约翰福音 4
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
耶稣与撒马利亚妇人谈道
4 主知道法利赛人听见他收门徒施洗比约翰还多 2 (其实不是耶稣亲自施洗,乃是他的门徒施洗), 3 他就离了犹太,又往加利利去。 4 必须经过撒马利亚, 5 于是到了撒马利亚的一座城,名叫叙加,靠近雅各给他儿子约瑟的那块地。 6 在那里有雅各井。耶稣因走路困乏,就坐在井旁。那时约有午正。 7 有一个撒马利亚的妇人来打水,耶稣对她说:“请你给我水喝。” 8 那时门徒进城买食物去了。 9 撒马利亚的妇人对他说:“你既是犹太人,怎么向我一个撒马利亚妇人要水喝呢?”(原来犹太人和撒马利亚人没有来往。) 10 耶稣回答说:“你若知道神的恩赐和对你说‘给我水喝’的是谁,你必早求他,他也必早给了你活水。” 11 妇人说:“先生,没有打水的器具,井又深,你从哪里得活水呢? 12 我们的祖宗雅各将这井留给我们,他自己和儿子并牲畜也都喝这井里的水,难道你比他还大吗?”
喝主所赐之水永远不渴
13 耶稣回答说:“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头成为泉源,直涌到永生。” 15 妇人说:“先生,请把这水赐给我,叫我不渴,也不用来这么远打水。” 16 耶稣说:“你去叫你丈夫也到这里来。” 17 妇人说:“我没有丈夫。”耶稣说:“你说没有丈夫是不错的。 18 你已经有五个丈夫,你现在有的并不是你的丈夫。你这话是真的。” 19 妇人说:“先生,我看出你是先知。 20 我们的祖宗在这山上礼拜,你们倒说,应当礼拜的地方是在耶路撒冷。”
须用心灵诚实拜父
21 耶稣说:“妇人,你当信我。时候将到,你们拜父也不在这山上,也不在耶路撒冷。 22 你们所拜的你们不知道,我们所拜的我们知道,因为救恩是从犹太人出来的。 23 时候将到,如今就是了,那真正拜父的,要用心灵和诚实拜他,因为父要这样的人拜他。 24 神是个[a]灵,所以拜他的必须用心灵和诚实拜他。” 25 妇人说:“我知道弥赛亚,就是那称为基督的要来,他来了,必将一切的事都告诉我们。” 26 耶稣说:“这和你说话的就是他。”
27 当下门徒回来,就稀奇耶稣和一个妇人说话,只是没有人说“你是要什么?”,或说“你为什么和她说话?”。 28 那妇人就留下水罐子,往城里去,对众人说: 29 “你们来看!有一个人将我素来所行的一切事都给我说出来了,莫非这就是基督吗?” 30 众人就出城,往耶稣那里去。
耶稣以遵行父意为食物
31 这其间,门徒对耶稣说:“拉比,请吃。” 32 耶稣说:“我有食物吃,是你们不知道的。” 33 门徒就彼此对问说:“莫非有人拿什么给他吃吗?” 34 耶稣说:“我的食物就是遵行差我来者的旨意,做成他的工。 35 你们岂不说,到收割的时候还有四个月吗?我告诉你们:举目向田观看!庄稼已经熟了[b],可以收割了。 36 收割的人得工价,积蓄五谷到永生,叫撒种的和收割的一同快乐。 37 俗语说:‘那人撒种,这人收割。’这话可见是真的。 38 我差你们去收你们所没有劳苦的,别人劳苦,你们享受他们所劳苦的。”
39 那城里有好些撒马利亚人信了耶稣,因为那妇人作见证说:“他将我素来所行的一切事都给我说出来了。” 40 于是撒马利亚人来见耶稣,求他在他们那里住下,他便在那里住了两天。 41 因耶稣的话,信的人就更多了, 42 便对妇人说:“现在我们信,不是因为你的话,是我们亲自听见了,知道这真是救世主。”
耶稣在本地无人尊敬
43 过了那两天,耶稣离了那地方,往加利利去。 44 因为耶稣自己作过见证说,先知在本地是没有人尊敬的。 45 到了加利利,加利利人既然看见他在耶路撒冷过节所行的一切事,就接待他,因为他们也是上去过节。
医大臣之子
46 耶稣又到了加利利的迦拿,就是他从前变水为酒的地方。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,因为他儿子快要死了。 48 耶稣就对他说:“若不看见神迹奇事,你们总是不信!” 49 那大臣说:“先生,求你趁着我的孩子还没有死就下去。” 50 耶稣对他说:“回去吧,你的儿子活了!”那人信耶稣所说的话就回去了。 51 正下去的时候,他的仆人迎见他,说他的儿子活了。 52 他就问什么时候见好的,他们说:“昨日未时热就退了。” 53 他便知道这正是耶稣对他说“你儿子活了”的时候,他自己和全家就都信了。 54 这是耶稣在加利利行的第二件神迹,是他从犹太回去以后行的。
Juan 4
Nueva Versión Internacional
Jesús y la samaritana
4 Jesús[a] se enteró de que los fariseos sabían que él estaba ganando y bautizando más discípulos que Juan 2 (aunque en realidad no era Jesús quien bautizaba, sino sus discípulos). 3 Por eso se fue de Judea y volvió otra vez a Galilea. 4 Como tenía que pasar por Samaria, 5 llegó a un pueblo samaritano llamado Sicar, cerca del terreno que Jacob había dado a su hijo José. 6 Allí estaba el pozo de Jacob. Jesús, fatigado del camino, se sentó junto al pozo. Era cerca del mediodía.[b] 7 En eso, una mujer de Samaria llegó a sacar agua y Jesús le dijo:
