Јован 4
New Serbian Translation
Исус и Самарјанка
4 Међутим, Исус је сазнао да су фарисеји чули да он задобија и крштава више ученика него Јован. 2 (Уствари, са̂м Исус није крштавао, него његови ученици.) 3 Тада је напустио Јудеју и отишао у Галилеју.
4 Успут је морао да прође кроз Самарију. 5 Тако је дошао у самаријски град по имену Сихар, недалеко од земљишта које је Јаков дао своме сину Јосифу. 6 Тамо се налазио Јаковљев бунар. Исус, уморан од пута, седе на бунар. Било је око подне[a].
7 Нека жена Самарјанка дође да захвати воде. Исус јој рече: „Дај ми, молим те, да пијем.“ 8 (Његови ученици су, у међувремену, отишли до града да купе нешто хране.)
9 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.
John 4
New King James Version
A Samaritan Woman Meets Her Messiah
4 Therefore, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and (A)baptized more disciples than John 2 (though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples), 3 He left Judea and departed again to Galilee. 4 But He needed to go through Samaria.
5 So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that (B)Jacob (C)gave to his son Joseph. 6 Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.” 8 For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
9 Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For (D)Jews have no dealings with (E)Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the (F)gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you (G)living water.”
11 The woman said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? 12 Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?”
13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, 14 but (H)whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him (I)will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
15 (J)The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
17 The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.”
Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.”
19 The woman said to Him, “Sir, (K)I perceive that You are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped on (L)this mountain, and you Jews say that in (M)Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship.”
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming (N)when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 You worship (O)what you do not know; we know what we worship, for (P)salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will (Q)worship the Father in (R)spirit (S)and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 (T)God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
25 The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah (U)is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, (V)He will tell us all things.”
26 Jesus said to her, (W)“I who speak to you am He.”
The Whitened Harvest
27 And at this point His disciples came, and they marveled that He talked with a woman; yet no one said, “What do You seek?” or, “Why are You talking with her?”
28 The woman then left her waterpot, went her way into the city, and said to the men, 29 “Come, see a Man (X)who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” 30 Then they went out of the city and came to Him.
31 In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
32 But He said to them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.”
33 Therefore the disciples said to one another, “Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?”
34 Jesus said to them, (Y)“My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to (Z)finish His work. 35 Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes (AA)the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, (AB)for they are already white for harvest! 36 (AC)And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that (AD)both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37 For in this the saying is true: (AE)‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; (AF)others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”
The Savior of the World
39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him (AG)because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all that I ever did.” 40 So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they urged Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. 41 And many more believed because of His own (AH)word.
42 Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of what you said, for (AI)we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed [a]the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
Welcome at Galilee
43 Now after the two days He departed from there and went to Galilee. 44 For (AJ)Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country. 45 So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, (AK)having seen all the things He did in Jerusalem at the feast; (AL)for they also had gone to the feast.
A Nobleman’s Son Healed
46 So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee (AM)where He had made the water wine. And there was a certain [b]nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. 48 Then Jesus said to him, (AN)“Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe.”
49 The nobleman said to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies!”
50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your son lives.” So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way. 51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, “Your son lives!”
52 Then he inquired of them the hour when he got better. And they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.” 53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” And he himself believed, and his whole household.
54 This again is the second sign Jesus did when He had come out of Judea into Galilee.
John 4
Expanded Bible
Jesus and a Samaritan Woman
4 The Pharisees [C a religious party which strictly observed OT laws and later customs] heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more ·followers [disciples] than John, 2 although Jesus himself did not baptize people, but his ·followers [disciples] did. 3 Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard about him, so he left Judea [C the southern region of Israel] and went back to Galilee [C the northern region of Israel; Mark 1:14]. 4 But on the way he had to go through the country of Samaria [C the central region occupied by a people disliked because they were only partly Jewish].
5 In Samaria Jesus came to the town called Sychar [C perhaps Shechem or a village near it; compare Gen. 33:18–19; 48:22], which is near the ·field [plot of ground] Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus was tired from ·his long trip [L the journey], so he sat down beside the well. It was about ·twelve o’clock noon [L the sixth hour; C hours were counted from dawn, about 6 AM]. 7 When a Samaritan woman came to the well to ·get some [draw] water, Jesus said to her, “·Please give [L Give] me a drink.” 8 (This happened while Jesus’ ·followers [disciples] were in town buying some food.)
9 The Samaritan woman said, “·I am surprised [L How is it…?] that you ask me for a drink, since you are a ·Jewish man [L a Jew] and I am a Samaritan woman.” (Jewish people ·are not friends [do not share things; have no dealings] with Samaritans.)
10 Jesus ·said [answered; replied], “If you only knew the ·free gift [L gift] of God and who it is that is asking you ·for water [L “Give me a drink”], you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.” [C “Living water” in Greek can mean fresh running water, but Jesus means “water which gives eternal life”; the woman misunderstands this play on words.]
11 The woman said, “Sir, where will you get this living water? The well is very deep, and you have ·nothing to get water with [L no bucket]. 12 Are you greater than Jacob, our father [C a patriarch recognized by both Jews and Samaritans], who gave us this well and drank from it himself along with his sons and ·flocks [or livestock]?”
13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again [C because physical water only temporarily satisfies thirst], 14 but whoever drinks the water I give will never be thirsty [C because spiritual renewal/eternal life is forever]. [L But; Indeed] The water I give will become a spring of water gushing up inside that person, giving eternal life [Is. 12:3; 49:10; 55:1–3; Rev. 7:16].”
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so I will never be thirsty again and will not have to come back here to ·get [draw] more water.” [C Her response indicates she does not understand.]
