约翰福音 4
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
生命的活水
4 主知道法利赛人听见他收门徒和施洗比约翰更多( 2 其实不是耶稣亲自施洗,而是他的门徒施洗), 3 就离开了犹太,再往加利利去。 4 他必须经过撒玛利亚。 5 于是到了撒玛利亚的一座城,名叫叙加;这城靠近雅各给他儿子约瑟的那块地。 6 在那里有雅各井。耶稣因为旅途疲倦了,就坐在井旁;那时大约正午。
7 有一个撒玛利亚妇人来打水。耶稣对她说:“请给我水喝。” 8 那时,他的门徒都进城买食物去了。 9 撒玛利亚妇人对耶稣说:“你是犹太人,怎么向我,一个撒玛利亚妇人要水喝呢?”(原来犹太人和撒玛利亚人不相往来。) 10 耶稣回答她:“你若知道 神的恩赐,和对你说‘请给我水喝’的是谁,你必早已求他,他也必早把活水赐给你了。” 11 妇人说:“先生,你没有打水的器具,井又深,你从哪里得活水呢? 12 我们的祖先雅各把这口井留给我们,他自己和子孙以及牲畜都喝这井的水,难道你比他还大吗?” 13 耶稣回答:“凡喝这水的,还要再渴; 14 人若喝我所赐的水,就永远不渴。我所赐的水要在他里面成为涌流的泉源,直涌到永生。” 15 妇人说:“先生,请把这水赐给我,使我不渴,也不用来这里打水。”
必须用心灵按真理敬拜 神
16 耶稣说:“你去,叫你的丈夫,然后回到这里来。” 17 妇人对他说:“我没有丈夫。”耶稣说:“你说‘没有丈夫’是不错的。 18 你以前有五个丈夫,现在有的并不是你的丈夫;你说这话是真的。” 19 妇人说:“先生,我看出你是先知。 20 我们的祖先在这山上敬拜 神,而你们却说,敬拜的地方必须在耶路撒冷。” 21 耶稣说:“妇人,你应当信我,时候将到,那时你们敬拜父,不在这山上,也不在耶路撒冷。 22 你们敬拜你们所不知道的,我们却敬拜我们所知道的,因为救恩是从犹太人出来的。 23 然而时候将到,现在就是了,那用心灵按真理敬拜父的,才是真正敬拜的人;因为父在寻找这样敬拜他的人。 24 神是灵,敬拜他的必须借着灵按真理敬拜他。” 25 妇人说:“我知道那称为基督的弥赛亚要来;他来了,要把一切都告诉我们。” 26 耶稣说:“我这现在跟你说话的就是他。”
27 正在这时候,门徒回来了,见耶稣和一个妇人说话,就很希奇;但是没有人问:“你要甚么?”或说:“你为甚么跟她说话?” 28 那妇人撇下了她的水罐,进到城里去,对众人说: 29 “你们来,看看一个人,他把我所作的一切都说出来,难道这人就是基督吗?” 30 众人就出城,往耶稣那里去。
庄稼已经熟了
31 当时,门徒对耶稣说:“拉比,请吃。” 32 耶稣说:“我有食物吃,是你们所不知道的。” 33 门徒就彼此说:“难道有人拿东西给他吃了吗?” 34 耶稣说:“我的食物就是遵行差我来者的旨意,并且完成他的工作。 35 你们不是说‘还有四个月才到收获的时候’吗?我告诉你们,举目向田观看,庄稼已经熟了,可以收割了。 36 收割的人得到工资,也积储五谷直到永生,使撒种的和收割的一同快乐。 37 ‘这人撒种,那人收割’,这话是真的。 38 我派你们去收割你们所没有劳苦的;别人劳苦,你们却享受他们劳苦的成果。”
39 因着那妇人作见证的话:“他把我所作的一切都说出来了”,那城里就有许多撒玛利亚人信了耶稣。 40 于是他们来到耶稣那里,求他和他们同住,耶稣就在那里住了两天。 41 因着耶稣的话,信他的人就更多了。 42 他们就对那妇人说:“现在我们信,不再是因为你的话,而是因为我们亲自听见了,知道这位真是世人的救主。”
治好大臣的儿子
43 两天之后,耶稣离开那里,往加利利去。 44 耶稣自己说过:“先知在本乡是不受尊敬的。” 45 耶稣到了加利利的时候,加利利人都欢迎他,因为他们曾经上耶路撒冷去过节,见过他所行的一切。
46 耶稣又到了加利利的迦拿,就是他变水为酒的地方。有一个大臣,他的儿子在迦百农患病。 47 他听见耶稣从犹太到了加利利,就来见他,求他下去医治他的儿子,因为他的儿子快要死了。 48 耶稣对他说:“你们若看不见神迹奇事,总是不肯信。” 49 大臣说:“先生,求你趁我的孩子还没有死就下去吧!” 50 耶稣告诉他:“回去吧,你的儿子好了。”那人信耶稣对他说的话,就回去了。 51 正下去的时候,他的仆人迎着他走来,说他的孩子好了。 52 他就向仆人查问孩子是甚么时候好转的。他们告诉他:“昨天下午一点钟,热就退了。” 53 这父亲就知道,那正是耶稣告诉他“你的儿子好了”的时候,他自己和全家就信了。 54 这是耶稣从犹太回到加利利以后所行的第二件神迹。
John 4
English Standard Version
Jesus and the Woman of Samaria
4 Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and (A)baptizing more disciples than John 2 (although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples), 3 he left Judea and departed (B)again for Galilee. 4 (C)And he had to pass through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the field (D)that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 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]
7 A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, (F)“Give me a drink.” 8 (For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.) 9 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.