—Dame un poco de agua.
8 Sus discípulos habían ido al pueblo a comprar comida.
9 Entonces, como los judíos no se relacionaban con los samaritanos, la mujer respondió:
—¿Cómo se te ocurre pedirme agua, si tú eres judío y yo soy samaritana?
10 Jesús contestó:
—Si supieras lo que Dios puede dar y conocieras al que te está pidiendo agua —contestó Jesús—, tú le habrías pedido a él y él te habría dado agua viva.
11 La mujer dijo:
—Señor, ni siquiera tienes con qué sacar agua y el pozo es muy hondo; ¿de dónde, pues, vas a sacar esa agua viva? 12 ¿Acaso eres tú superior a nuestro padre Jacob que nos dejó este pozo, del cual bebieron él, sus hijos y su ganado?
13 —Todo el que beba de esta agua volverá a tener sed —respondió Jesús—, 14 pero el que beba del agua que yo le daré no volverá a tener sed jamás, sino que dentro de él esa agua se convertirá en un manantial del que brotará vida eterna.
15 —Señor —dijo la mujer—, dame de esa agua para que no vuelva a tener sed ni siga viniendo aquí a sacarla.
16 —Ve a llamar a tu esposo y vuelve acá —dijo Jesús.
17 —No tengo esposo —respondió ella.
Jesús le dijo:
—Bien has dicho que no tienes esposo. 18 Es cierto que has tenido cinco y el que ahora tienes no es tu esposo. En esto has dicho la verdad.
19 La mujer dijo:
—Señor, me doy cuenta de que tú eres profeta. 20 Nuestros antepasados adoraron en este monte, pero ustedes los judíos dicen que el lugar donde debemos adorar está en Jerusalén.
21 Jesús contestó:
—Créeme, mujer, que se acerca la hora en que ni en este monte ni en Jerusalén adorarán ustedes al Padre. 22 Ahora ustedes adoran lo que no conocen; nosotros adoramos lo que conocemos, porque la salvación proviene de los judíos. 23 Pero se acerca la hora, y ha llegado ya, en que los verdaderos adoradores rendirán culto al Padre en espíritu y en verdad,[c] porque así quiere el Padre que sean los que le adoren. 24 Dios es espíritu y quienes lo adoran deben hacerlo en espíritu y en verdad.
25 —Sé que viene el Mesías, al que llaman el Cristo —respondió la mujer—. Cuando él venga nos explicará todas las cosas.
26 —Ese soy yo, el que habla contigo —le dijo Jesús.
Los discípulos vuelven a reunirse con Jesús
27 En esto llegaron sus discípulos y se sorprendieron de verlo hablando con una mujer, aunque ninguno preguntó: «¿Qué pretendes?», o: «¿De qué hablas con ella?».
