‏ John 4

CHAPTER 4

The Woman of Samaria

1When therefore [³knew ¹the ²Lord] that [³heard ¹the ²Pharisees] that Jesus [⁴more ⁵disciples ¹made ²and ³immersed] than John, 2(though indeed Jesus himself did not immerse, but   his disciples), 3he left   Judea, and went forth into   Galilee. 4But it was necessary for him to go through   Samaria. 5He comes then into a city   of Samaria being called Sychar, neighboring the place which Jacob gave to Joseph   his son. 6[⁴was ¹And ⁵there ²the spring   ³of Jacob].   Then Jesus being tired from the journey, sat thus at the spring; [⁴hour ¹it was ²about ³the sixth]. 7There comes a woman from out of   Samaria to draw water. [²says ³to her   ¹Jesus], Give to me to drink! 8For his disciples went forth into the city, that [²provisions ¹they should buy]. 9[⁵says ¹Then ⁶to him   ⁴woman ²the ³Samaritan], How do you, being a Jew, [²from ³me ⁴to drink ¹ask], being a Samaritan woman? [³do not ¹For ⁴have dealings with ²Jews] Samaritans. 10Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the gift   of God, and who is the one saying to you, Give to me to drink! you would have asked him, and he would have given to you [²water ¹living]. 11[³says ⁴to him ¹The ²woman], O master, neither a bucket do you have, and the well is deep; from what place then have you the [²water   ¹living]? 12  [²you ³greater than ¹Are]   our father Jacob, who gave to us the well, and himself [²from ³it ¹drank], and   his sons, and   his livestock? 13Jesus answered and said to her, Every one    drinking of   this water thirsts again; 14but whoever should drink of the water which I give to him, in no way should he thirst into the eon; but the water which I shall give to him shall become in him a spring of water leaping up into [²life ¹eternal]. 15Says to him the woman, O master, give to me this   water! that I should not thirst, nor should come here to draw. 16[²says ³to her   ¹Jesus], Go, call   your husband, and come here! 17[³answered ¹The ²woman] and said, I do not have a husband. [²says ³to her   ¹Jesus], Well you said that, [³a husband ¹I do not ²have]; 18for five husbands you had, and now the one whom you have is not your husband; this truly you have said. 19[³says ⁴to him ¹The ²woman], O master, I view that [²a prophet ¹you are]. 20  Our fathers in   this mountain did obeisance, and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary to do obeisance. 21[²says ³to her   ¹Jesus], O woman, trust me, that there comes an hour, when neither in   this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall you do obeisance to the father. 22You do obeisance to whom you know not; we do obeisance to whom we know; for the deliverance [²of ³the ⁴Jews ¹is]. 23But comes the hour, and now is, when the true ones  doing obeisance shall do obeisance to the father in spirit and truth; for also the father [²such ¹seeks]   to do obeisance to him.

God is Spirit

24God is spirit, and the ones doing obeisance to him [³in ⁴spirit ⁵and ⁶truth ¹must ²do obeisance]. 25[³says ⁴to him ¹The ²woman], I know that Messiah comes, the one being called Christ; whenever he should come, that one will announce to us all things. 26[²says ³to her   ¹Jesus], I am he, the one speaking to you. 27And upon this came   his disciples, and they marvelled that [²with ³a woman ¹he spoke]; no one however said, What do you seek? or, Why do you speak with her? 28[³then left   ⁴her water-pitcher ¹The ²woman], and she went forth into the city, and says to the men, 29Come, see a man who told to me all things  as much as I did! Maybe this is the Christ? 30They came forth then from out of the city, and came to him. 31But in   between [³asked ⁴him ¹the ²disciples], saying, Rabbi, eat! 32And he said to them, I [²food ¹have] to eat which you know not. 33[⁴said ¹Then ²the ³disciples] to one another, Did anyone bring anything  to him to eat? 34[²says ³to them   ¹Jesus], My food is that I do the will of the one having sent me, and I should perfect his   work. 35Do you not say that, [²still ³four months ¹It is] and the harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, Lift up   your eyes, and see the places! for they are white for harvest already. 36And the one harvesting [²a wage ¹receives], and gathers fruit unto life eternal; that also the one sowing [²together ¹should rejoice] also with the one harvesting. 37For in this the word is   true that, Another is the one sowing, and another is the one harvesting. 38I sent you to harvest what you have not tired in; others have tired, and you [²into   ³their toil ¹have entered]. 39And from   that city many believed in him of the Samaritans, because of the word of the woman witnessing that, He told to me all things  as much as I did. 40Then as they came to him, the Samaritans asked him to stay with them; and he stayed there two days.

The Deliverer of the World

41And many more believed because of   his word; 42also to the woman they said that, No longer because of   your speech do we believe; for ourselves we have heard, and we know that this is truly the deliverer of the world, the Christ. 43And after the two days he came forth from there, and he went forth into   Galilee. 44[³himself ¹For   ²Jesus] testified that a prophet [³in   ⁴his own ⁵fatherland ²value ¹has no]. 45When then he came into   Galilee, [³received ⁴him ¹the ²Galileans], having seen all the things  which he did in Jerusalem during the holiday feast; [³also ²they ¹for] went to the holiday feast.

The Royal Official's Son is Healed

46Then came   Jesus again into   Cana   of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain royal official  [³whose   ⁴son ⁵was weak ¹in ²Capernaum]. 47He having heard that Jesus is come from out of   Judea into   Galilee, went forth to him, and asked him that he should come down and heal his   son; for he was about to die. 48[³said ¹Then   ²Jesus] to him, If [²not ⁴signs ⁵and ⁶miracles ¹you should ³behold], in no way should you trust. 49[³says ⁴to ⁵him ¹The ²royal official], O Lord, come down before [²dies   ¹my child]! 50[²says ³to him   ¹Jesus], Go!   your son lives. And [³trusted ¹the ²man] in the word which [²said ³to him   ¹Jesus], and he went. 51And already as he was going down,   his servants met him, and reported, saying that,   Your child lives. 52He inquired then of them the hour in which [²much better ¹he sufficed]. And they said to him that, Yesterday [²hour ¹the seventh ⁵left ⁶him ³the ⁴fever]. 53[⁴knew ¹Then ²the ³father] that it was in that   hour in which [²said ³to him   ¹Jesus] that,   Your son lives. And he trusted him, and   [³family ¹his ²entire]. 54This again was a second sign Jesus did, coming from out of   Judea into   Galilee.
