John Chapter 4

4^:1 When then [the] Jesus knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus was-making and baptizing more disciples than-John—² although Jesus himself was┘not└doing-the-baptizing, but the disciples of-him (were doing the baptizing)— ³ he-left [the] Judaea and went-away back into [the] Galilee. ⁴ And it-was-necessary-for him to-go through [the] Samaria. ⁵ Then he-comes into (a) village of-the Samaritans called Sychar near the parcel that Jacob gave Joseph, the son of-him. ⁶ And (the) well of-[the] Jacob was there. Then [the] Jesus, having-become-weary from the journey was-sitting thus on the well. It-was about (the) sixth hour.

⁷ (A) woman from [the] Samaria comes to-draw water. (The) Jesus says to-her, “Give me to-drink.” ⁸ For the disciples of-him had-gone into the village in-order-that they-might-buy food.

⁹ Then the Samaritan [the] woman says to-him, “How do┘you, being (a) Jew,└ask to-drink from me, being (a) Samaritan woman?” (For Jews do┘not└associate-with Samaritans.)

¹⁰ Jesus answered and said to-her, “If you knew the gift of-[the] God and who the-One is that-is-saying to-you, ‘Give me to-drink,’ you would have-asked him, and he┘would└have-given you living water.”

¹¹ The woman says to-him, “Sir, you-do┘not-even└have (a) bucket and the well is deep. Whence then do-you-have [the] living [the] water? ¹² You are not┘greater than-the father of-us, Jacob,└are-you, who gave us the well and himself drank from it and the sons of-him and the domesticated-animals of-him?”

¹³ Jesus answered and said to-her, “Everybody who drinks from this [the] water will-get-thirsty again. ¹⁴ But whoever² drinks of the water that I-will-give him, will┘certainly not└thirst forever³. But, the water that I-will-give to-him will-become in him (as) spring of water springing-up into eternal life.”

¹⁵ The woman says to him, “Sir, give me this [the] water in-order-that I-will┘not└get-thirsty or come here to-draw (it).”

¹⁶ He-says to-her, “Go call the husband of-you and come here.”

¹⁷ The woman answered and said to-him, “I-do┘not└have (a) husband.”

[The] Jesus says to-her, “You-said well [that], ‘I-do┘not└have (a) husband.’ ¹⁸ For you-had five husbands and now whom you-have is not your husband. You-have-said this truly.”

¹⁹ The woman says to-him, “Sir, I-see that you are (a) prophet. ²⁰ The fathers of-us worshiped on this [the] mountain, and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where it-is-necessary to-worship.”

²¹ [The] Jesus says to-her,

“Believe me, woman, [that] (the) time/hour is-coming when neither on this [the] mountain nor in Jerusalem will-you^pl-worship the Father. ²² You^pl worship what you-do┘not└know; we worship what we-know, because [the] salvation is of the Jews. ²³ But (the) time is-coming—and now is—when the true worshipers will-worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeks such the-ones worshiping him. ²⁴ [The] God (is a) spirit, and it-is-necessary-for the-ones worshiping him to-worship in spirit and truth.”

²⁵ The woman says to-him, “I-know that Messiah is-coming, the-One called Christ. When that-one comes he-will-announce all-things to-us.”

²⁶ Jesus says to-her, “I, the-One speaking to-you, am (he).”

²⁷ And upon this (situation) the disciples of-him came, and they-were-amazed that/because he-was-speaking with (a) woman. However, nobody said, “What are-you-looking-for?” or “Why are-you-talking with her?”

²⁸ Then the woman left the water-pot of-her and went-away into the village, and says to-the men, ²⁹ “Come, see (a) fellow who told me all-things as-many-as I-did. This is not┘ the Messiah, └is it?” ³⁰ They-went-out of the village and were-coming to him.

³¹ In-the-meantime the disciples kept-asking him, saying, “Eat (something).”

³² But the/he said to-them, “I have food to-eat that you do┘not└know.”

³³ The disciples started-saying to-one-another, “Somebody has┘not^┘┘└brought him (something) to-eat, ^└└have-they?”

³⁴ (The) Jesus says to-them,

“My food is in-order-that I-might-do the will of-the-One having-sent me and in-order-that I-might-finish the work of-him. ³⁵ Do-you┘not└say [that] yet three-months are and [the] harvest is-coming? Behold, I-tell you, lift-up the eyes of-you and look-at the fields that they-are already white for harvest. ³⁶ The reaper receives pay and gathers fruit unto eternal life, in-order-that the sower and the reaper may-rejoice together. ³⁷ For this [the] saying is true [that],’One is the sower and another (is) the reaper.’ ³⁸ I sent you to-reap what you have┘not└labored-on. Others have-labored, and you have-entered into the work of-them.”

³⁹ And from that [the] village many of-the Samaritans came-to-believe on-account-of the word of-the woman testifying [that], “He-told me everything [that] that I-did.” ⁴⁰ So when the Samaritans came to him, they-asked him to-stay with them, and he-stayed there two days. ⁴¹ And more by-much they-came-to-belief on-account-of the word of-him. ⁴² And to-the woman they-were-saying [that], “No-longer do-we-believe on-account-of [the] your saying, for we┘ourselves└have-heard and know that this is truly the Savior of the world.”

⁴³ And after the two days he-went-out from-there into [the] Galilee. ⁴⁴ For Jesus himself testified that (a) prophet in [the] his-own country does┘not└have honor. ⁴⁵ Therefore when he-came into [the] Galilee, the Galileans received him, having-seen all-things as-many-as he-did in Jerusalem at the feast for they also went to the feast.

⁴⁶ So they came again into [the] Cana of-[the] Galilee, where he-made the water wine. And (a) certain ruler was whose [the] son was-sick in Capernaum. ⁴⁷ This-one, having heard that Jesus came from Judaea into [the] Galilee, went-away to him and began-to-ask in-order-that he-come-down and heal the son of-him, for he-was-about to-die.

⁴⁸ So [the] Jesus said to him, “Unless² you^pl-see signs and wonders, you-will┘not└believe at-all!^”

⁴⁹The ruler says to-him, “Sir, go-down before the son of-me dies.”

⁵⁰ [The] Jesus says to-him, “Go, the son of-you lives.”

The man believed the word that [the] Jesus said to-him and went. ⁵¹ And already, he going-down, the slaves of-him met him, saying that the son of-him was-living. ⁵² So he-asked from them the hour in which he-had recovery.

So they said to-him [that], “Yesterday the fever left him at-(the)-seventh hour.”

⁵³ Then the father knew that (it was) at that [the] hour in which [the] Jesus said to-him, “The son of-you lives,” and he believed, and the whole household of-him believed. ⁵⁴ And again this (was a/the) second sign Jesus did, having-come out-of [the] Judaea into [the] Galilee.