28 La mujer dejó su cántaro, volvió al pueblo y decía a la gente:
29 —Vengan a ver a un hombre que me ha dicho todo lo que he hecho. ¿No será este el Cristo?
30 Salieron del pueblo y fueron a ver a Jesús. 31 Mientras tanto, sus discípulos le insistían:
—Rabí, come algo.
32 —Yo tengo un alimento que ustedes no conocen —respondió él.
33 «¿Le habrán traído algo de comer?», comentaban entre sí los discípulos.
34 —Mi alimento es hacer la voluntad del que me envió y terminar su obra —dijo Jesús—. 35 ¿No dicen ustedes: “Todavía faltan cuatro meses para la cosecha”? Yo les digo: ¡Abran los ojos y miren los campos sembrados! Ya la cosecha está madura; 36 ya mismo el segador recibe su salario y recoge el fruto para vida eterna. Ahora, tanto el sembrador como el segador se alegran juntos. 37 Porque como ciertamente dice el refrán: “Uno es el que siembra y otro el que cosecha”. 38 Yo los he enviado a ustedes a cosechar lo que no les costó ningún trabajo. Otros se han fatigado trabajando y ustedes han cosechado el fruto de ese trabajo.
39 Muchos de los samaritanos que vivían en aquel pueblo creyeron en él por el testimonio que daba la mujer: «Me ha dicho todo lo que he hecho». 40 Así que cuando los samaritanos fueron a su encuentro le insistieron en que se quedara con ellos. Jesús permaneció allí dos días 41 y muchos más llegaron a creer por lo que él mismo decía.
42 —Ya no creemos solo por lo que tú dijiste —decían a la mujer—; ahora lo hemos oído nosotros mismos y sabemos que verdaderamente este es el Salvador del mundo.
Jesús sana al hijo de un funcionario
43 Después de esos dos días Jesús salió de allí rumbo a Galilea 44 (pues, como él mismo había dicho, a ningún profeta se le honra en su propia tierra). 45 Cuando llegó a Galilea, fue bien recibido por los galileos, pues estos habían visto personalmente todo lo que había hecho en Jerusalén durante la fiesta de la Pascua, ya que ellos habían estado también allí.
46 Y volvió otra vez Jesús a Caná de Galilea, donde había convertido el agua en vino. Había allí un funcionario real, cuyo hijo estaba enfermo en Capernaúm. 47 Cuando este hombre se enteró de que Jesús había llegado de Judea a Galilea, fue a su encuentro y le suplicó que bajara a sanar a su hijo, pues estaba a punto de morir.
48 —Ustedes nunca van a creer si no ven señales y prodigios —le dijo Jesús.
49 —Señor —rogó el funcionario—, baja antes de que se muera mi hijo.
50 —Vuelve a casa que tu hijo vive —dijo Jesús.
El hombre creyó lo que Jesús dijo y se fue. 51 Cuando se dirigía a su casa, sus siervos salieron a su encuentro y le dieron la noticia de que su hijo estaba vivo. 52 Cuando preguntó a qué hora había comenzado su hijo a sentirse mejor, contestaron:
—Ayer a la una de la tarde[d] se le quitó la fiebre.
53 Entonces el padre se dio cuenta de que precisamente a esa hora Jesús le había dicho: «Tu hijo vive». Así que él y toda su familia creyeron.
54 Esta fue la segunda señal milagrosa que Jesús hizo después de que volvió de Judea a Galilea.
John 4
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Jesus and the Samaritan Woman
4 When Jesus[a] knew that the Pharisees(A) heard He was making(B) and baptizing more disciples than John(C) 2 (though Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples were), 3 He left Judea(D) and went again to Galilee.(E) 4 He had to travel through Samaria,(F) 5 so He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar near the property[b] that Jacob(G) had given his son Joseph.(H) 6 Jacob’s well(I) was there, and Jesus, worn out from His journey, sat down at the well. It was about six in the evening.[c]
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water.(J)
“Give Me a drink,” Jesus said to her, 8 for His disciples had gone into town to buy food.
