Ang Salita ng Diyos
Nakipag-usap si Jesus sa Babaeng Taga-Samaria
4 Nalaman ng Panginoon na narinig ng mga Fariseo ang ginagawa ni Jesus. Narinig nila na siya ay nagkaroon ng higit na maraming alagad kaysa kay Juan at binawtismuhan niya sila.
2 Bagamat, hindi si Jesus ang siyang nagbabawtismo, kundi ang kaniyang mga alagad. 3 Dahil dito, umalis siya sa Judea at pumunta muli sa Galilea.
4 Kinakailangang dumaan siya sa Samaria. 5 Pumunta nga siya sa Sicar na isang lungsod ng Samaria. Ito ay malapit sa lupaing ibinigay ni Jacob sa kaniyang anak na si Jose. 6 Naroroon ang bukal ni Jacob. Dahilnapagod si Jesus sa paglalakbay kaya umupo siya sa tabi ng balon. Noon ay mag-iikaanim na ang oras ng araw.
7 Dumating ang isang babaeng taga-Samaria upang sumalok ng tubig. Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya: Bigyan mo ako ng maiinom. 8 Ang kaniyang mga alagad ay pumunta na sa lungsod upang bumili ng pagkain.
9 Sinabi sa kaniya ng babaeng taga-Samaria: Bakit ka humihingi sa akin ng maiinom? Ikaw ay isang Judio samantalang ako ay isang babaeng taga-Samaria sapagkat ang mga Judio ay hindi nakikipag-ugnayan sa mga taga-Samaria.
10 Sumagot si Jesus at sinabi sa kaniya: Kung alam mo ang kaloob ng Diyos at kung sino siya na nagsasabi sa iyo: Bigyan mo ako ng maiinom, ay hihingi ka sa kaniya. At ibibigay niya sa iyo ang tubig na buhay.
11 Sinabi ng babae sa kaniya: Ginoo, wala kang panalok at malalim ang balon. Saan magmumula ang iyong tubig na buhay? 12 Mas dakila ka ba sa aming amang si Jacob? Siya ang nagbigay sa amin ng balon. Siya ay uminom dito, gayundin ang kaniyang mga anak at ang kaniyang mga hayop.
13 Sumagot si Jesus at sinabi sa kaniya: Ang bawat isang uminom ng tubig na ito ay muling mauuhaw. 14 Ang sinumang uminom ng tubig na ibibigay ko ay hindi na mauuhaw magpakailanman. Ang tubig na aking ibibigay sa kaniya ay magiging balon ng tubig na mapapasa kaniya. Ito ay bubukal sa buhay na walang hanggan.
15 Sinabi ng babae sa kaniya: Ginoo, bigyan mo ako ng tubig na ito upang hindi na ako mauhaw ni pumunta rito upang sumalok.
16 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya: Humayo ka, tawagin mo ang iyong asawa at pumarito kayo.
17 Sumagot ang babae at sinabi: Wala akong asawa.
Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya: Mabuti ang sinabi mong wala kang asawa.
18 Ito ay sapagkat nagkaroon ka na ng limang asawa at ang kinakasama mo ngayon ay hindi mo asawa. Totoo ang iyong sinabi.
19 Sinabi ng babae sa kaniya: Ginoo, sa pakiwari ko ikaw ay isang propeta. 20 Sa bundok na ito sumamba ang aming mga ninuno. Sinasabi ninyo na ang pook na dapat sumamba ay sa Jerusalem.
21 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya: Ginang, maniwala ka sa akin. Darating ang oras na sasambahin ninyo ang Ama hindi sa bundok na ito, ni sa Jerusalem. 22 Hindi ninyo nakikilala ang sinasamba ninyo. Kilala namin ang aming sinasamba sapagkat ang kaligtasan ay sa mga Judio. 23 Darating ang oras at ngayon na nga, na ang mga tunay na mananamba ay sasamba sa Ama, sa espiritu at sa katotohanan sapagkat hinahanap ng Ama ang mga gayong sumasamba sa kaniya. 24 Ang Diyos ay Espiritu. Sila na sumasamba sa kaniya ay dapat sumamba sa espiritu at sa katotohanan.
