< John 4 >

1 Therefore when Yeshua knew that the Pharisees had heard, "Yeshua is making and baptizing more disciples than Yukhanan"
ⲁ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ϭⲉ ⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲣ ϩⲁϩ ⲙⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲱ ϥⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲉϩⲟⲩⲉ ⲓⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ
2 (although Yeshua himself did not baptize, but his disciples),
ⲃ̅ⲕⲁⲓⲧⲟⲓ ⲓⲥ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉⲛⲉϥⲃⲁⲡⲧⲓⲍⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲛⲉ
3 he left Yehuda, and departed again into Galila.
ⲅ̅ⲁϥⲕⲱ ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲛϯⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓⲁ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ
4 He needed to pass through Samaria.
ⲇ̅ⲛⲉ ϩⲁⲡⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲛ ⲧⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ
5 So he came to a city of Samaria, called Shekar, near the parcel of ground that Yaquv gave to his son, Yauseph.
ⲉ̅ⲁϥⲉⲓ ϭⲉ ⲉⲩⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲧⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲣⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲥⲩⲭⲁⲣ ϩⲁⲧⲙ ⲡϭⲱⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃ ⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲛⲓⲱⲥⲏⲫ ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ
6 Yaquv's well was there. Yeshua therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
ⲋ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲏⲅⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲧⲉ ⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃ ⲓⲥ ϭⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥϩⲓⲥⲉ ⲉϥⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ϩⲓ ⲧⲉϩⲓⲏ ⲁϥϩⲙⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉϫⲛ ⲧⲡⲏⲅⲏ ⲛⲉⲡⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϫⲡ ⲥⲟ ⲡⲉ
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Yeshua said to her, "Give me a drink."
ⲍ̅ⲁⲩⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲁ ⲉⲙⲉϩ ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲥ ⲧⲁⲥⲱ
8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
ⲏ̅ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲉⲁⲩⲃⲱⲕ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁⲟⲩⲟⲙϥ
9 The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, "How can you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" (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 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."
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 The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. From where do you get that living water?
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲕⲁⲇⲟⲥ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧⲕ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧϣⲱⲧⲉ ϣⲟⲕϩ ⲉⲩⲛⲧⲁⲕ ϭⲉ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲧⲱⲛ ⲙⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲟⲛϩ
12 Are you greater than our father, Yaquv, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, as did his children, and his livestock?"
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲙⲏ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲉⲛⲁⲁⲕ ⲉⲡⲉⲛⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϯ ⲛⲁⲛ ⲛⲧϣⲱⲧⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲁϥⲥⲱ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛϩⲏⲧⲥ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉϥⲧⲃⲛⲟⲟⲩⲉ
13 Yeshua answered her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,

14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to everlasting life." (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲥⲱ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉϯⲛⲁⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲉⲓⲃⲉ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϯⲛⲁⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϥⲛⲁϣⲱⲡⲉ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲛⲟⲩⲡⲏⲅⲏ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉϥϥⲱϭⲉ ⲉⲩⲱⲛϩ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
15 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I do not get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw."
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲙⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲙⲡⲉⲓⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉⲛⲛⲁⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲉⲡⲉⲉⲓⲙⲁ ⲉⲙⲉϩ ⲙⲟⲟⲩ
16 He said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."

17 The woman answered and said to him, "I have no husband." Yeshua said to her, "You said well, 'I have no husband,'
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲁⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲉⲥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲙⲛϯ ϩⲁⲉⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲗⲱⲥ ⲁϫⲟⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛϯ ϩⲁⲉⲓ
18 for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly."

19 The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you say that in Urishlim is the place where people ought to worship."

21 Yeshua said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Urishlim, will you worship the Father.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲛⲁⲓ ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲩ ⲉⲛⲧⲉⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲓⲱⲧ ⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲉⲓⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲧⲉ ϩⲛ ⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ
22 You worship that which you do not know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲉϥϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ
23 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.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲥⲛⲏⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲛⲣⲉϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲙⲡⲓⲱⲧ ϩⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲛⲁ ⲙⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲁ ϩⲟⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲓⲙⲓⲛⲉ ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲟⲩⲱϣⲧ ⲛⲁϥ
24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

25 The woman said to him, "I know that Meshikha comes," (he who is called Meshikha). "When he has come, he will declare to us all things."
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲙⲉⲥⲥⲓⲁⲥ ⲛⲏⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ ⲉⲣϣⲁⲛⲡⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲓ ϥⲛⲁⲧⲁⲙⲟⲛ ⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ
26 Yeshua said to her, "I am he, the one who speaks to you."
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉⲧϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲉ
27 At this, his disciples came. They were surprised that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, "What are you looking for?" or, "Why do you speak 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 So the woman left her water pot, and went away into the city, and said to the people,

29 "Come, see a man who told me everything that I did. Can this be the Meshikha?"
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲏⲉⲓⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲁϥϫⲱ ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲁⲁⲩ ⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲡⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲭⲥ
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
ⲗ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲏⲩ ϭⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲩⲛⲏⲩ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ
31 In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."

