约翰福音 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
井边谈道
4 1-3 耶稣得知法利赛人听见祂收门徒、为人施洗比约翰还多,便离开犹太回加利利。其实不是耶稣亲自施洗,而是祂的门徒施洗。 4 祂回加利利的路上必须经过撒玛利亚。 5 于是,祂来到撒玛利亚的一座城,名叫叙加,靠近雅各留给他儿子约瑟的那块地。 6 雅各井就在那个地方。耶稣走路疲乏,坐在井旁休息。那时是中午时分, 7-8 门徒都进城买食物去了。有一个撒玛利亚的妇人来打水,耶稣说:“请你给我一点水吧。”
9 撒玛利亚妇人说:“你是个犹太人,怎么向我这撒玛利亚妇人要水喝?”原来犹太人和撒玛利亚人互不往来。
10 耶稣回答说:“要是你知道上帝的恩赐,又知道向你要水喝的是谁,你早就求祂了,祂也早就把活水给你了。”
11 妇人说:“先生,你没有打水的器具,井又深,你从哪里得到活水呢? 12 我们的祖先雅各把这口井留给我们,他自己和他的儿女、牲畜都喝这井里的水,难道你比他更伟大吗?”
13 耶稣说:“人喝了这井里的水,还会再渴, 14 但是喝了我所赐的活水,永远不会再渴。我所赐的水要在他里面成为生命的泉源,涌流不息,直到永生。”
15 妇人说:“先生,请你把这种水赐给我,我就不会再渴了,也用不着来打水了。”
16 耶稣说:“去叫你的丈夫来。”
17 妇人说:“我没有丈夫。”耶稣说:“你说的对,你没有丈夫, 18 因为你已经有过五个丈夫了,现在和你同居的也不是你的丈夫。你说的是实话。”
19 妇人说:“先生,你一定是先知。 20 我们的祖先一向都是在这山上敬拜上帝,你们却说耶路撒冷才是敬拜的地方。”
21 耶稣回答说:“妇人,你当信我。时候快到了,你们将不在这山上,也不在耶路撒冷敬拜父。 22 你们不知道你们敬拜的是谁,我们知道我们敬拜的是谁,因为救恩是从犹太人出来的。 23 时候快到了,其实就是现在,真正敬拜父的,要用心灵按真理敬拜祂,因为父寻找的正是这样敬拜祂的人。 24 上帝是灵,所以必须用心灵按真理敬拜祂。”
25 妇人说:“据我所知,那被称为基督的弥赛亚要来。祂来了,会把一切都告诉我们。”
26 耶稣说:“我这跟你说话的人就是祂。”
27 这时,门徒回来了,看见耶稣和一个妇人谈话,感到惊奇,可是没有人问:“你想要什么?”或问:“你为什么和她说话?”
28 那妇人撇下水罐,回到城里,对人们说: 29 “你们快来看啊!有一个人把我过去的事全部说了出来。莫非祂就是基督?” 30 众人听了就到城外去看耶稣。
撒种与收割
31 其间,门徒对耶稣说:“老师,请吃点东西吧。”
32 耶稣说:“我有食物吃,是你们不知道的。”
33 门徒彼此议论说:“难道有人给祂吃的了?”
34 耶稣说:“我的食物就是遵行差我来者的旨意,完成祂的工作。 35 你们不是说还有四个月才到收割的时候吗?举目向田观看吧,庄稼已经熟了,可以收割了。 36 收割的人不但可以得到报酬,而且可以为永生收获果实,叫撒种的和收割的一同快乐。 37 俗语说得好,‘那人撒种,这人收割。’ 38 我派你们去收割那些你们没有劳作的庄稼,别人劳苦,你们享受他们劳苦的成果。”
39 那城里有许多撒玛利亚人信了耶稣,因为那妇人做见证说:“祂将我以前做的一切事情都说了出来。” 40 撒玛利亚人来见耶稣,恳求祂留下来,祂就在那里住了两天。 41 因为耶稣传的道,信的人更多了。 42 他们对那妇人说:“现在我们信,不再是因为你的话,而是我们亲耳听见了,知道祂真的是救世主。”
耶稣治好大臣的儿子
43 两天后,耶稣动身前往加利利。 44 祂以前说过:“先知在他本乡不受人尊敬。” 45 然而,祂回到加利利却受到当地的人欢迎,因为他们上耶路撒冷过节时,看见了祂所做的一切。
46 祂又到了加利利的迦拿,就是祂从前把水变成酒的地方。有一个大臣的儿子在迦百农患了病。 47 大臣听说耶稣从犹太来到加利利,立刻赶来见祂,求祂去医治他病危的儿子。
48 耶稣对他说:“你们不看见神迹奇事,总不相信。”
49 大臣说:“先生,趁我的孩子还没死,求你赶快去!”
