约翰福音 4
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
生命的活水
4 主知道法利賽人聽見他收門徒和施洗比約翰更多（ 2 其實不是耶穌親自施洗，而是他的門徒施洗）， 3 就離開了猶太，再往加利利去。 4 他必須經過撒瑪利亞。 5 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。 6 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。
7 有一個撒瑪利亞婦人來打水。耶穌對她說：“請給我水喝。” 8 那時，他的門徒都進城買食物去了。 9 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。
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。
John 4
New American Standard Bible
Jesus Goes to Galilee
4 So then, when (A)the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that [a]He was making and (B)baptizing more disciples than John 2 (although (C)Jesus Himself was not baptizing; rather, His (D)disciples were), 3 He left (E)Judea and went away (F)again to Galilee. 4 And He had to pass through (G)Samaria. 5 So He *came to a city of (H)Samaria called Sychar, near (I)the parcel of land that (J)Jacob gave to his son Joseph; 6 and Jacob’s well was there. So Jesus, tired from His journey, was just sitting by the well. It was about [b]the sixth hour.
The Woman of Samaria
7 A woman of Samaria *came to draw water. Jesus *said to her, “Give Me a drink.” 8 For His (K)disciples had gone away to (L)the city to buy food. 9 So the (M)Samaritan woman *said to Him, “How is it that You, though You are a Jew, are asking me for a drink, though I am a Samaritan woman?” (For (N)Jews do not associate with Samaritans.) 10 Jesus replied to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you (O)living water.” 11 She *said to Him, “[c]Sir, You have no bucket and the well is deep; where then do You get this (P)living water? 12 You are not greater than our father Jacob, are You, who (Q)gave us the well and drank of it himself, and his sons and his cattle?” 13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again; 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him (R)shall never be thirsty; but the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up to (S)eternal life.”
15 The woman *said to Him, “[d]Sir, (T)give me this water so that I will not be thirsty, nor come all the way here to draw water.” 16 He *said to her, “Go, call your husband and come here.” 17 The woman answered and said to Him, “I have no husband.” Jesus *said to her, “You have correctly said, ‘I have no husband’; 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; this which you have said is true.” 19 The woman *said to Him, “[e]Sir, I perceive that You are (U)a prophet. 20 (V)Our fathers worshiped on (W)this mountain, and yet you Jews say that (X)in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship.” 21 Jesus *said to her, “Believe Me, woman, that [f](Y)a time is coming when you will worship the Father (Z)neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 (AA)You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, because (AB)salvation is from the Jews. 23 But [g](AC)a time is coming, and [h]even now has arrived, when the true worshipers will worship the Father (AD)in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be [i]His worshipers. 24 God is [j]spirit, and those who worship Him must worship (AE)in spirit and truth.” 25 The woman *said to Him, “I know that (AF)Messiah is coming ((AG)He who is called Christ); when that One comes, He will declare all things to us.” 26 Jesus *said to her, “(AH)I am He, the One speaking to you.”
27 And at this point His (AI)disciples came, and they were amazed that He had been speaking with a woman, yet no one said, “What are You seeking?” or, “Why are You speaking with her?” 28 So the woman left her waterpot and went into the city, and *said to the people, 29 “Come, see a Man (AJ)who told me all the things that I have done; (AK)this is not the [k]Christ, is He?” 30 They left the city and were coming to Him.
31 Meanwhile the disciples were urging Him, saying, “(AL)Rabbi, eat something.” 32 But He said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.” 33 So the (AM)disciples were saying to one another, “No one brought Him anything to eat, did he?” 34 Jesus *said to them, “My food is to (AN)do the will of Him who sent Me, and to (AO)accomplish His work. 35 Do you not say, ‘There are still four months, and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I tell you, raise your eyes and observe the fields, that they are white (AP)for harvest. 36 Already the one who reaps is receiving (AQ)wages and is gathering (AR)fruit for (AS)eternal life, so that the one who sows and the one who reaps may rejoice together. 37 For in this case the saying is true: ‘(AT)One sows and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have [l]come into their labor.”
The Samaritans
39 Now from (AU)that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, “(AV)He told me all the things that I have done.” 40 So when the Samaritans came to [m]Jesus, they were asking Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. 41 Many more believed because of His word; 42 and they were saying to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this One truly is (AW)the Savior of the world.”
43 And after (AX)the two days, He departed from there for Galilee. 44 For Jesus Himself testified that (AY)a prophet has no honor in his own country. 45 So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, only because (AZ)they had seen all the things that He did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they themselves also went to the feast.
Healing an Official’s Son
46 Therefore He came again to (BA)Cana of Galilee, (BB)where He had made the water into wine. And there was a royal official whose son was sick at (BC)Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Jesus had come (BD)from Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and began asking Him to come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death. 48 Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see [n](BE)signs and (BF)wonders, you simply will not believe.” 49 The royal official *said to Him, “[o]Sir, come down before my child dies.” 50 Jesus *said to him, “(BG)Go; your son [p]is alive.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went home. 51 And as he was now going down, his slaves met him, saying that his [q]son was [r]alive. 52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. Then they said to him, “Yesterday at the [s]seventh hour the fever left him.” 53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son is alive”; and he himself believed, and (BH)his entire household. 54 This is again a (BI)second [t]sign that Jesus performed when He had (BJ)come from Judea into Galilee.
