Исус и Самарјанка

Међутим, Исус је сазнао да су фарисеји чули да он задобија и крштава више ученика него Јован. (Уствари, са̂м Исус није крштавао, него његови ученици.) Тада је напустио Јудеју и отишао у Галилеју.

Успут је морао да прође кроз Самарију. Тако је дошао у самаријски град по имену Сихар, недалеко од земљишта које је Јаков дао своме сину Јосифу. Тамо се налазио Јаковљев бунар. Исус, уморан од пута, седе на бунар. Било је око подне[a].

Нека жена Самарјанка дође да захвати воде. Исус јој рече: „Дај ми, молим те, да пијем.“ (Његови ученици су, у међувремену, отишли до града да купе нешто хране.)

Тада му Самарјанка рече: „Како можеш ти, као Јеврејин, да тражиш од мене, Самарјанке, да пијеш?“ (Јевреји се, иначе, не мешају[b] са Самарјанцима.)

10 Исус јој одговори: „Кад би ти знала какав дар Бог има за тебе, и ко је тај што од тебе тражи да му даш да пије, ти би од њега тражила и он би ти дао живу воду.“

11 Жена му рече: „Господине, бунар је дубок, а ти немаш чиме да захватиш. Одакле ћеш извући живу воду? 12 Зар си ти већи од нашег оца Јакова који нам је дао овај бунар? Он са̂м је пио са њега, његови синови и његова стока.“

13 Исус јој одговори: „Свако ко пије од ове воде, поново ће ожеднети. 14 А ко пије од воде коју ћу му ја дати, тај никада неће ожеднети, него ће вода коју ћу му ја дати постати у њему извор воде живота и донети му вечни живот.“

15 Жена му рече. „Господине, дај ми ту воду да не жедним више и да не долазим више овамо да захватам.“

16 Исус јој рече: „Иди и позови свога мужа, па се врати.“

17 Жена му рече: „Немам мужа.“

Исус рече: „У праву си кад кажеш да немаш мужа. 18 Имала си, наиме, пет мужева, а онај са којим сада живиш није ти муж. Добро си рекла.“

19 Жена му рече: „Господине, видим да си пророк. 20 Наши преци су се клањали на овој гори, а ви кажете да је Јерусалим место где се треба клањати.“

21 Исус јој рече: „Веруј ми, жено, да ће доћи час кад се нећете клањати Оцу ни на овој гори ни у Јерусалиму. 22 Ви, Самарјани, не знате коме се клањате. Ми, Јевреји, знамо коме се клањамо, јер од Јевреја долази спасење. 23 Али долази час, и већ је дошао, када ће се прави клањаоци клањати Оцу у Духу и истини. Отац, наиме, хоће овакве молиоце. 24 Бог је Дух, те они који му се клањају треба да се клањају у Духу и истини.“

25 Жена му рече: „Знам да ће доћи Месија, кога зову Христос. Кад он дође, све ће нам објавити.“

26 Исус јој рече: „То сам ја, који говорим с тобом.“

27 Кад су се његови ученици вратили, зачудили су се да Исус разговара са женом. Ипак, нико није рекао: „Шта ти треба?“ или: „Зашто разговараш са њом?“

28 Жена тада остави свој крчаг, па оде у град и рече људима: 29 „Дођите да видите човека који ми је рекао све што сам учинила. Да није он Христос?“ 30 Људи изађу из града и дођу к Исусу.

