμοις εν τη εορτη και αυτοι γαρ ηλθον εις την εορτην
But when he arrived in Galilee, the people welcomed him, because they had also been at the Passover feast and had seen everything he'd done in Jerusalem.
46 ηλθεν ουν παλιν ο ιησους εις την κανα της γαλιλαιας οπου εποιησεν το υδωρ οινον και ην τις βασιλικος ου ο υιος ησθενει εν καπερναουμ
He visited Cana in Galilee again, where he had turned water into wine. Nearby in the town of Capernaum lived a royal official whose son was very sick.
47 ουτος ακουσας οτι ιησους ηκει εκ της ιουδαιας εις την γαλιλαιαν απηλθεν προς αυτον και ηρωτα αυτον ινα καταβη και ιασηται αυτου τον υιον ημελλεν γαρ αποθνησκειν
When he heard that Jesus had returned from Judea to Galilee, he went to Jesus and begged him to come and heal his son who was close to death.
48 ειπεν ουν ο ιησους προς αυτον εαν μη σημεια και τερατα ιδητε ου μη πιστευσητε
“Unless you see signs and wonders you people really won't trust me,” said Jesus.
49 λεγει προς αυτον ο βασιλικος κυριε καταβηθι πριν αποθανειν το παιδιον μου
“Lord, just come before my child dies,” the official pleaded.
50 λεγει αυτω ο ιησους πορευου ο υιος σου ζη και επιστευσεν ο ανθρωπος τω λογω ω ειπεν αυτω ο ιησους και επορευετο
“Go on home,” Jesus told him. “Your son will live!” The man trusted what Jesus told him and left for home.
51 ηδη δε αυτου καταβαινοντος οι δουλοι αυτου απηντησαν αυτω και απηγγειλαν λεγοντες οτι ο παις σου ζη
While he was on his way, his servants met him with the news that his son was alive and recovering.
52 επυθετο ουν παρ αυτων την ωραν εν η κομψοτερον εσχεν και ειπον αυτω οτι χθες ωραν εβδομην αφηκεν αυτον ο πυρετος
He asked them what time it was when his son began to get better. “Yesterday at one p.m. the fever left him,” they told him.
53 εγνω ουν ο πατηρ οτι εν εκεινη τη ωρα εν η ειπεν αυτω ο ιησους οτι ο υιος σου ζη και επιστευσεν αυτος και η οικια αυτου ολη
Then the father realized this was the precise time when Jesus had told him, “Your son will live!” So he and everyone in his household trusted in Jesus.
54 τουτο παλιν δευτερον σημειον εποιησεν ο ιησους ελθων εκ της ιουδαιας εις την γαλιλαιαν
This was the second miraculous sign Jesus did after coming from Judea to Galilee.