50 耶稣说:“回去吧,你的儿子好了。”他相信耶稣的话,就回去了。
51 他途中遇见奴仆来报信说他儿子好了, 52 就问什么时候好的。仆人说:“昨天下午一点钟,烧就退了。”
53 他想起正是那时候耶稣对他说:“你的儿子好了!”他和全家都信了。
54 这是耶稣从犹太回到加利利后所行的第二个神迹。
João 4
O Livro
Jesus conversa com a mulher samaritana
4 Os fariseus ouviram dizer que Jesus estava a batizar e a fazer mais discípulos que João. 2 Embora, de facto, não era Jesus quem batizava, mas os seus discípulos. 3 Quando o Senhor constatou isso, deixou a Judeia e voltou para a província da Galileia.
4 Para isso, tinha de atravessar a Samaria. 5-6 Cerca do meio-dia, ao aproximar-se da localidade de Sicar, chegou ao poço de Jacob, no terreno que este dera a seu filho José. Cansado da longa caminhada, Jesus sentou-se junto ao poço. 7 Apareceu uma samaritana para tirar água e Jesus pediu-lhe: “Dá-me de beber.” 8 Os discípulos tinham ido à aldeia comprar comida.
9 A mulher estava admirada, pois os judeus não convivem com os samaritanos, e disse-lhe: “Como, sendo tu judeu, me pedes de beber a mim que sou samaritana?”
10 Jesus respondeu: “Se ao menos compreendesses o dom maravilhoso que Deus tem para ti e quem eu sou, serias tu a pedir-me que te desse água viva!”
11 “Mas tu não tens com que a tirar!”, tornou ela. “E o poço é fundo! Onde irias buscar essa água viva? 12 Serás maior que o nosso antepassado Jacob? Como poderás oferecer água melhor do que esta, que ele, os seus filhos e o seu gado beberam?”
13 Jesus respondeu: “As pessoas que bebem desta água depressa ficam outra vez com sede. 14 Mas a água que eu lhes der torna-se uma fonte sem fim dentro delas, dando-lhes vida eterna.”
15 “Senhor, dá-me dessa água, para não sentir mais sede e não ter de vir aqui tirar água!”
16 “Vai chamar o teu marido”, disse-lhe Jesus.
17-18 “Não tenho marido!” respondeu-lhe.
“É verdade, não tens marido. Porque tiveste cinco maridos e nem sequer estás casada com o homem com quem vives agora.”
19 “Senhor, deves ser profeta!”, exclamou ela.
20 “Mas diz-me: porque é que vocês, judeus, teimam que Jerusalém é o único sítio de adoração? Para nós, samaritanos, esse sítio é aqui no monte Gerizim, onde os nossos antepassados adoravam.”
21 Jesus esclareceu-a: “Acredita em mim, mulher. Vem o momento em que já não teremos de nos preocupar se o Pai deve ser adorado aqui ou em Jerusalém. 22 Vocês adoram o que desconhecem, ao passo que nós conhecemos, pois é através dos judeus que a salvação vem ao mundo. 23 Mas chega a hora, e é agora mesmo, em que os que verdadeiramente o adoram devem adorá-lo em espírito e verdade. É assim que o Pai quer que o adoremos. 24 Deus é espírito e os que o adoram devem adorá-lo em espírito e em verdade!”