31 У међувремену, његови ученици му рекоше: „Учитељу, поједи нешто!“

32 Исус им рече: „Ја имам једно јело да једем, које ви не познајете.“

33 Његови ученици почеше да се питају међу собом: „Да му неко није донео да једе?“ 34 Исус им рече. „Моје јело је да вршим вољу онога који ме је послао и да довршим његово дело. 35 Зар не кажете: ’Још четири месеца, па долази жетва?’ А ја вам, ево, кажем: осмотрите поља – жито је већ дозрело за жетву! 36 Жетелац већ прима плату и жање урод за вечни живот. Тако се и сејач и жетелац радују заједно. 37 Овако се обистињује изрека: ’један сеје, други жање.’ 38 Ја сам вас послао да жањете оно око чега се нисте трудили; други су се трудили, а ви убирете плод њиховог труда.“

39 Многи Самарјани из тог града су поверовали у Исуса због речи које је она жена рекла: „Он ми је рекао све што сам учинила.“ 40 Самарјани су онда дошли к њему и молили га да остане са њима. Тако је остао тамо два дана, 41 па је још више Самарјана поверовало у њега због његове речи.

42 Онда су рекли жени: „Сада више не верујемо због оног што си ти говорила, него зато што смо сами чули, па знамо да је он истински Спаситељ света.“

Исус лечи сина царског чиновника

43 Два дана касније, Исус оде оданде у Галилеју. 44 Сам Исус је, наиме, говорио да је пророк без части у свом завичају. 45 Када је, дакле, дошао у Галилеју, Галилејци су га лепо дочекали, јер су били у Јерусалиму током празника Пасхе и видели све што је Исус тамо учинио.

46 Исус је поново дошао у Кану у Галилеји, где је претворио воду у вино. Тамо је био неки царски чиновник који је имао болесног сина у Кафарнауму. 47 Када је чуо да је Исус дошао из Јудеје у Галилеју, оде к њему и замоли га да дође и исцели његовог сина, јер је био на умору.

48 Исус му рече: „Ако не видите знаке и чуда, ви нећете да верујете!“

49 Чиновник му рече: „Господе, сиђи, док није умрло моје дете!“

50 Исус му рече. „Врати се, твој син живи.“

Човек поверује речи коју му је Исус рекао и оде. 51 Док се враћао, похрле му у сусрет његове слуге и јаве му да му је дете живо. 52 Чиновник се онда распитивао за час када је детету кренуло на боље. Рекли су му да је грозница престала јуче око један сат поподне.[c]

53 Отац је тада схватио да се то догодило оног часа када је Исус рекао: „Твој син живи.“ Тада је поверовао он и сви његови укућани.

54 Ово је био други знак који је Исус учинио, након што је из Јудеје дошао у Галилеју.

Jesus Talks With a Samaritan Woman

Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John(A) although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. So he left Judea(B) and went back once more to Galilee.

Now he had to go through Samaria.(C) So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.(D) Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.

When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?”(E) (His disciples had gone into the town(F) to buy food.)

The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan(G) woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.[a])

10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”(H)

11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well(I) and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”

13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst.(J) Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water(K) welling up to eternal life.”(L)

15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty(M) and have to keep coming here to draw water.”

16 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”

17 “I have no husband,” she replied.

Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”

19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet.(N) 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain,(O) but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”(P)

21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming(Q) when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.(R) 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know;(S) we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.(T) 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come(U) when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit(V) and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit,(W) and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”

25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ)(X) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”

26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”(Y)

The Disciples Rejoin Jesus

27 Just then his disciples returned(Z) and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?”

28 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did.(AA) Could this be the Messiah?”(AB) 30 They came out of the town and made their way toward him.

31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi,(AC) eat something.”

32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat(AD) that you know nothing about.”

33 Then his disciples said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?”

34 “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will(AE) of him who sent me and to finish his work.(AF) 35 Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.(AG) 36 Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests(AH) a crop for eternal life,(AI) so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. 37 Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’(AJ) is true. 38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”

Many Samaritans Believe

39 Many of the Samaritans from that town(AK) believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”(AL) 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. 41 And because of his words many more became believers.

42 They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”(AM)

Jesus Heals an Official’s Son

43 After the two days(AN) he left for Galilee. 44 (Now Jesus himself had pointed out that a prophet has no honor in his own country.)(AO) 45 When he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival,(AP) for they also had been there.

