John 4
1 When therefore the Lord knew, that the Pharisees had heard—Jesus, more disciples, is making and immersing, than John, —
Therfor as Jhesu knew, that the Farisees herden, that Jhesu makith and baptisith mo disciplis than Joon,
2 although indeed, Jesus himself, was not immersing, but his disciples,
thouy Jhesus baptiside not, but hise disciplis, he lefte Judee,
3 he left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
and wente ayen in to Galilee.
4 Now he must needs pass through Samaria.
And it bihofte hym to passe bi Samarie.
5 He cometh, therefore, unto a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of ground which Jacob gave unto Joseph his son.
Therfor Jhesus cam in to a citee of Samarie, that is seid Sicar, bisidis the place, that Jacob yaf to Joseph, his sone.
6 Now Jacob’s fountain was there. Jesus, therefore, having become toil-worn with the journey, was sitting thus, upon the fountain. It was about the sixth hour.
And the welle of Jacob was there; and Jhesus was weri of the iourney, and sat thus vpon the welle. And the our was, as it were the sixte.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith unto her—Give me to drink!
And a womman cam fro Samarie, to drawe watir. And Jhesus seith to hir, Yyue me drynk.
8 for, his disciples, had gone away into the city, that, food, they might buy.
And hise disciplis weren gon in to the citee, to bie mete.
9 The Samaritan woman, therefore, saith unto him—How dost, thou, being, a Jew, ask to drink, of me, who am, a Samaritan woman? [for, Jews, have no dealings with Samaritans.]
Therfor thilke womman of Samarie seith to him, Hou thou, `whanne thou art a Jewe, axist of me drynk, that am a womman of Samarie? for Jewis vsiden not to dele with Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered, and said unto her—If thou hadst known the free gift of God, and who it is that is saying unto thee, Give me to drink, thou, wouldst have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.
Jhesus answerde, and seide to hir, If thou wistist the yifte of God, and who `he is, that seith to thee, Yyue me drynk, thou perauenture woldist haue axid of hym, and he schulde haue youun to thee quyk watir.
11 She saith unto him—Sir! not even a bucket, hast thou, —and, the well, is, deep: —Whence, then, hast thou the living water?
The womman seith to him, Sire, thou hast not where ynne to drawe, and the pit is deep; wherof thanne hast thou quik watir?
12 Art, thou, greater than, our father Jacob, who gave us the well, —and, himself, out of it drank, and his sons, and his flocks?
Whethir thou art grettere than oure fadir Jacob, that yaf to vs the pit? and he drank therof, and hise sones, and hise beestis.
13 Jesus answered, and said unto her—Whosoever drinketh of this water, will thirst, again;
Jhesus answerde, and seide to hir, Eche man that drynkith of this watir, schal thirste efte soone;
15 The woman saith unto him—Sir! give me this water, that I thirst not, neither be coming hither to draw.
The womman seith to hym, Sire, yyue me this watir, that Y thirste not, nether come hidur to drawe.
16 He saith unto her—Go, call thy husband, and come hither!
Jhesus seith to hir, Go, clepe thin hosebonde, and come hidir.
17 The woman answered, and said [unto him]—I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her—Well, saidst thou, A husband, I have not;
The womman answerde, and seide, Y haue noon hosebonde. Jhesus seith to hir, Thou seidist wel, That Y haue noon hosebonde;
18 for, five husbands, thou hast had, —and, now, he whom thou hast, is not thy, husband: This true thing, hast thou spoken.
for thou hast hadde fyue hosebondis, and he that thou hast, is not thin hosebonde. This thing thou seidist sotheli.
19 The woman saith unto him—Sir! I perceive that, a prophet, art, thou: —
The womman seith to hym, Lord, Y se, that thou art a prophete.
20 Our fathers, in this mountain, worshipped; and, ye, say, that, in Jerusalem, is the place, where, to worship, it behoveth.
Oure fadris worschipiden in this hil, and ye seien, that at Jerusalem is a place, where it bihoueth to worschipe.
21 Jesus saith unto her—Believe me, woman! There cometh an hour, when, neither in this mountain, nor yet in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.
Jhesus seith to hir, Womman, bileue thou to me, for the our schal come, whanne nether in this hil, nethir in Jerusalem, ye schulen worschipe the fadir.
22 Ye, worship, that which ye know not; We, worship, that which we know; because, salvation, is, of the Jews.
Ye worschipen that ye knowen not; we worschipen that that we knowen; for helthe is of the Jewis.
23 But there cometh an hour, and, now, is, —when, the real worshippers, shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for, even the Father, is seeking, such as these, as his worshippers.
But the tyme is comun, and now it is, whanne trewe worschiperis schulen worschipe the fadir in spirit and treuthe; for also the fadir sekith suche, that worschipen hym.
24 God is, spirit; and, they that worship him, in spirit and truth, must needs worship.
God is a spirit, and it bihoueth hem that worschipen hym, to worschipe in spirit and treuthe.
25 The woman saith unto him—I know that, Messiah, cometh, who is called Christ, —Whensoever, he, shall come, he will tell us, everything.
The womman seith to hym, Y woot that Messias is comun, that is seid Crist; therfor whanne he cometh, he schal telle vs alle thingis.
26 Jesus saith unto her—I, that speak unto thee, am he.
Jhesus seith to hir, Y am he, that spekith with thee.
27 And, hereupon, came his disciples, and they began to marvel, that, with a woman, he was talking. No one, however, said—What seekest thou? or—Why talkest thou with her?
And anoon hise disciplis camen, and wondriden, that he spak with the womman; netheles no man seide to hym, What sekist thou, or, What spekist thou with hir?