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.

Juan 4
Palabra de Dios para Todos
La mujer de Samaria
4 Jesús se enteró de que los fariseos habían oído decir que él ya tenía más seguidores que Juan, es decir que bautizaba más gente que Juan. 2 Aunque realmente no era Jesús el que bautizaba, sino sus seguidores. 3 Jesús se fue de Judea y regresó otra vez a Galilea. 4 Ya que tenía que pasar por la región de Samaria, 5 llegó, pues, a un pueblo samaritano llamado Sicar, cerca de la tierra que Jacob le había dado a su hijo José. 6 Allí estaba el pozo de Jacob, donde Jesús se sentó porque estaba cansado de caminar. Era casi el mediodía. 7-8 Los seguidores se habían ido al pueblo a comprar comida. Mientras tanto, una mujer samaritana vino a sacar agua y Jesús le dijo:
—Dame un poco de agua.
9 La samaritana le dijo:
—¿Por qué me pides agua si tú eres judío y yo soy samaritana?
Le dijo eso porque los judíos no se tratan con los samaritanos.
10 Jesús le respondió:
—No sabes lo que Dios da gratuitamente ni sabes quién soy yo. Te estoy pidiendo un poco de agua y si tú supieras quién soy, me estarías pidiendo a mí. Yo te puedo dar agua viva.
11 La mujer le dijo:
—Señor, no tienes ni siquiera un balde, y el pozo es profundo. ¿De dónde me vas a dar agua viva? 12 Nuestro antepasado Jacob nos dio este pozo. Sus hijos y sus animales bebieron de él. ¿Acaso eres más que él?
13 Él le contestó:
—Todos los que tomen de esta agua volverán a tener sed. 14 Pero el que beba del agua que yo doy, nunca más tendrá sed. El agua que le daré brotará dentro de él como un manantial que da vida eterna.
15 La mujer le dijo:
—Señor dame de esa agua, para que ya jamás tenga sed. Ni siquiera tendré que venir aquí a sacar agua.
16 Él le dijo:
—Ve a llamar a tu esposo y vuelve.
17 Ella le contestó:
—No tengo esposo.
Jesús le dijo:
—Así es. Dices la verdad al decir que no tienes esposo. 18 Has tenido cinco maridos y el hombre con quien vives ahora tampoco es tu marido; en eso tienes razón.
La mujer contestó:
19 —Señor, me doy cuenta de que eres un profeta. 20 Nuestros antepasados adoraron a Dios en este monte, pero ustedes los judíos dicen que debe ser adorado en Jerusalén.
21 Jesús le dijo:
—Créeme, mujer, que llegará el momento en que ustedes no adorarán al Padre en este monte ni tampoco en Jerusalén. 22 Ustedes adoran algo que no entienden. Nosotros sabemos lo que adoramos porque la salvación viene de los judíos. 23 Pero llegará el momento, y en efecto ya ha llegado, en que los verdaderos adoradores adorarán al Padre en espíritu y en verdad. El Padre está buscando gente que lo adore así. 24 Dios es Espíritu, y los que le adoran deben adorarlo en espíritu y en verdad.