25 Sinabi ng babae sa kaniya: Alam ko na ang Mesiyas na tinatawag na Cristo ay darating. Sa kaniyang pagdating ay sasabihin niya sa amin ang lahat ng mga bagay.
26 Sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus: Ako iyon, ako na nagsasalita sa iyo.
Ang mga Alagad ay Muling Sumama kay Jesus
27 Nang sandaling iyon ay dumating ang kaniyang mga alagad. Sila ay namangha na siya ay nakikipag-usap sa isang babae. Gayunman walang isa mang nagtanong: Ano ang iyong hinahanap o bakit ka nakikipag-usap sa kaniya?
28 Iniwan nga ng babae ang kaniyang banga at pumunta sa lungsod. Sinabi niya sa mga lalaki: 29 Halikayo, tingnan ninyo ang isang lalaki na nagsabi sa akin ng lahat ng mga bagay na aking ginawa. Hindi kaya ito na ang Mesiyas? 30 Lumabas nga sila sa lungsod at pumunta kay Jesus.
31 Samantala, ipinakikiusap sa kaniya ng mga alagad na nagsasabi: Guro, kumain ka.
32 Sinabi niya sa kanila: Mayroon akong kakaining pagkain na hindi ninyo alam.
33 Sinabi ng mga alagad sa isa’t isa: May nagdala ba sa kaniya ng makakain?
34 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila: Ang aking pagkain ay ang gawin ang kalooban ng nagsugo sa akin at tapusin ang kaniyang gawain. 35 Hindi ba sinasabi ninyo: Apat na buwan pa bago dumating ang tag-ani? Narito, sinasabi ko sa inyo: Itaas ninyo ang inyong paningin at tingnan ang mga bukid. Ito ay hinog na para anihin. 36 Ang nag-aani ay tumatanggap ng upa. Siya ay nag-iipon ng bunga patungo sa buhay na walang hanggan. Ito ay upang ang naghahasik at ang nag-aani ay kapwa magkasamang magalak. 37 Sa gayong paraan, totoo ang kasabihan: Iba ang naghahasik at iba ang nag-aani. 38 Sinugo ko kayo upang mag-ani ng hindi ninyo pinagpaguran. Ibang tao ang nagpagod at kayo ang nakinabang sa kanilang pinagpaguran.
Maraming Taga-Samaria ang Sumampalataya
39 Marami sa mga taga-Samaria sa lungsod na iyon ang sumampalataya kay Jesus dahil sa salita ng babaeng nagpatotoo: Sinabi niya sa akin ang lahat ng mga bagay na aking ginawa.
40 Kaya nga, nang pumunta kay Jesus ang mga lalaking taga-Samaria ay hiniling nilang siya ay manatili na kasama nila. At siya ay nanatili roon ng dalawang araw. 41 Marami pa ang mga nagsisampalataya dahil sa kaniyang salita.
42 Sinabi nila sa babae: Sumasampalataya kami ngayon hindi na dahil sa sinabi mo. Kami ang nakarinig at aming nalaman na ito na nga ang Mesiyas. Alam namin na totoong siya ang Tagapagligtas ng sanlibutan.
Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Anak ng Pinuno
43 Pagkaraan ng dalawang araw na iyon, umalis siya roon at pumunta sa Galilea.
44 Ito ay sapagkat si Jesus ang siyang nagpatotoo: Ang isang propeta ay walang karangalan sa sarili niyang bayan. 45 Kaya nang siya ay dumating sa Galilea, tinanggap siya ng mga taga-Galilea na pumunta rin sa kapistahan. Ito ay sapagkat nakita nila ang lahat ng mga bagay na ginawa niya sa Jerusalem sa panahon ng kapistahan.
46 Pumunta ngang muli si Jesus sa Cana na nasa Galilea. Ito ang pook na kung saan ginawa niyang alak ang tubig. Naroroon ang isang opisyal ng hari na ang kaniyang anak na lalaki, na nasa Capernaum, ay maysakit. 47 Narinig ng opisyal ng hari na si Jesus ay dumating sa Galilea mula sa Judea. Pagkarinig niya, pumunta siya kay Jesus at hiniling na siya ay lumusong at pagalingin ang kaniyang anak na lalaki sapagkat ang kaniyang anak ay mamamatay na.