28 The woman, therefore, left her water-vessel, and went away into the city, and saith unto the men—
Therfor the womman lefte hir watir pot, and wente in to the citee, and seide to tho men,
29 Come! see a man, that told me all things that ever I did: Can, this, be, the Christ?
Come ye, and se ye a man, that seide to me alle thingis that Y haue don; whether he be Crist?
30 They came forth out of the city, and were coming unto him.
And thei wenten out of the citee, and camen to hym.
31 In the meantime, the disciples were requesting him, saying—Rabbi! eat.
In the mene while hise disciplis preieden hym, and seiden, Maistir, ete.
32 But, he, said unto them—I, have, food, to eat, of which, ye, know not.
But he seide to hem, Y haue mete to ete, that ye knowen not.
33 The disciples, therefore, began to say, one to another—Hath anyone brought him, to eat?
Therfor disciplis seiden togidir, Whether ony man hath brouyt him mete to ete?
34 Jesus saith unto them—My food, is, that I should do the will of him that sent me, and complete, his work.
Jhesus seith to hem, My mete is, that Y do the wille of hym that sente me, that Y perfourme the werk of hym.
35 Are, ye, not saying—Yet, a fourmonth, it is, and, the harvest, cometh? Lo! I say unto you—Lift up your eyes, and gaze at the fields, —that, white, are they unto, harvest. Already,
Whether ye seien not, that yit foure monethis ben, and rype corn cometh? Lo! Y seie to you, lifte vp youre iyen, and se ye the feeldis, for now thei ben white to repe.
36 he that reapeth, receiveth, a reward, and gathereth fruit unto life age-abiding; that, he that soweth, together may rejoice, with him that reapeth. (aiōnios g166)
And he that repith takith hire, and gaderith fruyt in to euerlastynge lijf; that bothe he that sowith, and he that repith, haue ioye togidere. (aiōnios g166)
37 For, herein, doth the saying, hold good, —One, is the sower, and, another, is the reaper.
In this thing is the word trewe, for anothir is that sowith, and anothir that repith.
38 I, sent you forth, to be reaping that whereon, ye, have not toiled: Others, have toiled, and, ye, into their toil, have entered.
Y sente you to repe, that that ye `haue not trauelid; `othere men han trauelid, and ye han entrid `in to her trauels.
39 And, out of that city, many, believed on him—of the Samaritans, —by reason of the word of the woman in bearing witness—He told me all things that ever I did.
And of that citee many Samaritans bileueden in hym, for the word of the womman, that bare witnessyng, That he seide to me alle thingis that Y haue don.
40 When, therefore, the Samaritans came unto him, they went on to request him to abide with them; and he abode there two days.
Therfor whanne Samaritans camen to hym, thei preieden hym to dwelle there; and he dwelte there twey daies.
41 And, many more, believed by reason of his discourse;
And many mo bileueden for his word,
42 and, unto the woman, began to say—No longer, by reason of thy talk, do we believe; for, we ourselves, have heard, and know that, This One, is, in truth, the Saviour of the world.
and seiden to the womman, That now not for thi speche we bileuen; for we han herd, and we witen, that this is verili the sauyour of the world.
43 But, after the two days, he went forth from thence, into Galilee.
And aftir twei daies he wente out fro thennus, and wente in to Galilee.
44 For, Jesus himself, bare witness, that, a prophet, in his own fatherland, hath not, honour.
And he bar witnessyng, that a profete in his owne cuntre hath noon onour.
45 So, when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans welcomed him, having seen, all things, whatsoever he had done in Jerusalem during the feast; for, they also, went unto the feast.
Therfor whanne he cam in to Galilee, men of Galilee resseyueden hym, whanne thei hadden seyn alle thingis that he hadde don in Jerusalem in the feeste dai; for also thei hadden comun to the feeste dai.
46 So he came again into Cana of Galilee, where he had made the water, wine. And there was a certain courtier, whose son was sick, in Capernaum.
Therfor he cam eftsoone in to the Cane of Galile, where he made the watir wiyn. And `a litil kyng was, whos sone was sijk at Cafarnaum.
47 The same, hearing that Jesus had come out of Judaea into Galilee, came away unto him, and began requesting him, that he would come down and heal his son; for he was on the point of dying.
Whanne this hadde herd, that Jhesu schulde come fro Judee in to Galilee, he wente to hym, and preiede hym, that he schulde come doun, and heele his sone; for he bigan to die.
48 Jesus therefore said unto him—Except, signs and wonders, ye see, in nowise will ye believe.
Therfor Jhesus seide to him, But ye se tokenes and grete wondris, ye bileuen not.
49 The courtier saith unto him—Sir! come down, ere my child die!
The litil kyng seith to hym, Lord, come doun, bifor that my sone die.
50 Jesus saith unto him—Be going thy way: thy son, liveth! And the man believed in the word which Jesus spake to him, and at once went his way.
Jhesus seith to hym, Go, thi sone lyueth. The man bileuede to the word, that Jhesus seide to hym, and he wente.
51 And, when he was even now going down, his servants, met him, saying, that, his boy, was living.
And now whanne he cam doun, the seruauntis camen ayens hym, and telden to hym, and seiden, That his sone lyuede.
52 So he enquired the hour, from them, when he began, to amend. They said, therefore, unto him—Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.
And he axide of hem the our, in which he was amendid. And thei seiden to hym, For yistirdai in the seuenthe our the feuer lefte him.
53 So the father took note that it was, in that hour, wherein Jesus said unto him—Thy son, liveth! and he believed, he, and all his house.
Therfor the fadir knewe, that thilke our it was, in which Jhesus seide to hym, Thi sone lyueth; and he bileuede, and al his hous.
54 Now, this again, as, a second sign, Jesus did, after coming out of Judaea into Galilee.
Jhesus dide eft this secounde tokene, whanne he cam fro Judee in to Galilee.