32 But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you do not know about."

33 The disciples therefore said one to another, "Has anyone brought him something to eat?"

34 Yeshua said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.

35 Do you not say, 'There are yet four months until the harvest?' Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes and see the fields, that they are white for harvest already.

36 He who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to everlasting life; that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)

37 For in this the saying is true, 'One sows, and another reaps.'

38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored. Others have labored, and you have 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 did."
ⲗ̅ⲑ̅ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲇⲉ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲛⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲥϩⲓⲙⲉ ⲉⲥⲣ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁϥϫⲱ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲁⲁⲩ
40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
ⲙ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲉⲓ ϭⲉ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲥⲁⲙⲁⲣⲓⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩⲥⲉⲡⲥⲱⲡϥ ⲉϭⲱ ϩⲁϩⲧⲏⲩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥϭⲱ ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ
41 Many more believed because of his word.
ⲙ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲉⲛⲁϣⲱϥ ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲡⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ
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 Savior 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 from there to Galila.

44 For Yeshua himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
ⲙ̅ⲇ̅ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲓⲥ ⲁϥⲣ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϫⲉ ⲙⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲧⲁⲓⲟ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉϥϯⲙⲉ ⲙⲙⲓⲛ ⲙⲙⲟϥ
45 So when he came into Galila, the Galilaye received him, having seen all the things that he did in Urishlim at the feast, for they also went to the feast.
ⲙ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲁⲩϣⲟⲡϥ ⲉⲣⲟⲟⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲟⲥ ⲉⲁⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲁⲁⲩ ϩⲛ ⲑⲓⲉⲣⲟⲩⲥⲁⲗⲏⲙ ϩⲙ ⲡϣⲁ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ϩⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲛ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉⲡϣⲁ ⲡⲉ
46 Yeshua came therefore again to Qatne of Galila, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Kepharnakhum.
ⲙ̅ⲋ̅ⲁϥⲉⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲕⲁⲛⲁ ⲛⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲣⲉ ⲡⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲣⲏⲣⲡ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲃⲁⲥⲓⲗⲓⲕⲟⲥ ⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ϣⲱⲛⲉ ϩⲛ ⲕⲁⲫⲁⲣⲛⲁⲟⲩⲙ
47 When he heard that Yeshua had come out of Yehuda into Galila, he went to him, and pleaded with him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was close to death.
ⲙ̅ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲓ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲥⲱⲧⲙ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓⲥ ⲉⲓ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ϯⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓⲁ ⲉⲧⲅⲁⲗⲓⲗⲁⲓⲁ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ ϣⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲥⲉⲡⲥⲱⲡϥ ϫⲉⲕⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲉⲉⲓ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲛϥⲧⲁⲗϭⲉ ⲡⲉϥϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲡⲉ
48 Yeshua therefore said to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe."
ⲙ̅ⲏ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲧⲙⲛⲁⲩ ⲉϩⲉⲛⲙⲁⲓⲛ ⲙⲛ ϩⲉⲛϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲙⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ
49 The nobleman said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies."
ⲙ̅ⲑ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲃⲁⲥⲓⲗⲓⲕⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲁⲙⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲉϣⲏⲧ ⲉⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉ ⲡⲁϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲟⲩ
50 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.
ⲛ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲃⲱⲕ ⲡⲉⲕϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲟⲛϩ ⲁϥⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲡϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥ ϫⲟⲟϥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲃⲱⲕ
51 As he was now going down, his servants met him, saying that his son was alive.
ⲛ̅ⲁ̅ⲉϥⲛⲏⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲁⲛⲉϥϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲧⲱⲙⲛⲧ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲕϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲟⲛϩ
52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, "Yesterday at one in the afternoon, the fever left him."
ⲛ̅ⲃ̅ⲁϥϫⲛⲟⲩⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲉⲡⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲙⲧⲟⲛ ⲛϩⲏⲧϥ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲡⲉϩⲙⲟⲙ ⲕⲁⲁϥ ⲙⲡⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϫⲡ ⲥⲁϣϥⲉ ⲛⲥⲁϥ
53 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.
ⲛ̅ⲅ̅ⲁϥⲉⲓⲙⲉ ⲛϭⲓ ⲡⲉϥⲉⲓⲱⲧ ϫⲉ ⲡⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥ ϫⲟⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲉⲕϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲟⲛϩ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁϥⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲛⲧⲟϥ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲏⲉⲓ ⲧⲏⲣϥ
54 This is again the second sign that Yeshua did, having come out of Yehuda into Galila.
