¹⁵ a man found him wandering around in the fields and asked him, “What are you looking for?”

²² Just then Barak came by in pursuit of Sisera, and Jael^(A) went out to meet him. “Come,” she said, “I will show you the man you’re looking for.” So he went in with her, and there lay Sisera with the tent peg through his temple—dead.^(B)

¹⁵ He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?^(A) Who is it you are looking for?”

Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”

⁷ Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?”^(A)

“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.

⁴ Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him,^(A) went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”^(B)

The Disciples Rejoin Jesus

²⁷ Just then his disciples returned^(A) 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?”

³⁸ Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, “What do you want?”

They said, “Rabbi”^(A) (which means “Teacher”), “where are you staying?”

¹⁹ Elisha told them, “This is not the road and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will lead you to the man you are looking for.” And he led them to Samaria.

¹⁴ Early the next morning Abraham took some food and a skin of water and gave them to Hagar.^(A) He set them on her shoulders and then sent her off with the boy. She went on her way and wandered in the Desert of Beersheba.^(B)