48 Sinabi nga sa kaniya ni Jesus: Malibang makakita kayo ng mga tanda at mga kamangha-manghang gawa, kailanman ay hindi kayo sasampalataya.
49 Sinabi sa kaniya ng opisyal ng hari: Ginoo, lumusong ka bago mamatay ang aking maliit na anak.
50 Sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus: Yumaon ka, buhay ang anak mong lalaki.
Sinampalatayanan ng lalaki ang salitang sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya at siya ay umalis.
51 Nang siya ay lumulusong na, sinalubong siya ng kaniyang mga alipin. Kanilang iniulat na buhay ang kaniyang anak. 52 Tinanong niya sila kung anong oras bumuti ang kaniyang anak. Kanilang sinabi sa kaniya: Kahapon nang ikapitong oras ng araw nawala ang kaniyang lagnat.
53 Nalaman nga ng ama na sa ganoong oras sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya: Ang iyong anak na lalaki ay buhay. Siya ay sumampalataya pati na ang kaniyang buong sambahayan.
54 Ito ang ikalawang tanda na ginawa ni Jesus sa kaniyang pagdating sa Galilea mula sa Judea.

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.

Chapter 4
1 [a]Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John 2 (although Jesus himself was not baptizing, just his disciples),[b] 3 he left Judea and returned to Galilee.
The Samaritan Woman. 4 He had to[c] pass through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar,[d] near the plot of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.(A) 6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus, tired from his journey, sat down there at the well. It was about noon.
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.” 8 His disciples had gone into the town to buy food. 9 [e]The Samaritan woman said to him, “How can you, a Jew, ask me, a Samaritan woman, for a drink?”(B) (For Jews use nothing in common with Samaritans.) 10 [f]Jesus answered and said to her,(C) “If you knew the gift of God and who is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” 11 [The woman] said to him, “Sir,[g] you do not even have a bucket and the well is deep; where then can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself with his children and his flocks?”(D) 13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again; 14 but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst; the water I shall give will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”(E) 15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Go call your husband and come back.” 17 The woman answered and said to him, “I do not have a husband.” Jesus answered her, “You are right in saying, ‘I do not have a husband.’ 18 For you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband. What you have said is true.”(F) 19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I can see that you are a prophet.(G) 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain;[h] but you people say that the place to worship is in Jerusalem.”(H) 21 Jesus said to her, “Believe me, woman, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You people worship what you do not understand; we worship what we understand, because salvation is from the Jews.(I) 23 But the hour is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and truth;[i] and indeed the Father seeks such people to worship him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship him must worship in Spirit and truth.”(J) 25 [j]The woman said to him, “I know that the Messiah is coming,(K) the one called the Anointed; when he comes, he will tell us everything.” 26 Jesus said to her, “I am he,[k] the one who is speaking with you.”(L)
27 At that moment his disciples returned, and were amazed that he was talking with a woman,[l] but still no one said, “What are you looking for?” or “Why are you talking with her?” 28 The woman left her water jar and went into the town and said to the people, 29 “Come see a man who told me everything I have done. Could he possibly be the Messiah?” 30 They went out of the town and came to him. 31 Meanwhile, the disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat.” 32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.” 33 So the disciples said to one another, “Could someone have brought him something to eat?” 34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of the one who sent me and to finish his work.(M) 35 Do you not say, ‘In four months[m] the harvest will be here’? I tell you, look up and see the fields ripe for the harvest.(N) 36 The reaper is already[n] receiving his payment and gathering crops for eternal life, so that the sower and reaper can rejoice together.(O) 37 For here the saying is verified that ‘One sows and another reaps.’(P) 38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for; others have done the work, and you are sharing the fruits of their work.”
39 Many of the Samaritans of that town began to believe in him because of the word of the woman[o] who testified, “He told me everything I have done.” 40 When the Samaritans came to him, they invited him to stay with them; and he stayed there two days. 41 Many more began to believe in him because of his word, 42 and they said to the woman, “We no longer believe because of your word; for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is truly the savior of the world.”(Q)
Return to Galilee. 43 [p]After the two days, he left there for Galilee. 44 [q](R)For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his native place. 45 When he came into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, since they had seen all he had done in Jerusalem at the feast; for they themselves had gone to the feast.
