John 4
1 When therefore knew (Jesus *N+KO) that heard the Pharisees that Jesus more disciples makes and baptizes than John
When Jesus realized that the Pharisees were aware He was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John
2 and certainly indeed and certainly indeed and certainly indeed Jesus Himself not was baptizing but the disciples of Him
(although it was not Jesus who baptized, but His disciples),
3 He left Judea and went away again into Galilee.
He left Judea and returned to Galilee.
4 It was necessary for now Him to pass through Samaria.
Now He had to pass through Samaria.
5 He comes therefore to a city of Samaria being named Sychar, nearby the plot of ground that gave Jacob to Joseph the son of him;
So He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
6 Was now there [the] well of Jacob. Therefore Jesus already wearying from the journey was sitting thus at the well; [The] hour was (about *N+kO) [the] sixth.
Since Jacob’s well was there, Jesus, weary from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 Comes a woman out of Samaria to draw water. Says to her Jesus; do give Me to drink.
When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”
8 For the disciples of Him had gone away into the city that food they may buy.
(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
9 Says therefore to Him the woman Samaritan; How You yourself a Jew being from me to drink you do ask a woman Samaritan being? Not for have association Jews with Samaritans.
“You are a Jew,” said the woman. “How can You ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)
10 Answered Jesus and said to her; If you had known the gift of God and who it is who is saying to you; do give Me to drink, you yourself then would you have asked Him and He gave maybe to you water living.
Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God and who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”
11 Says to Him the woman: Sir, nothing to draw with You have, and the well is deep; from where then have You the water which is living?
“Sir,” the woman replied, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water?
12 Not You yourself greater are [than] the father of us Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself of it drank and the sons of him and the livestock of him?
Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock?”
13 Answered Jesus and said to her; Everyone who is drinking of water this will thirst again.
Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.
15 Says to Him the woman; Sir, do give me this water that not I may thirst nor (I may come *N+k+o) here to draw.
The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water so that I will not get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”
16 He says to her (Jesus: *KO) do go do call the husband of you and do come here.
Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”
17 Answered the woman and said (to Him: *no) Not I have a husband. Says to her Jesus; Correctly you have spoken that A husband not I have;
“I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband.
18 Five for husbands you have had, and now he whom you have not is your husband; this truly you have spoken.
In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.”
19 Says to Him the woman; Sir, I understand that a prophet are You yourself.
“Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet.
20 The fathers of us on mountain this worshiped, and you yourselves say that in Jerusalem is the place where to worship it is necessary.
Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.”
21 Says to her Jesus; (do believe *N+kO) Me, woman, that is coming an hour when neither [you will worship] on mountain this nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
“Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 You yourselves worship what not you know, we ourselves worship what we know, for salvation of the Jews is.
You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.
23 But is coming an hour and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; also for the Father such seeks who worship Him.
But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him.
24 Spirit God [is], and those worshiping Him in spirit and truth it behooves to worship.
God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”
25 Says to Him the woman; I know that Messiah is coming, who is called Christ, when may come He, He will tell us (all things. *N+kO)
The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”
26 Says to her Jesus; I myself am [He], who is speaking to you.
Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”
27 And upon this came the disciples of Him and (were amazed *N+kO) that with a woman He was speaking; no [one] however said; What seek You? Or Why speak You with her?
Just then His disciples returned and were surprised that He was speaking with a woman. But no one asked Him, “What do You want from her?” or “Why are You talking with her?”
28 Left then the water pot of her the woman and went away into the city and says to the men;
Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people,
29 Come, do see a man who told me all things (as much as *NK+o) I did; surely not ever this is the Christ?
“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”
30 They went forth (therefore *K) out of the city and were coming unto Him.
So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.
31 But in (now *k) the meantime were asking Him the disciples saying; Rabbi, do eat.
Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”
32 But He said to them; I myself food have to eat that you yourselves not know.
But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
33 Were saying therefore the disciples to one another; Surely not one did bring to Him [something] to eat?
So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?”
34 Says to them Jesus; My own food is that (I may do *N+kO) the will of the [One who] having sent Me and may finish of Him the work.
Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.
35 Surely you yourselves say that yet (four months *N+kO) it is and the harvest comes? Behold I say to you; do lift up the eyes of you and do see the fields because white they are toward harvest already!
Do you not say, ‘There are still four months until the harvest’? I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are ripe for harvest.
36 (and *k) the [one] reaping a reward receives and he gathers fruit unto life eternal, so that (both *k) who is sowing together may rejoice and who is reaping. (aiōnios g166)
Already the reaper draws his wages and gathers a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 In for this the saying is true that One is who is sowing and another [is] the [one] who is reaping.
For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true.
38 I myself sent you to reap what not you yourselves have toiled for; others have toiled, and you yourselves into the labor of them have entered.
I sent you to reap what you have not worked for; others have done the hard work, and now you have taken up their labor.”
39 Out of now the city that many believed in Him of the Samaritans because of the word of the woman testifying that He told me all things (whatever *N+kO) I did.
Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”
40 When therefore came to Him the Samaritans, they were asking Him to abide with them. and He stayed there two days.
So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days.
41 And many more believed because of the word of Him,
And many more believed because of His message.
42 and to the woman they were saying that no longer no longer because of your speech we believe; we ourselves for have heard and we know that this is truly the Savior of the world (the Christ. *K)
They said to the woman, “We now believe not only because of your words; we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man truly is the Savior of the world.”
43 After then the two days He went forth from there (and went away *K) into Galilee.
After two days, Jesus left for Galilee.
44 Himself for Jesus testified that a prophet in the own hometown honor not has.
Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.
45 When therefore He came into Galilee, received Him the Galileans all things having seen (how much *N+kO) He had done in Jerusalem during the feast; also themselves for they had gone to the feast.
Yet when He arrived, the Galileans welcomed Him. They had seen all the great things He had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they had gone there as well.
46 He came therefore (Jesus *k) again to Cana of Galilee, where He had made the water wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son was sick in Capernaum.
So once again He came to Cana in Galilee, where He had turned the water into wine. And there was a royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum.
47 He having heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, went to Him and was asking (him *k) that He may come down and He may heal his son; he was about for to die.
When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged Him to come down and heal his son, who was about to die.
48 Said therefore Jesus to him; only unless signs and wonders you [people] may see, certainly not shall you believe.
Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”
49 Says to Him the royal official; Sir, do come down before to die the child of mine.
“Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.”
50 Says to him Jesus; do go, the son of you lives. (and *k) Believed the man in the word (that *N+kO) said to him Jesus, and he was going.
“Go,” said Jesus. “Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at His word and departed.
51 Already then when he is going down the servants of him (met *N+kO) with him (and reported *ko) saying that the boy (of him *N+KO) lives.
And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.
52 He inquired therefore the hour from them in which better he got. (and *k) They said (therefore *NO) to him that Yesterday at hour seventh left him the fever.
So he inquired as to the hour when his son had recovered, and they told him, “The fever left him yesterday at the seventh hour.”
53 Knew therefore the father that [it was] in that [very] hour at which said to him Jesus (that: *k) The son of You lives. And he believed himself and the household of him all.
Then the father realized that this was the very hour in which Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” And he and all his household believed.
54 This [is] (now *no) again [the] second sign did Jesus having come out of Judea into Galilee.
This was now the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea into Galilee.
