生命的活水

主知道法利賽人聽見他收門徒和施洗比約翰更多( 其實不是耶穌親自施洗,而是他的門徒施洗), 就離開了猶太,再往加利利去。 他必須經過撒瑪利亞。 於是到了撒瑪利亞的一座城,名叫敘加;這城靠近雅各給他兒子約瑟的那塊地。 在那裡有雅各井。耶穌因為旅途疲倦了,就坐在井旁;那時大約正午。

有一個撒瑪利亞婦人來打水。耶穌對她說:“請給我水喝。” 那時,他的門徒都進城買食物去了。 撒瑪利亞婦人對耶穌說:“你是猶太人,怎麼向我,一個撒瑪利亞婦人要水喝呢?”(原來猶太人和撒瑪利亞人不相往來。) 10 耶穌回答她:“你若知道 神的恩賜,和對你說‘請給我水喝’的是誰,你必早已求他,他也必早把活水賜給你了。” 11 婦人說:“先生,你沒有打水的器具,井又深,你從哪裡得活水呢? 12 我們的祖先雅各把這口井留給我們,他自己和子孫以及牲畜都喝這井的水,難道你比他還大嗎?” 13 耶穌回答:“凡喝這水的,還要再渴; 14 人若喝我所賜的水,就永遠不渴。我所賜的水要在他裡面成為湧流的泉源,直湧到永生。” 15 婦人說:“先生,請把這水賜給我,使我不渴,也不用來這裡打水。”

必須用心靈按真理敬拜 神

16 耶穌說:“你去,叫你的丈夫,然後回到這裡來。” 17 婦人對他說:“我沒有丈夫。”耶穌說:“你說‘沒有丈夫’是不錯的。 18 你以前有五個丈夫,現在有的並不是你的丈夫;你說這話是真的。” 19 婦人說:“先生,我看出你是先知。 20 我們的祖先在這山上敬拜 神,而你們卻說,敬拜的地方必須在耶路撒冷。” 21 耶穌說:“婦人,你應當信我,時候將到,那時你們敬拜父,不在這山上,也不在耶路撒冷。 22 你們敬拜你們所不知道的,我們卻敬拜我們所知道的,因為救恩是從猶太人出來的。 23 然而時候將到,現在就是了,那用心靈按真理敬拜父的,才是真正敬拜的人;因為父在尋找這樣敬拜他的人。 24  神是靈,敬拜他的必須藉著靈按真理敬拜他。” 25 婦人說:“我知道那稱為基督的彌賽亞要來;他來了,要把一切都告訴我們。” 26 耶穌說:“我這現在跟你說話的就是他。”

27 正在這時候,門徒回來了,見耶穌和一個婦人說話,就很希奇;但是沒有人問:“你要甚麼?”或說:“你為甚麼跟她說話?” 28 那婦人撇下了她的水罐,進到城裡去,對眾人說: 29 “你們來,看看一個人,他把我所作的一切都說出來,難道這人就是基督嗎?” 30 眾人就出城,往耶穌那裡去。

莊稼已經熟了

31 當時,門徒對耶穌說:“拉比,請吃。” 32 耶穌說:“我有食物吃,是你們所不知道的。” 33 門徒就彼此說:“難道有人拿東西給他吃了嗎?” 34 耶穌說:“我的食物就是遵行差我來者的旨意,並且完成他的工作。 35 你們不是說‘還有四個月才到收穫的時候’嗎?我告訴你們,舉目向田觀看,莊稼已經熟了,可以收割了。 36 收割的人得到工資,也積儲五穀直到永生,使撒種的和收割的一同快樂。 37 ‘這人撒種,那人收割’,這話是真的。 38 我派你們去收割你們所沒有勞苦的;別人勞苦,你們卻享受他們勞苦的成果。”

39 因著那婦人作見證的話:“他把我所作的一切都說出來了”,那城裡就有許多撒瑪利亞人信了耶穌。 40 於是他們來到耶穌那裡,求他和他們同住,耶穌就在那裡住了兩天。 41 因著耶穌的話,信他的人就更多了。 42 他們就對那婦人說:“現在我們信,不再是因為你的話,而是因為我們親自聽見了,知道這位真是世人的救主。”

治好大臣的兒子

43 兩天之後,耶穌離開那裡,往加利利去。 44 耶穌自己說過:“先知在本鄉是不受尊敬的。” 45 耶穌到了加利利的時候,加利利人都歡迎他,因為他們曾經上耶路撒冷去過節,見過他所行的一切。