Second Sign at Cana.[r] 46 (S)Then he returned to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. Now there was a royal official whose son was ill in Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, who was near death. 48 Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”(T) 49 The royal official said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.” 50 Jesus said to him, “You may go; your son will live.” The man believed what Jesus said to him and left.(U) 51 While he was on his way back, his slaves met him and told him that his boy would live. 52 He asked them when he began to recover. They told him, “The fever left him yesterday, about one in the afternoon.” 53 The father realized that just at that time Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live,” and he and his whole household came to believe. 54 [Now] this was the second sign Jesus did when he came to Galilee from Judea.(V)
Footnotes
- 4:1–42 Jesus in Samaria. The self-revelation of Jesus continues with his second discourse, on his mission to “half-Jews.” It continues the theme of replacement, here with regard to cult (Jn 4:21). Water (Jn 4:7–15) serves as a symbol (as at Cana and in the Nicodemus episode).
- 4:2 An editorial refinement of Jn 3:22, perhaps directed against followers of John the Baptist who claimed that Jesus imitated him.
- 4:4 He had to: a theological necessity; geographically, Jews often bypassed Samaria by taking a route across the Jordan.
- 4:5 Sychar: Jerome identifies this with Shechem, a reading found in Syriac manuscripts.
- 4:9 Samaritan women were regarded by Jews as ritually impure, and therefore Jews were forbidden to drink from any vessel they had handled.
- 4:10 Living water: the water of life, i.e., the revelation that Jesus brings; the woman thinks of “flowing water,” so much more desirable than stagnant well water. On John’s device of such misunderstanding, cf. note on Jn 3:3.
- 4:11 Sir: the Greek kyrios means “master” or “lord,” as a respectful mode of address for a human being or a deity; cf. Jn 4:19. It is also the word used in the Septuagint for the Hebrew ’adônai, substituted for the tetragrammaton YHWH.
- 4:20 This mountain: Gerizim, on which a temple was erected in the fourth century B.C. by Samaritans to rival Mount Zion in Jerusalem; cf. Dt 27:4 (Mount Ebal = the Jews’ term for Gerizim).
- 4:23 In Spirit and truth: not a reference to an interior worship within one’s own spirit. The Spirit is the spirit given by God that reveals truth and enables one to worship God appropriately (Jn 14:16–17). Cf. “born of water and Spirit” (Jn 3:5).
- 4:25 The expectations of the Samaritans are expressed here in Jewish terminology. They did not expect a messianic king of the house of David but a prophet like Moses (Dt 18:15).
- 4:26 I am he: it could also be translated “I am,” an Old Testament self-designation of Yahweh (Is 43:3, etc.); cf. Jn 6:20; 8:24, 28, 58; 13:19; 18:5–6, 8. See note on Mk 6:50.
- 4:27 Talking with a woman: a religious and social restriction that Jesus is pictured treating as unimportant.
- 4:35 ‘In four months… ’: probably a proverb; cf. Mt 9:37–38.
- 4:36 Already: this word may go with the preceding verse rather than with Jn 4:36.
- 4:39 The woman is presented as a missionary, described in virtually the same words as the disciples are in Jesus’ prayer (Jn 17:20).
- 4:43–54 Jesus’ arrival in Cana in Galilee; the second sign. This section introduces another theme, that of the life-giving word of Jesus. It is explicitly linked to the first sign (Jn 2:11). The royal official believes (Jn 4:50). The natural life given his son is a sign of eternal life.
- 4:44 Probably a reminiscence of a tradition as in Mk 6:4. Cf. Gospel of Thomas 31: “No prophet is acceptable in his village, no physician heals those who know him.”
- 4:46–54 The story of the cure of the royal official’s son may be a third version of the cure of the centurion’s son (Mt 8:5–13) or servant (Lk 7:1–10). Cf. also Mt 15:21–28; Mk 7:24–30.

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.
