John
Chapter 4
1 When therefore knew the
Lord that heard the Pharisees, that Jesus more disciples made and dipped, than
John;
2 (though indeed Jesus
himself not dipped, but the disciples of him;)
3 he left the Judea, and
went again into the Galilee.
4 It behooved and him to
pass through the Samaria.
5 He comes therefore into
a city of the Samaritans, being called Sychar, near by the field, of which gave
Jacob Joseph to the son of himself.
6 Was and there a spring
of the Jacob. The then Jesus having become weary from the journey, sat down
thus over the spring; hour was about six.
7 Comes a woman of the
Samaria, to draw water. Say to her the Jesus: Give to me a drink.
8 (The for disciples of
him had gone into the city, that provisions they might buy.)
9 Says then to him the
woman that Samaritan: How thou, a Jew being, from me to drink askest, being a
woman a Samaritan? (Not for associate with Jews Samaritans.)
10 Answered Jesus and
said to her: If thou hast known the gift of the God, and who is be saying to
thee: Give to me to drink; thou wouldst ask him, and he would give thee water
living.
11 Says to him the woman:
O lord, nothing to draw with thou hast, and the well is deep; whence then hast
thou the water the living?
12 Not thou greater art
the father of us, Jacob? who gave to us the well, and he of it drank, and the
sons of him, and the cattle of him.
13 Answered Jesus and
said to her: All the drinking of the water this, will thirst again;
14 who but ever may drink
of the water, of which I shall give to him, not not may thirst to the age; but
the water, which I shall give him, shall be in him a well of water springing
into life age-lasting.
15 Says to him the woman:
O lord, give to me this the water, that not I may thirst, nor may come in this
place to draw.
16 Says to her the Jesus:
Go, call the husband of thee, and come here.
17 Answered the woman and
said: Not I have a husband. Says to her the Jesus: Rightly thou didst say: That
a husband not I have.
18 Five for husbands thou
hast had; and now whom thou hast not is of thee a husband; this truly thou hast
said.
19 Says to him the woman:
O lord, I see, that a prophet art thou.
20 The fathers of us in
the mountain this worshipped; and you say, that in Jerusalem is the place,
where it is necessary to worship.
21 Says to her the Jesus:
O woman, believe thou me, that comes an hour, when neither in the mountain
this, nor in Jerusalem you shall worship the Father.
22 You worship what not
you know; we worship what we know; because the salvation from the Jews is.
23 But comes an hour, and
now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth;
and for the Father such like seeks those worshipping him.
24 A spirit the God; and
those worshipping him, in spirit and truth it behooves to worship.
25 Says to him the woman:
I know, that Messiah comes; (the being called Anointed;) when may come he, he
will relate to us all.
26 Says to her the Jesus:
I am, he talking to thee.
27 And on this came the
disciples of him, and wondered, that with a woman he talked. No one
nevertheless said: What seekest thou? or, why talkest thou with her?
28 Left therefore the
bucket of herself the woman, and went into the city, and says to the men:
29 Come you, see a man,
who told me all what I did; not this is the Anointed?
30 They went out of the
city, and were coming to him.
31 In and the meantime
were asking him the disciples saying: Rabbi, eat.
32 He but said to them: I
food have to eat, which you not know.
33 Said then the
disciples to each other: Not any one brought to him food?
34 Says to them the
Jesus: My food is, that I may do the will of the sending me, and may finish of
him the work.
35 Not you say, that yet
four months it is, and the harvest comes? Lo, I say to you, lift up the eyes of
you, and see you the fields, that white they are to harvest already.
36 He reaping a reward
receives, and gathers fruit for life age-lasting; so that both he sowing
together may rejoice, and he reaping.
37 In for this the word
is the true, that one is the sowing, and another the reaping.
38 I sent you to reap
what you have labored; others labored, and you into the labor of them are
entered.
39 Out of and the city
that many believed into him of the Samaritans, through the word of the woman,
testifying: That he told me all what I did.
40 When therefore came to
him the Samaritans, asking him to abide with them; and he abode there two days.
41 And many more believed
through the word of him.
42 To the and woman they
said: That no longer through the they saying we believe; ourselves for we have
heard, and we know, that this is truly the savior of the world the Anointed.
43 After and the two days
he went out thence, and went out into the Galilee.
44 Himself for Jesus
testified, that a prophet in the own country honor not has.
45 When therefore he came
into the Galilee, received him the Galileans, all having seen what he did in
Jerusalem at the feast; also themselves for came to the feast.
46 He came then again
into the Cana of the Galilee, where he made the water wine. And was certain courtier,
of whom the son was sick, in Capernaum.
47 This hearing that
Jesus was come out of the Judea into the Galilee, went to him, and was asking
him, that he would come down, and heal of him the son; he was about for to die.
48 Said therefore the
Jesus to him: If not signs and prodigies you may see, not not you may believe.
49 Says to him the
courtier: O sir, come down, before to die the child of me.
50 Says to him the Jesus:
Go; the son of thee lives. And believed the man the word which said to him
Jesus, and went.
51 Already and of him was
going down, the slaves of him met him, and reported, saying: That the child of
thee lives.
52 He inquired then of
them the hour, in which better he was. And they said to him: That yesterday
hour seventh left the fever.
53 Knew then the father,
that in that the hour, in which said to him the Jesus: That the son of thee
lives. And he believed himself, and the house of him all.
54 This again a second sign did the Jesus, having come out of the Judea into the Galilee.