La mujer le dijo:
25 —Yo sé que el Mesías va a venir. Cuando venga hablará de todo esto. (El Mesías es el que se llama el Cristo).
26 Jesús le dijo:
—Ese soy yo, el que está hablando contigo.
27 En ese momento regresaron sus seguidores. Estaban muy sorprendidos de que él estuviera hablando con una mujer, pero ninguno le preguntó: «¿Tú qué quieres de ella?» o «¿Por qué estás hablando con ella?»
28 La mujer dejó su cántaro de agua, se fue al pueblo y le dijo a la gente:
29 —¡Vengan a ver a un hombre que me dijo todo lo que he hecho! ¿Podría ser este el Mesías?
30 La gente salió del pueblo y fue a donde estaba Jesús. 31 Mientras tanto, los seguidores le rogaban a Jesús:
—Maestro, come algo.
32 Pero él les dijo:
—Yo tengo una comida que ustedes no conocen.
33 Entonces sus seguidores comenzaron a preguntarse unos a otros:
—¿Será que alguien ya le trajo algo de comer?
34 Jesús les dijo:
—Mi comida es hacer lo que Dios quiere porque él es quien me envió. Estaré satisfecho cuando termine el trabajo que él me dio. 35 Ustedes dicen: “Hay que esperar cuatro meses más para la cosecha”. Pues miren, yo les digo, levanten los ojos y observen los campos porque ya están listos para la cosecha. 36 El que cosecha recibe su paga. Está reuniendo una cosecha para la vida eterna. Así que tanto el que siembra como el que cosecha sienten alegría. 37 Realmente es cierto el dicho: “Uno es el que siembra y otro el que cosecha”. 38 Los envié para que cosechen un campo que ustedes no trabajaron. Fueron otros los que lo trabajaron, y ahora ustedes disfrutan del trabajo de ellos.
39 Muchos samaritanos de ese pueblo creyeron en Jesús por el testimonio de la mujer: «Él me dijo todo lo que he hecho». 40 Entonces los samaritanos se le acercaron, le pidieron que se quedara con ellos y él se quedó allí dos días. 41 Fueron muchos más los que creyeron por lo que Jesús decía. 42 Le dijeron a la mujer:
—Ya no creemos sólo por lo que tú dices, creemos por lo que nosotros mismos hemos escuchado. Ahora sabemos que este hombre sí es el Salvador del mundo.
Jesús sana al hijo de un oficial
(Mt 8:5-13; Lc 7:1-10)
43 Dos días después, Jesús se fue de ahí para Galilea 44 porque como él mismo dijo, ningún profeta es respetado en su tierra. 45 Cuando llegó a Galilea, la gente le dio la bienvenida. Esa gente había ido a Jerusalén y había visto todo lo que él había hecho allí durante la fiesta de la Pascua.
46 Jesús se fue otra vez para Caná de Galilea, donde había convertido el agua en vino. En Capernaúm, el hijo de un oficial del rey estaba enfermo. 47 Cuando el oficial se enteró de que Jesús había venido a Galilea desde Judea, fue a rogarle que fuera a Capernaúm y sanara a su hijo, que estaba a punto de morir. 48 Jesús le dijo:
—Ustedes no creerán si no ven señales milagrosas y maravillas.
49 El oficial del rey le dijo:
—Señor, venga rápido antes de que mi hijo muera.
50 Jesús le dijo:
—Vete a casa, tu hijo vivirá.
El hombre creyó lo que Jesús le dijo y se fue a casa. 51 Camino a casa se encontró con sus siervos, quienes le contaron que su hijo vivía. 52 Él les preguntó a qué hora se había mejorado, y ellos le dijeron:
—La fiebre le bajó ayer a la una de la tarde.[a]
53 El papá se dio cuenta de que fue a la misma hora que Jesús le dijo: «Tu hijo vivirá». Él y todos los de su casa creyeron.
54 Esta fue la segunda señal milagrosa que hizo Jesús después de volver a Galilea desde Judea.
