John 4
1 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
And Jesus knew, that the Pharisees had heard; that he made many disciples, and baptized more than John.
2 (although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),
Yet Jesus himself did not baptize but his disciples.
3 he left Judea and departed into Galilee.
And he left Judaea, and went again into Galilee.
4 He needed to pass through Samaria.
And in going, he had occasion to pass through the midst of the Samaritans.
5 So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
And he came to a city of the Samaritans called Sychar, near the field which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
And Jacob's well of water was there. And Jesus was weary with the toil of travelling, and seated himself by the well: and it was at the sixth hour.
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”
And a woman from Samaria came to draw water. And Jesus said to her: Give me water to drink.
8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
And his disciples had gone to the city, to buy themselves food.
9 The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
The Samaritan woman said to him: How dost thou, a Jew, ask drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? For the Jews have no familiarity with Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
Jesus replied and said to her: If thou hadst known 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 waters.
11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?
The woman said to him: My lord, thou hast no bucket, and the well is deep.; how hast thou living waters?
12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?”
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well, and drank from it himself, and his children, and his flocks?
13 Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
Jesus replied and said to her: Whoever shall drink of these waters, will thirst again;
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”
The woman said to him: My lord, give me of these waters, that I may not thirst again, and may not come to draw from here.
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
Jesus said to her: Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’
She said to him: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: Thou hast well said, I have no husband;
18 for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”
for thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband. In this thou didst speak truly.
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
The woman said to him: My lord, I perceive thou art a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; but ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where it is proper to worship.
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
Jesus said to her: Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, ye will worship the Father.
22 You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
Ye worship, ye know not what; but we worship what we know; for life is from the Jews.
23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father requireth that worshippers be such.
24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
For God is a Spirit; and they that worship him, should worship in spirit and in truth.
25 The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”
The woman said to him: I know that Messiah will come; and when he cometh, he will teach us every thing.
26 Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”
Jesus said to her: I, who talk with thee, am he.
27 Just then, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”
And while he was speaking, his disciples came. And they wondered that he would converse with the woman; yet no one said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
28 So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,
And the woman left her water-pot, and went to the city, and said to the people:
29 “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?”
Come, see a man that told me every thing I ever did: is not this the Messiah?
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
And the people went out of the city, and came to him.
31 In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
In the mean time, his disciples entreated him, and said to him: Our Rabbi, eat.
32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
But he said to them: I have food to eat, of which ye are ignorant.
33 The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”
The disciples said among themselves: Hath any one brought him something to eat?
34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.
Jesus said to them: My food is to do the pleasure of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work.
35 Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest’? Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.
Do ye not say, that after four months cometh the harvest? Behold, I say to you, and lift up your eyes, and look upon the grounds, that they are white, and have already come to the harvest.
36 He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
And he that reapeth, receiveth wages, and gathereth fruits unto life eternal; and the sower and the reaper equally rejoice. (aiōnios g166)
37 For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’
For in this, is the proverb true, that one is the sower, and another the reaper.
38 I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
I sent you to reap that, on which ye labored not: for others toiled, and ye entered into their labor.
39 From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “He told me everything that I have done.”
And many Samaritans of that city believed on him, because of the discourse of the woman, who testified, He told me all that I ever did.
40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
And when these Samaritans came to him, they requested him to tarry with them; and he remained with them two days.
41 Many more believed because of his word.
And many believed on him, because of his discourse.
42 They said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
And they said to the woman: Henceforth we believe in him, not on account of thy word; for we have heard him ourselves, and we know that he truly is the Messiah, the Life-Giver of the world.
43 After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.
And after two days Jesus departed from there and went into Galilee.
44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet is not honored in his own city.
45 So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.
And when he came to Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the signs which he wrought in Jerusalem at the feast, for they too had gone to the feast.
46 Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
And Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was at Capernaum a king's servant, whose son was sick.
47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.
He heard that Jesus had come from Judaea to Galilee; and he went to him, and besought him that he would come down and heal his son; for he was near dying.
48 Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”
Jesus said to him: Unless ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
49 The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
The king's servant said to him: My lord, come down, before the child dieth.
50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
Jesus said to him: Go, thy son liveth. And the man believed the word which Jesus spake to him, and went away.
51 As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”
And as he was going down, his servants met him, and informed him and said to him: Thy son liveth.
52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.”
And he asked them, at what time he recovered. And they said to 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 to him, “Your son lives.” He believed, as did his whole house.
And his father knew, that it was at the hour in which Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth. And he believed, and all his house.
54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
This again was the second sign that Jesus wrought, when he came from Judaea to Galilee.