9 “How is it that You, a Jew,(K) ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan(L) woman?” she asked Him. For Jews do not associate with[d] Samaritans.[e]
10 Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God,(M) and who is saying to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would ask Him, and He would give you living water.”(N)
11 “Sir,”(O) said the woman, “You don’t even have a bucket, and the well is deep. So where do You get this ‘living water’? 12 You aren’t greater than our father Jacob,(P) are You? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and livestock.”
13 Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks from this water will get thirsty again. 14 But whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never get thirsty again—ever!(Q) In fact, the water I will give him will become a well[f](R) of water springing up within him for eternal life.”(S)
15 “Sir,” the woman said to Him, “give me this water so I won’t get thirsty and come here to draw water.”
16 “Go call your husband,” He told her, “and come back here.”
17 “I don’t have a husband,” she answered.
“You have correctly said, ‘I don’t have a husband,’” Jesus said. 18 “For you’ve had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.”
19 “Sir,” the woman replied, “I see that You are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain,[g](T) yet you Jews say that the place to worship is in Jerusalem.”(U)
21 Jesus told her, “Believe Me, woman, an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans[h] worship what you do not know. We worship what we do know, because salvation is from the Jews.(V) 23 But an hour is coming, and is now here,(W) when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. Yes, the Father wants such people to worship Him. 24 God is spirit,(X) and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”(Y)
25 The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah[i](Z) is coming” (who is called Christ(AA)). “When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”
26 “I am He,”(AB) Jesus told her, “the One speaking to you.”
The Ripened Harvest
27 Just then His disciples arrived, and they were amazed that He was talking with a woman. Yet no one said, “What do You want?” or “Why are You talking with her?”
28 Then the woman left her water jar, went into town, and told the men, 29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did! Could this be the Messiah?”(AC) 30 They left the town and made their way to Him.(AD)
31 In the meantime the disciples kept urging Him, “Rabbi,(AE) eat something.”
32 But He said, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
33 The disciples said to one another, “Could someone have brought Him something to eat?”
34 “My food is to do the will of Him(AF) who sent Me(AG) and to finish His work,”(AH) Jesus told them. 35 “Don’t you say, ‘There are still four more months, then comes the harvest’? Listen to what I’m telling you: Open[j] your eyes and look at the fields, for they are ready[k] for harvest. 36 The reaper is already receiving pay and gathering fruit for eternal life,(AI) so the sower and reaper can rejoice together. 37 For in this case the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’(AJ) 38 I sent you to reap what you didn’t labor for; others have labored, and you have benefited from[l] their labor.”
The Savior of the World
39 Now many Samaritans(AK) from that town believed in Him because of what the woman said[m] when she testified,(AL) “He told me everything I ever did.” 40 Therefore, when the Samaritans came to Him,(AM) they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed there two days. 41 Many more believed because of what He said.[n] 42 And they told the woman, “We no longer believe because of what you said, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this really is the Savior(AN) of the world.”[o]
A Galilean Welcome
43 After two days He left there for Galilee.(AO) 44 Jesus Himself testified(AP) that a prophet has no honor in his own country.(AQ) 45 When(AR) they entered Galilee, the Galileans(AS) welcomed Him because they had seen everything He did in Jerusalem(AT) during the festival.(AU) For they also had gone to the festival.
The Second Sign: Healing an Official’s Son
46 Then He went again to Cana(AV) of Galilee, where He had turned the water into wine. There was a certain royal official whose son was ill at Capernaum.(AW) 47 When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea(AX) into Galilee, he went to Him and pleaded with Him to come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.
48 Jesus told him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders,(AY) you will not believe.”(AZ)
49 “Sir,”(BA) the official said to Him, “come down before my boy dies!”
50 “Go,” Jesus told him, “your son will live.” The man believed what[p] Jesus said to him and departed.
51 While he was still going down, his slaves met him saying that his boy was alive. 52 He asked them at what time he got better. “Yesterday at seven in the morning[q] the fever left him,” they answered. 53 The father(BB) realized this was the very hour at which Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” Then he himself believed, along with his whole household.
54 This, therefore, was the second sign(BC) Jesus performed after He came from Judea to Galilee.(BD)

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.
