約翰福音 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
井邊談道
4 1-3 耶穌得知法利賽人聽見祂收門徒、為人施洗比約翰還多，便離開猶太回加利利。其實不是耶穌親自施洗，而是祂的門徒施洗。 4 祂回加利利的路上必須經過撒瑪利亞。 5 於是，祂來到撒瑪利亞的一座城，名叫敘加，靠近雅各留給他兒子約瑟的那塊地。 6 雅各井就在那個地方。耶穌走路疲乏，坐在井旁休息。那時是中午時分， 7-8 門徒都進城買食物去了。有一個撒瑪利亞的婦人來打水，耶穌說：「請你給我一點水吧。」
9 撒瑪利亞婦人說：「你是個猶太人，怎麼向我這撒瑪利亞婦人要水喝？」原來猶太人和撒瑪利亞人互不往來。
10 耶穌回答說：「要是你知道上帝的恩賜，又知道向你要水喝的是誰，你早就求祂了，祂也早就把活水給你了。」
11 婦人說：「先生，你沒有打水的器具，井又深，你從哪裡得到活水呢？ 12 我們的祖先雅各把這口井留給我們，他自己和他的兒女、牲畜都喝這井裡的水，難道你比他更偉大嗎？」
13 耶穌說：「人喝了這井裡的水，還會再渴， 14 但是喝了我所賜的活水，永遠不會再渴。我所賜的水要在他裡面成為生命的泉源，湧流不息，直到永生。」
15 婦人說：「先生，請你把這種水賜給我，我就不會再渴了，也用不著來打水了。」
16 耶穌說：「去叫你的丈夫來。」
17 婦人說：「我沒有丈夫。」耶穌說：「你說的對，你沒有丈夫， 18 因為你已經有過五個丈夫了，現在和你同居的也不是你的丈夫。你說的是實話。」
19 婦人說：「先生，你一定是先知。 20 我們的祖先一向都是在這山上敬拜上帝，你們卻說耶路撒冷才是敬拜的地方。」
21 耶穌回答說：「婦人，你當信我。時候快到了，你們將不在這山上，也不在耶路撒冷敬拜父。 22 你們不知道你們敬拜的是誰，我們知道我們敬拜的是誰，因為救恩是從猶太人出來的。 23 時候快到了，其實就是現在，真正敬拜父的，要用心靈按真理敬拜祂，因為父尋找的正是這樣敬拜祂的人。 24 上帝是靈，所以必須用心靈按真理敬拜祂。」
25 婦人說：「據我所知，那被稱為基督的彌賽亞要來。祂來了，會把一切都告訴我們。」
26 耶穌說：「我這跟你說話的人就是祂。」
27 這時，門徒回來了，看見耶穌和一個婦人談話，感到驚奇，可是沒有人問：「你想要什麼？」或問：「你為什麼和她說話？」
28 那婦人撇下水罐，回到城裡，對人們說： 29 「你們快來看啊！有一個人把我過去的事全部說了出來。莫非祂就是基督？」 30 眾人聽了就到城外去看耶穌。
撒種與收割
31 其間，門徒對耶穌說：「老師，請吃點東西吧。」
32 耶穌說：「我有食物吃，是你們不知道的。」
33 門徒彼此議論說：「難道有人給祂吃的了？」
34 耶穌說：「我的食物就是遵行差我來者的旨意，完成祂的工作。 35 你們不是說還有四個月才到收割的時候嗎？舉目向田觀看吧，莊稼已經熟了，可以收割了。 36 收割的人不但可以得到報酬，而且可以為永生收穫果實，叫撒種的和收割的一同快樂。 37 俗語說得好，『那人撒種，這人收割。』 38 我派你們去收割那些你們沒有勞作的莊稼，別人勞苦，你們享受他們勞苦的成果。」
39 那城裡有許多撒瑪利亞人信了耶穌，因為那婦人做見證說：「祂將我以前做的一切事情都說了出來。」 40 撒瑪利亞人來見耶穌，懇求祂留下來，祂就在那裡住了兩天。 41 因為耶穌傳的道，信的人更多了。 42 他們對那婦人說：「現在我們信，不再是因為你的話，而是我們親耳聽見了，知道祂真的是救世主。」
耶穌治好大臣的兒子
43 兩天後，耶穌動身前往加利利。 44 祂以前說過：「先知在他本鄉不受人尊敬。」 45 然而，祂回到加利利卻受到當地的人歡迎，因為他們上耶路撒冷過節時，看見了祂所做的一切。
46 祂又到了加利利的迦拿，就是祂從前把水變成酒的地方。有一個大臣的兒子在迦百農患了病。 47 大臣聽說耶穌從猶太來到加利利，立刻趕來見祂，求祂去醫治他病危的兒子。
48 耶穌對他說：「你們不看見神蹟奇事，總不相信。」
49 大臣說：「先生，趁我的孩子還沒死，求你趕快去！」
50 耶穌說：「回去吧，你的兒子好了。」他相信耶穌的話，就回去了。
51 他途中遇見奴僕來報信說他兒子好了， 52 就問什麼時候好的。僕人說：「昨天下午一點鐘，燒就退了。」
53 他想起正是那時候耶穌對他說：「你的兒子好了！」他和全家都信了。
54 這是耶穌從猶太回到加利利後所行的第二個神蹟。

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.