25 A mulher disse: “Eu sei que há de vir o Messias, chamado Cristo, e que quando vier nos explicará tudo.”
26 Então Jesus disse-lhe: “Sou eu o Cristo!”
27 Nesse momento chegaram os discípulos, que ficaram espantados por encontrá-lo a falar com aquela mulher; mas ninguém lhe perguntou porquê. 28 A mulher deixou o balde junto ao poço. E voltando para a aldeia disse a toda a gente: 29 “Venham ver um homem que me disse tudo o que eu fiz! Não será ele o Cristo?” 30 Então o povo veio a correr da localidade para o ver.
31 Entretanto, os discípulos insistiam com Jesus para que comesse. 32 “Não!” disse-lhes. “Eu tenho um alimento que vocês não conhecem.” 33 E os discípulos puseram-se a perguntar uns aos outros quem lhe teria trazido comida.
34 Jesus explicou: “O meu alimento é fazer a vontade de Deus, que me enviou, e terminar a sua obra. 35 Pensam, porventura, que a ceifa só começará quando o verão acabar daqui a quatro meses? Olhem à vossa volta! Em torno de nós amadurecem vastos campos, já prontos para a ceifa. 36 Os ceifeiros recebem o seu salário e o fruto que colhem são pessoas trazidas para a vida eterna. E que alegria, tanto daquele que semeia como daquele que colhe! 37 Pois é bem verdade que um semeia o que outro irá colher. 38 Mandei-vos colher onde não semearam; outros tiveram o trabalho e vocês receberam a colheita.”
39 Muitos dos habitantes daquela terra samaritana creram em Jesus, levados por aquilo que a mulher afirmara: “Disse-me tudo o que fiz!” 40 Os que foram vê-lo junto ao poço pediram-lhe que ficasse na sua aldeia. E Jesus assim fez durante dois dias. 41 O suficiente para que muitos outros cressem depois de o ouvirem. 42 Então disseram à mulher: “Agora acreditamos porque nós próprios o ouvimos e não apenas pelo que nos contaste. É, de facto, o Salvador do mundo!”
Jesus cura o filho de um oficial
43 Depois de ter ficado ali dois dias, seguiu para a Galileia, 44 embora ele próprio tivesse dito que um profeta tem honras em toda a parte menos na sua própria terra. 45 Mas os galileus receberam-no de braços abertos, pois tinham estado em Jerusalém durante a festa da Páscoa e assistido aos seus milagres.
46 Regressou a Caná da Galileia, onde tinha transformado a água em vinho. Havia ali um homem, funcionário do governo, cujo filho estava doente em Cafarnaum. 47 Este homem, ao ouvir dizer que Jesus vinha da Judeia para a Galileia, foi ao seu encontro para lhe pedir que o acompanhasse e lhe curasse o filho que estava quase à morte.
48 Jesus perguntou-lhe: “Então nenhum de vocês acredita em mim a não ser vendo-me fazer sinais e maravilhas?”
49 Mas o homem rogou-lhe: “Senhor, vem já, antes que o meu filho morra!”
50 “Volta para casa porque o teu filho vai sobreviver!” O homem, crendo em Jesus, voltou para casa.
51 Ainda ia a caminho, quando vieram ao encontro alguns servos com a notícia de que o filho já estava bom. 52 Perguntou-lhes quando fora que o jovem se sentira curado e responderam: “Ontem à tarde, por volta da uma hora, a febre desapareceu.” 53 Então aquele pai compreendeu que isso sucedera no preciso momento em que Jesus lhe dissera: “O teu filho vai sobreviver.” Ele e toda a sua casa creram. 54 Foi este o segundo sinal de Jesus na Galileia depois de ter vindo da Judeia.
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
New International Version
Jesus Talks With a Samaritan Woman
4 Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John(A)— 2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. 3 So he left Judea(B) and went back once more to Galilee.
4 Now he had to go through Samaria.(C) 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.(D) 6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.
7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?”(E) 8 (His disciples had gone into the town(F) to buy food.)
9 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.