46 耶穌又到了加利利的迦拿,就是他變水為酒的地方。有一個大臣,他的兒子在迦百農患病。 47 他聽見耶穌從猶太到了加利利,就來見他,求他下去醫治他的兒子,因為他的兒子快要死了。 48 耶穌對他說:“你們若看不見神蹟奇事,總是不肯信。” 49 大臣說:“先生,求你趁我的孩子還沒有死就下去吧!” 50 耶穌告訴他:“回去吧,你的兒子好了。”那人信耶穌對他說的話,就回去了。 51 正下去的時候,他的僕人迎著他走來,說他的孩子好了。 52 他就向僕人查問孩子是甚麼時候好轉的。他們告訴他:“昨天下午一點鐘,熱就退了。” 53 這父親就知道,那正是耶穌告訴他“你的兒子好了”的時候,他自己和全家就信了。 54 這是耶穌從猶太回到加利利以後所行的第二件神蹟。

Si Jesus at ang Babaing Taga-Samaria

Nang malaman ni Jesus na narinig ng mga Fariseo na siya ay nakahihikayat ng mas maraming alagad at nagbabautismo ng mas marami kaysa kay Juan— bagama't hindi naman si Jesus ang nagbabautismo kundi ang kanyang mga alagad,— umalis siya ng Judea at nagtungo muli sa Galilea. Kailangan niyang dumaan sa Samaria, (A)kaya nakarating siya sa Sicar, isang bayan ng Samaria, malapit sa bukirin na ibinigay ni Jacob sa anak niyang si Jose. Naroon ang balon ni Jacob, kaya't nang mapagod si Jesus mula sa kanyang paglalakbay, umupo siya sa tabi niyon. Magtatanghaling tapat[a] na noon nang may isang Samaritanang dumating upang sumalok ng tubig. Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Pahingi nga ng inumin.” (Ang kanyang mga alagad ay nakaalis na noon patungong bayan upang bumili ng pagkain.) (B)Sinabi ng Samaritana sa kanya, “Ikaw ay isang Judio, bakit ka humihingi ng tubig sa akin na isang Samaritana?” (Dahil ang mga Judio ay hindi nakikitungo sa mga Samaritano.) 10 Sumagot si Jesus sa kanya, “Kung alam mo lamang ang kaloob ng Diyos at kung sino itong nagsasabi sa iyo, ‘Pahingi ng inumin,’ ikaw pa ang hihingi sa kanya, at bibigyan ka niya ng tubig ng buhay.” 11 Sinabi ng babae sa kanya, “Ginoo, wala kang pansalok ng tubig, at malalim ang balon; saan ka kukuha ng tubig ng buhay? 12 Mas dakila ka pa ba kaysa ama naming si Jacob na nagbigay ng balon sa amin, at siya mismo'y uminom mula rito, pati na rin ang kanyang mga anak at mga hayop?” 13 Sumagot si Jesus sa kanya, “Ang sinumang uminom sa tubig na ito'y muling mauuhaw, 14 subalit, ang iinom ng tubig na ibibigay ko ay hindi na kailanman mauuhaw. Ang tubig na ibibigay ko ay magiging bukal ng tubig sa kanya patungo sa buhay na walang hanggan.” 15 Sinabi ng babae sa kanya, “Ginoo, bigyan mo ako ng tubig na ito nang hindi na ako mauhaw at hindi na rin pumarito para mag-igib.” 16 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Humayo ka at tawagin mo ang iyong asawa at bumalik ka rito.” 17 Sumagot ang babae, “Wala akong asawa.” Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Tama ka sa iyong sinabing wala kang asawa, 18 dahil nagkaroon ka na ng limang asawa, at ang kinakasama mo ngayon ay hindi mo asawa. Totoo nga ang sinabi mo.” 19 Sinabi ng babae sa kanya, “Ginoo, sa tingin ko'y isa kang propeta. 20 Sumamba sa bundok na ito ang aming mga ninuno; ngunit kayong mga Judio'y nagsasabing sa Jerusalem dapat sumamba.” 21 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Ginang, maniwala ka sa akin, na darating ang oras na sasambahin ninyo ang Ama hindi sa bundok na ito, ni sa Jerusalem. 22 Sinasamba ninyo ang hindi ninyo nakikilala; kilala namin ang aming sinasamba, sapagkat ang kaligtasan ay mula sa mga Judio. 23 Ngunit ang oras ay dumarating, at ngayon na nga, kung saan ang mga tunay na sumasamba ay sasamba sa Ama sa espiritu at katotohanan, sapagkat ganito ang hinahanap ng Ama na sasamba sa kanya. 24 Ang Diyos ay espiritu, at ang mga sumasamba sa kanya ay dapat sumamba sa espiritu at katotohanan.” 25 Sinabi ng babae sa kanya, “Alam kong darating ang Mesiyas, siya na tinatawag na Cristo; sa pagdating niya, ipaliliwanag niya sa amin ang lahat ng bagay.” 26 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Ako mismong nagsasalita sa iyo ang tinutukoy mo.” 27 Dumating ang kanyang mga alagad at nagtaka sila dahil nakikipag-usap siya sa isang babae, ngunit wala ni isa mang nagtanong sa babae, “Anong gusto mo?” o kay Jesus, “Bakit kayo nakikipag-usap sa kanya?” 28 Pagkatapos ay iniwan ng babae ang kanyang sisidlan ng tubig at umalis papuntang lungsod, at sinabi niya sa mga tao, 29 “Halikayo, tingnan ninyo ang taong nagsabi sa akin ng lahat ng ginawa ko. Siya na nga kaya ang Cristo?” 30 Kaya't sila'y lumabas ng lungsod at nagpunta kay Jesus. 31 Samantala, pinilit siya ng mga alagad niya at sinabi, “Rabbi, kumain po kayo.” 32 Ngunit sinabi niya sa kanila, “Mayroon akong pagkaing hindi ninyo alam.” 33 Kaya't sinabi ng mga alagad sa isa't isa, “Wala namang nagdala sa kanya ng pagkain, hindi ba?” 34 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Ang pagkain ko'y gawin ang kalooban niya na nagsugo sa akin, at tuparin ang kanyang gawain. 35 Hindi ba sinasabi ninyo, ‘Apat na buwan na lang at anihan na?’ Sinasabi ko sa inyo, imulat ninyo ang inyong mga mata at tingnan ninyo ang mga bukirin at handa na ang mga iyon para anihin. 36 Ang umaani ay tumatanggap ng kabayaran, at nagtitipon ng bunga tungo sa buhay na walang hanggan. Sa gayon, ang nagtatanim at ang umaani ay magkasalong magagalak. 37 Dahil dito, totoo nga ang kasabihan, ‘Iba ang nagtatanim, at iba naman ang nag-aani.’ 38 Isinugo ko kayo upang anihin ang hindi ninyo pinagpaguran. Iba ang nagpagod, at kayo'y umaani sa kanilang pinagpaguran.” 39 Maraming taga-Samaria mula sa lungsod na iyon ang sumampalataya kay Jesus dahil sa patotoong ito ng babae: “Sinabi niya ang lahat ng ginawa ko.” 40 Kaya noong pumunta sa kanya ang mga taga-Samaria, hiniling nila kay Jesus na manatili sa kanila. Dalawang araw siyang nanatili roon. 41 At marami pa ang sumampalataya dahil sa salita ni Jesus. 42 Sinabi nila sa babae, “Hindi na dahil sa mga salita mo kung bakit kami sumasampalataya, sapagkat kami mismo ang nakarinig sa kanya. Nalalaman naming siya nga ang Tagapagligtas ng sanlibutan.”