16 Jesus told her, “Go ·get [call] your husband and come back here.”
17 The woman answered, “I have no husband.”
Jesus said to her, “You are right to say you have no husband. 18 ·Really [For] you have had five husbands, and the man you ·live with [L have] now is not your husband. You told the truth.”
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I can see that you are a prophet. 20 Our ·ancestors [forefathers; L fathers] worshiped on this mountain [C the Samaritans worshiped on Mount Gerizim near Shechem], but you [C plural, referring to the Jews] say that Jerusalem [C Mount Zion, the location of the temple] is the place where people must worship.”
21 Jesus said to her, “Believe me, woman [C a respectful form of address in that culture; 2:4]. The ·time [L hour; C the time of salvation established by the death and resurrection of Christ; see 2:4] is coming when neither in Jerusalem nor on this mountain will you ·actually worship [L worship] the Father. 22 You Samaritans worship something you don’t understand. We [C Jews] understand what we worship, because salvation comes from the Jews [C because the Messiah who brings salvation comes through the Jews]. 23 [L But] The ·time [L hour; see 4:21] is coming when the true worshipers will worship the Father in ·spirit [or the Spirit] and truth, and that time ·is here already [has now come; is now here]. You see, the Father too is actively seeking such people to worship him. 24 God is ·spirit [Spirit], and those who worship him must worship in ·spirit [Spirit] and truth.”
25 The woman said to him, “I know that the Messiah is coming.” (Messiah is the One called Christ [C both Hebrew Mashiach and Greek Christos mean “Anointed One”; see 1:41].) “When ·the Messiah [L that one] comes, he will ·explain [report; announce] everything to us.”
26 Then Jesus said to her, “I am he—I, the one talking to you.”
27 Just then his ·followers [disciples] came back from town and were surprised to see him talking with a woman [C some Jews thought it a waste of time for rabbis to teach women]. But none of them asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?”
28 Then the woman left her water jar and went back to town. She said to the people, 29 “Come and see a man who told me everything I ever did. Do you think he might be the ·Christ [Messiah]?” 30 So the people left the town and ·went to see Jesus [L were coming toward him].
31 Meanwhile, his ·followers [disciples] were ·begging [urging] him, “·Teacher [L Rabbi], eat something.”
32 But Jesus answered, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about [Deut. 8:3].”
33 So the ·followers [disciples] asked ·themselves [each other], “·Did somebody already bring him food [L No one brought him anything to eat, did they]?”
34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do ·what the One who sent me wants me to do [L the will of the One who sent me] and to ·finish [complete] his work. 35 ·You have a saying [L Do you not say…?], ‘Four more months till harvest.’ ·But [Look; T Behold] I tell you, ·open your eyes and look at [L lift up your eyes and see] the fields ·ready [ripe; L white] for harvest now. 36 Already, the one who ·harvests [reaps] is ·being paid [L receiving wages] and is gathering ·crops [fruit] for eternal life. So the one who ·plants [sows] and the one who ·harvests [reaps] ·celebrate [rejoice] ·at the same time [together]. 37 [L For] ·Here [in this case] the saying is true, ‘One person ·plants [sows], and another ·harvests [reaps].’ 38 I sent you to ·harvest a crop that [reap what] you did not ·work [labor; toil] on. Others did the ·work [labor; toil], and you ·get to finish up [reap the benefits of; L have entered into] their work.”
39 Many of the Samaritans in that town believed in Jesus because of ·what the woman said [L the word of the woman who testified]: “He told me everything I ever did.” 40 When the Samaritans came to Jesus, they ·begged [urged; asked] him to stay with them, so he stayed there two more days. 41 And many more believed because of ·the things he said [L his word].
42 They said to the woman, “·First we believed in Jesus [L It is no longer] because of what you said, but now we believe because we heard him ourselves. We know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”
Jesus Heals an Officer’s Son(A)
43 Two days later, Jesus left [L from there] and went to Galilee [C the northern region of Israel]. 44 (Jesus had ·said [testified; witnessed] before that a prophet ·is not respected [L has no honor] in his own ·country [or hometown; C probably a reference to Galilee, but some think Judea].) 45 When [L therefore] Jesus arrived in Galilee, the ·people there [L Galileans] ·welcomed [received] him. They had seen all the things he did at the Passover Feast in Jerusalem, because they had been there, too.
46 Jesus went again to visit Cana in Galilee where he had changed the water into wine [2:1–11]. One of the king’s important officers lived in the city of Capernaum, and his son was sick. 47 When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to Jesus and ·begged [urged; asked] him to come to Capernaum and heal his son, because his son was almost dead. 48 Jesus said to him, “·You people must see signs and miracles before you will believe in me [L Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe; 2:23–25; 6:26].”
49 The [royal] officer said, “Sir, ·come [L come down] before my child dies.”
50 Jesus ·answered [said to him], “Go. Your son will live.”
The man believed what Jesus told him [C he did not need “signs” and miracles] and went home. 51 On the way the man’s ·servants [slaves; bond-servants] came and met him and told him, “Your son is alive.”
52 [L So/Then] The man asked, “What ·time [hour] did my son begin to get well?”
They answered, “Yesterday at ·one o’clock [L the seventh hour; C hours were counted from dawn, about 6 AM] the fever left him.”
53 [L So/Then] The father knew that ·one o’clock was the exact time that [L in that hour] Jesus had said, “Your son will live.” So the man and all ·the people who lived in his house [his household] believed in Jesus.
54 That was the second ·miracle [L sign; C the first sign was turning water into wine; 2:1–11] Jesus did after coming from Judea to Galilee.