A Woman of Samaria at the Well
4 Jesus knew the proud religious law-keepers had heard He was making and baptizing more followers than John. 2 Jesus did not baptize anyone Himself but His followers did. 3 Then Jesus went from the country of Judea to the country of Galilee. 4 He had to go through the country of Samaria. 5 So He came to a town in Samaria called Sycar. It was near the piece of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus was tired from traveling so He sat down just as He was by the well. It was about noon.
7 A woman of Samaria came to get water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.” 8 His followers had gone to the town to buy food. 9 The woman of Samaria said to Him, “You are a Jew. I am of Samaria. Why do You ask me for a drink when the Jews have nothing to do with the people of Samaria?”
10 Jesus said to her, “You do not know what God has to give. You do not know Who said to you, ‘Give Me a drink.’ If you knew, you would have asked Him. He would have given you living water.” 11 The woman said to Him, “Sir, the well is deep. You have nothing to get water with. Where will You get the living water? 12 Are You greater than our early father Jacob? He gave us the well. He and his children and his cattle drank from it.”
Jesus Tells of the Living Water
13 Jesus said to her, “Whoever drinks this water will be thirsty again. 14 Whoever drinks the water that I will give him will never be thirsty. The water that I will give him will become in him a well of life that lasts forever.”
15 The woman said, “Sir, give me this water so I will never be thirsty. Then I will not have to come all this way for water.”
The True Kind of Worship
16 Jesus said to her, “Go call your husband and come back.” 17 The woman said, “I have no husband.” Jesus said, “You told the truth when you said, ‘I have no husband.’ 18 You have had five husbands. The one you have now is not your husband. You told the truth.”
19 The woman said to Him, “Sir, I think You are a person Who speaks for God. 20 Our early fathers worshiped on this mountain. You Jews say Jerusalem is the place where men should worship.”
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me. The time is coming when you will not worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem. 22 You people do not know what you worship. We Jews know what we worship. It is through the Jews that men are saved from the punishment of their sins. 23 The time is coming, yes, it is here now, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father wants that kind of worshipers. 24 God is Spirit. Those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”
Jesus Is the One the Jews Are Looking For
25 The woman said to Him, “I know the Jews are looking for One Who is coming. He is called the Christ. When He comes, He will tell us everything.” 26 Jesus said to her, “I am the Christ, the One talking with you!”
27 Right then the followers came back and were surprised and wondered about finding Him talking with a woman. But no one said, “What do You want?” or, “Why are You talking with her?”
28 The woman left her water jar and went into the town. She said to the men, 29 “Come and see a Man Who told me everything I ever did! Can this be the Christ?” 30 They went out of town and came to Him.
Jesus Tells Them of a New Kind of Food
31 During this time His followers were saying to Him, “Teacher, eat something.” 32 He said, “I have food to eat that you do not know of.” 33 The followers said to each other, “Has someone taken food to Him?” 34 Jesus said, “My food is to do what God wants Me to do and to finish His work. 35 Do you not say, ‘It is four months yet until the time to gather grain’? Listen! I say to you, open your eyes and look at the fields. They are white now and waiting for the grain to be gathered in. 36 The one who gathers gets his pay. He gathers fruit that lasts forever. The one who plants and the one who gathers will have joy together. 37 These words are true, ‘One man plants and another man gathers.’ 38 I sent you to gather where you have not planted. Others have planted and you have come along to gather in their fruit.”
The People of Samaria Believe in Jesus
39 Many people in that town of Samaria believed in Jesus because of what the woman said about Him. She said, “He told me everything I ever did.” 40 So the people of Samaria came to Him. They asked Him to stay with them. Jesus stayed there two days. 41 Many more people believed because of what He said. 42 They said to the woman, “Now we believe! It is no longer because of what you said about Jesus but we have heard Him ourselves. We know, for sure, that He is the Christ, the One Who saves men of this world from the punishment of their sins.”
Jesus Goes to Galilee
43 Two days later He went from there and came to the country of Galilee. 44 Jesus Himself said that no one who speaks for God is respected in his own country. 45 When He came to Galilee, the people there were glad. They had seen all the things He did in Jerusalem. It was at the time of the special religious gathering to remember how the Jews left Egypt. They had been there also.
Jesus Heals the Dying Boy in Capernaum
46 Jesus came again to the town of Cana of Galilee where He had made water into wine. A man who worked with the king had a son who was sick in the city of Capernaum. 47 This man went to Jesus. He had heard that Jesus had come from the country of Judea to Galilee. The man asked Jesus if He would go to Capernaum and heal his son who was dying. 48 Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you see special things and powerful works done, you will not believe.” 49 The man said to Him, “Sir, come with me before my son dies.” 50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son will live.” The man put his trust in what Jesus said and left.
51 As he was on his way home, his servants met him. They said to him, “Your son is living!” 52 He asked them what time his boy began to get well. They said to him, “Yesterday at one o’clock the sickness left.” 53 The father knew it was the time Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” He and everyone in his house put their trust in Jesus. 54 This was the second powerful work that Jesus did after He came from the country of Judea to the country of Galilee.