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Anak ng Mayamang Pinuno

43 Pagkalipas ng dalawang araw, pumunta si Jesus sa Galilea, 44 (C)sapagkat siya mismo ang nagpatotoo na ang isang propeta ay walang karangalan sa sarili niyang bayan. 45 (D)Kaya nang dumating siya sa Galilea, tinangkilik siya ng mga tagaroon, dahil nakita nila ang lahat ng kanyang ginawa sa Jerusalem noong kapistahan, sapagkat sila man ay naroroon din. 46 (E)Muli siyang nagpunta sa Cana ng Galilea. (Doon niya ginawang alak ang tubig.) Sa Capernaum, may isang mayamang pinunong may anak na lalaki na nagkasakit. 47 Nang mabalitaan nito na si Jesus ay dumating sa Galilea mula sa Judea, nagpunta ito sa kanya. Hiniling ng pinuno kay Jesus na puntahan ang kanyang anak na lalaki upang pagalingin, sapagkat malapit na iyong mamatay. 48 Kaya sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Kung hindi pa kayo makakita ng mga himala at mga kababalaghan, hinding-hindi kayo maniniwala.” 49 Sinabi ng pinuno sa kanya, “Ginoo, pumunta na po kayo bago mamatay ang anak ko.” 50 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Humayo ka na, mabubuhay ang anak mo.” Naniwala ang lalaki sa sinabi ni Jesus at siya'y umalis na. 51 Habang siya'y naglalakad, sinalubong siya ng kanyang mga lingkod at ibinalita sa kanya na magaling na ang anak niya. 52 Tinanong niya sila kung anong oras ito gumaling, at ang sabi nila, “Ala-una[b] po kahapon nang mawalan siya ng lagnat.” 53 Naalala ng ama na iyon ang oras nang sabihin sa kanya ni Jesus na mabubuhay ang kanyang anak. At siya'y sumampalataya, pati na rin ang buo niyang sambahayan. 54 Ito ang pangalawang himalang ginawa ni Jesus. Nangyari ito nang siya'y dumating sa Galilea mula sa Judea.

  2. Juan 4:52 Ala-una po kahapon: Sa Griyego, ikapitong oras.

When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.

And he must needs go through Samaria.

Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?

28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,

29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.

32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.

33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?

34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.

39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.

40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.

41 And many more believed because of his own word;

42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.

43 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.

44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.

46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.

47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.

50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.

51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.

52 Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.

53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.

54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.

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.
