John 4
4:1When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus made and immersed more disciples than John,
4:2(though indeed Jesus himself did not immerse, but his disciples),
4:3he left Judea, and went forth into Galilee.
4:4But it was necessary for him to go through Samaria.
4:5He comes then into a city of Samaria being called Sychar, neighboring the place which Jacob gave to Joseph his son.
4:6And the spring of Jacob was there. Then Jesus being tired from the journey, sat thus at the spring; it was about the sixth hour.
4:7There comes a woman from out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus says to her, Give to me to drink!
4:8For his disciples went forth into the city, that they should buy provisions.
4:9Then the Samaritan woman says to him, How do you, being a Jew, ask from me to drink, being a Samaritan woman? For Jews do not have dealings with Samaritans.
4:10Jesus 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 living water.
4:11The woman says to him, O master, neither a bucket do you have, and the well is deep; from what place then have you the living water?
4:12Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave to us the well, and himself drank from it, and his sons, and his livestock?
4:13Jesus answered and said to her, Every one drinking of this water thirsts again;
4:14but 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 eternal life.
4:15Says to him the woman, O master, give to me this water! that I should not thirst, nor should come here to draw.
4:16Jesus says to her, Go, call your husband, and come here!
4:17The woman answered and said, I do not have a husband. Jesus says to her, Well you said that, I do not have a husband;
4:18for five husbands you had, and now the one whom you have is not your husband; this truly you have said.
4:19The woman says to him, O master, I view that you are a prophet.
4:20Our fathers in this mountain did obeisance, and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary to do obeisance.
4:21Jesus says to her, O woman, trust me, that there comes an hour, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall you do obeisance to the father.
4:22You do obeisance to whom you know not; we do obeisance to whom we know; for the deliverance is of the Jews.
4:23But 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 seeks such to do obeisance to him.
4:24God is spirit, and the ones doing obeisance to him must do obeisance in spirit and truth.
4:25The woman says to him, I know that Messiah comes, the one being called Christ; whenever he should come, that one will announce to us all things.
4:26Jesus says to her, I am he, the one speaking to you.
4:27And upon this came his disciples, and they marvelled that he spoke with a woman; no one however said, What do you seek? or, Why do you speak with her?
4:28The woman then left her water-pitcher, and she went forth into the city, and says to the men,
4:29Come, see a man who told to me all things as much as I did! Maybe this is the Christ?
4:30They came forth then from out of the city, and came to him.
4:31But in between the disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, eat!
4:32And he said to them, I have food to eat which you know not.
4:33Then the disciples said to one another, Did anyone bring anything to him to eat?
4:34Jesus says to them, My food is that I do the will of the one having sent me, and I should perfect his work.
4:35Do you not say that, It is still four months and the harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and see the places! for they are white for harvest already.
4:36And the one harvesting receives a wage, and gathers fruit unto life eternal; that also the one sowing should rejoice together also with the one harvesting.
4:37For in this the word is true that, Another is the one sowing, and another is the one harvesting.
4:38I sent you to harvest what you have not tired in; others have tired, and you have entered into their toil.
4:39And 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.
4:40Then as they came to him, the Samaritans asked him to stay with them; and he stayed there two days.
4:41And many more believed because of his word;
4:42also 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.
4:43And after the two days he came forth from there, and he went forth into Galilee.
4:44For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no value in his own fatherland.
4:45When then he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things which he did in Jerusalem during the holiday feast; for they also went to the holiday feast.
4:46Then came Jesus again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain royal official in Capernaum whose son was weak.
4:47He 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.
4:48Then Jesus said to him, If you should not behold signs and miracles, in no way should you trust.
4:49The royal official says to him, O Lord, come down before my child dies!
4:50Jesus says to him, Go! your son lives. And the man trusted in the word which Jesus said to him, and he went.
4:51And already as he was going down, his servants met him, and reported, saying that, Your child lives.
4:52He inquired then of them the hour in which he sufficed much better. And they said to him that, Yesterday the seventh hour the fever left him.
4:53Then the father knew that it was in that hour in which Jesus said to him that, Your son lives. And he trusted him, and his entire family.
4:54This again was a second sign Jesus did, coming from out of Judea into Galilee.
