Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Yeshua was making and immersing more disciples than Yochanan
(although Yeshua himself didn’t immerse, but his disciples),
he left Judea and departed into Galilee.
He needed to pass through Samaria.
So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 ⲋ̅ ⲛⲉⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲏⲅⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃ ⲓⲥ ϭⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲓ ⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲁϥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲛ ⲧⲡⲏⲅⲏ ⲛⲉⲡⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϫⲡ ⲥⲟ ⲡⲉ
Jacob’s well was there. Yeshua therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Yeshua said to her, “Give me a drink.”
For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
9 ⲑ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲥ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲛⲧⲕ ⲟⲩⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲛⲁϣ ⲛϩⲉ ⲕⲟⲩⲉϣ ⲥⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧ ⲉⲁⲛⲅ ⲟⲩⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲙⲉⲣⲉⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲱϩ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ
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.)
10 ⲓ̅ ⲁⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲧⲇⲱⲣⲉⲁ ⲙⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉⲧϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲥ ⲧⲁⲥⲱ ⲛⲧⲟ ⲛⲉⲣⲉⲛⲁⲁⲓⲧⲓ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⲛϥϯ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥⲟⲛϩ
Yeshua 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.”
11 ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲕⲁⲇⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧⲕ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧϣⲱⲧⲉ ϣⲟⲕϩ ⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁⲕ ϭⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲱⲛ ⲙⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ
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?
12 ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ ⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲉⲛⲁⲁⲕ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛⲧϣⲱⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲁϥⲥⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲧⲃⲛⲟⲟⲩⲉ
Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?”
Yeshua answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
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.”
Yeshua said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Yeshua said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’
for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”
The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”

Yeshua said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
22 ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ
You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.

But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshippers.
God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
25 ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲙⲉⲥⲥⲓⲁⲥ ⲛⲏⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲡⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲓ ϥⲛⲁⲧⲁⲙⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ
The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Messiah. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”
Yeshua said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”
27 ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩⲣ ϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲙⲡⲉⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲙⲉⲛⲧⲟⲓ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲕϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ⲟⲩ ⲏ ⲁϩⲣⲟⲕ ⲕϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲥ
Just then, his disciples came. They marvelled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”
So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,
“Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Messiah?”
They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”
Yeshua said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.

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.

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)
For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’

I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t laboured. Others have laboured, and you have entered into their labour.”

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.”
So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
Many more believed because of his word.
42 ⲙ̅ⲃ̅ ⲛⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ϭⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲟⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲛⲥⲱⲧⲙ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲁⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲥⲱⲧⲏⲣ ⲙⲡⲕⲟⲙⲟⲥ
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 Messiah, the Saviour of the world.”
After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.
For Yeshua himself testified that a prophet has no honour in his own country.
45 ⲙ̅ⲉ̅ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲁⲩϣⲟⲡϥ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲁⲁⲩ ϩⲛ ⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ϩⲙ ⲡϣⲁ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲡϣⲁ ⲡⲉ
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.
46 ⲙ̅ⲋ̅ ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲕⲁⲛⲁ ⲛⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲣⲉ ⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲣⲏⲣⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲃⲁⲥⲓⲗⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲱⲛⲉ ϩⲛ ⲕⲁⲫⲁⲣⲛⲁⲟⲩⲙ
Yeshua 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.
47 ⲙ̅ⲍ̅ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲥ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ϯⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓⲁ ⲉⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲥⲉⲡⲥⲱⲡϥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲛϥⲧⲁⲗϭⲉ ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ
When he heard that Yeshua 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.
Yeshua therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”
The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
Yeshua said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Yeshua spoke to him, and he went his way.
As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”
So he enquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.”
53 ⲛ̅ⲅ̅ ⲁϥⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲱⲧ ϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲕϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲟⲛϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲏⲉⲓ ⲧⲏⲣϥ
So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Yeshua said to him, “Your son lives.” He believed, as did his whole house.
This is again the second sign that Yeshua did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