46 Once more he visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine.(AQ) And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum. 47 When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea,(AR) he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death.

48 “Unless you people see signs and wonders,”(AS) Jesus told him, “you will never believe.”

49 The royal official said, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”

50 “Go,” Jesus replied, “your son will live.”

The man took Jesus at his word and departed. 51 While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living. 52 When he inquired as to the time when his son got better, they said to him, “Yesterday, at one in the afternoon, the fever left him.”

53 Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” So he and his whole household(AT) believed.

54 This was the second sign(AU) Jesus performed after coming from Judea to Galilee.

  1. John 4:9 Or do not use dishes Samaritans have used

Jesus and the Woman of Samaria

Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and (A)baptizing more disciples than John (although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples), he left Judea and departed (B)again for Galilee. (C)And he had to pass through Samaria. So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the field (D)that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob's well was there; so Jesus, (E)wearied as he was from his journey, was sitting beside the well. It was about the sixth hour.[a]

A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, (F)“Give me a drink.” (For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.) The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?” ((G)For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) 10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you (H)living water.” 11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? 12 (I)Are you greater than our father Jacob? (J)He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.” 13 Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14 but (K)whoever drinks of the water that I will give him (L)will never be thirsty again.[b] The water that I will give him will become (M)in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” 15 The woman said to him, “Sir, (N)give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water.”

16 Jesus said to her, “Go, (O)call your husband, and come here.” 17 The woman answered him, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband’; 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.” 19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that (P)you are (Q)a prophet. 20 (R)Our fathers worshiped on (S)this mountain, but you say that (T)in Jerusalem is (U)the place where people ought to worship.” 21 Jesus said to her, (V)“Woman, believe me, (W)the hour is coming when (X)neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. 22 (Y)You worship what you do not know; (Z)we worship what we know, for (AA)salvation is (AB)from the Jews. 23 But (AC)the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father (AD)in spirit and (AE)truth, for the Father (AF)is seeking such people to worship him. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” 25 The woman said to him, “I know that (AG)Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, (AH)he will tell us all things.” 26 Jesus said to her, (AI)“I who speak to you am he.”

27 Just then (AJ)his disciples came back. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you seek?” or, “Why are you talking with her?” 28 So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man (AK)who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?” 30 They went out of the town and were coming to him.

31 Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, saying, (AL)“Rabbi, eat.” 32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.” 33 So the disciples said to one another, (AM)“Has anyone brought him something to eat?” 34 Jesus said to them, (AN)“My food is (AO)to do the will of him who sent me and (AP)to accomplish his work. 35 Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that (AQ)the fields are white for harvest. 36 Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that (AR)sower and (AS)reaper (AT)may rejoice together. 37 For here the saying holds true, (AU)‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap (AV)that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, (AW)and you have entered into their labor.”

39 Many Samaritans (AX)from that town believed in him (AY)because of (AZ)the woman's testimony, “He told me all that I ever did.” 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days. 41 And many more believed (BA)because of his word. 42 They said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, (BB)and we know that this is indeed (BC)the Savior (BD)of the world.”

43 After (BE)the two days he departed for Galilee. 44 (For Jesus himself had testified (BF)that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.) 45 So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, (BG)having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast. For (BH)they too had gone to the feast.

Jesus Heals an Official's Son

46 So he came again to (BI)Cana in Galilee, (BJ)where he had made the water wine. And at Capernaum there was an official whose son was ill. 47 When this man heard that Jesus (BK)had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. 48 So Jesus said to him, (BL)“Unless you[c] see signs and wonders you will not believe.” 49 The official said to him, “Sir, come down (BM)before my child dies.” 50 Jesus said to him, “Go; your son will live.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went on his way. 51 As he was going down, his servants[d] met him and told him that his son was recovering. 52 So he asked them the hour when he began to get better, and they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour[e] the fever left him.” 53 The father knew that was the hour when Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” And he himself believed, (BN)and all his household. 54 (BO)This was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea to Galilee.
