János 4
Hungarian Károli
4 Amint azért megtudta az Úr, hogy a farizeusok meghallották, hogy Jézus több tanítványt szerez és keresztel, mint János,
2 (Jóllehet Jézus maga nem keresztelt, hanem a tanítványai,)
3 Elhagyá Júdeát és elméne ismét Galileába.
4 Samárián kell vala pedig általmennie.
5 Megy vala azért Samáriának Sikár nevû városába, annak a teleknek szomszédjába, a melyet Jákób adott vala az õ fiának, Józsefnek.
6 Ott vala pedig a Jákób forrása. Jézus azért, az utazástól elfáradva, azonmód leüle a forráshoz. Mintegy hat óra vala.
7 Jöve egy samáriabeli asszony vizet meríteni; monda néki Jézus: Adj innom!
8 Az õ tanítványai ugyanis elmentek a városba, hogy ennivalót vegyenek.
9 Monda azért néki a samáriai asszony: Hogy kérhetsz inni zsidó létedre én tõlem, a ki samáriai asszony vagyok?! Mert a zsidók nem barátkoznak a samáriaiakkal.
10 Felele Jézus és monda néki: Ha ismernéd az Isten ajándékát, és [hogy] ki az, a ki ezt mondja néked: Adj innom!; te kérted volna õt, és adott volna néked élõ vizet.
11 Monda néki az asszony: Uram, nincs mivel merítened, és a kút mély: hol vennéd tehát az élõ vizet?
12 Avagy nagyobb vagy-é te a mi atyánknál, Jákóbnál, a ki nékünk adta ezt a kutat, és ebbõl ivott õ is, a fiai is és jószága is?
13 Felele Jézus és monda néki: Mindaz, a ki ebbõl a vízbõl iszik, ismét megszomjúhozik:
14 Valaki pedig abból a vízbõl iszik, a melyet én adok néki, soha örökké meg nem szomjúhozik; hanem az a víz, a melyet én adok néki, örök életre buzgó víznek kútfeje lesz õ benne.
15 Monda néki az asszony: Uram, add nékem azt a vizet, hogy meg ne szomjúhozzam, és ne jõjjek ide meríteni!
16 Monda néki Jézus: Menj el, hívd a férjedet, és jõjj ide!
17 Felele az asszony és monda: Nincs férjem. Monda néki Jézus: Jól mondád, hogy: Nincs férjem;
18 Mert öt férjed volt, és a mostani nem férjed: ezt igazán mondtad.
19 Monda néki az asszony: Uram, látom, hogy te próféta vagy.
20 A mi atyáink ezen a hegyen imádkoztak; és ti azt mondjátok, hogy Jeruzsálemben van az a hely, a hol imádkozni kell.
21 Monda néki Jézus: Asszony, hidd el nékem, hogy eljõ az óra, a mikor sem nem ezen a hegyen, sem nem Jeruzsálemben imádjátok az Atyát.
22 Ti azt imádjátok, a mit nem ismertek; mi azt imádjuk, a mit ismerünk: mert az idvesség a zsidók közül támadt.
23 De eljõ az óra, és az most vagyon, amikor az igazi imádók lélekben, és igazságban imádják az Atyát: mert az Atya is ilyeneket keres, az õ imádóiul.
24 Az Isten lélek: és a kik õt imádják, szükség, hogy lélekben és igazságban imádják.
25 Monda néki az asszony: Tudom, hogy Messiás jõ (a ki Krisztusnak mondatik); mikor az eljõ, megjelent nékünk mindent.
26 Monda néki Jézus: Én vagyok az, a ki veled beszélek.
27 Eközben megjövének az õ tanítványai; és csodálkozának, hogy asszonnyal beszélt; mindazáltal egyik sem mondá: Mit keresel? vagy: Mit beszélsz vele?
28 Ott hagyá azért az asszony a vedrét, és elméne a városba, és monda az embereknek:
29 Jertek, lássatok egy embert, a ki megmonda nékem mindent, a mit cselekedtem. Nem ez-é a Krisztus?
30 Kimenének azért a városból, és hozzá menének.
31 Aközben pedig kérék õt a tanítványok, mondván: Mester, egyél!
32 Õ pedig monda nékik: Van nékem eledelem, a mit egyem, a mit ti nem tudtok.
33 Mondának azért a tanítványok egymásnak: Hozott-é néki valaki enni?
34 Monda nékik Jézus: Az én eledelem az, hogy annak akaratját cselekedjem, a ki elküldött engem, és az õ dolgát elvégezzem.
35 Ti nem azt mondjátok-é, hogy még négy hónap és eljõ az aratás? Ímé, mondom néktek: Emeljétek fel szemeiteket, és lássátok meg a tájékokat, hogy már fehérek az aratásra.
36 És a ki arat, jutalmat nyer, és az örök életre gyümölcsöt gyûjt; hogy mind a vetõ, mind az arató együtt örvendezzen.
37 Mert ebben az a mondás igaz, hogy más a vetõ, más az arató.
38 Én annak az aratására küldtelek titeket, a mit nem ti munkáltatok; mások munkálták, és ti a mások munkájába állottatok.
39 Abból a városból pedig sokan hivének benne a Samaritánusok közül annak az asszonynak beszédéért, a ki bizonyságot tett vala, hogy: Mindent megmondott nékem, a mit cselekedtem.
40 A mint azért oda mentek hozzá a Samaritánusok, kérék õt, hogy maradjon náluk; és ott marada két napig.
41 És sokkal többen hivének a maga beszédéért,
42 És azt mondják vala az asszonynak, hogy: Nem a te beszédedért hiszünk immár: mert magunk hallottuk, és tudjuk, hogy bizonnyal ez a világ idvezítõje, a Krisztus.
43 Két nap mulva pedig kiméne onnét, és elméne Galileába.
44 Mert Jézus maga tett bizonyságot arról, hogy a prófétának nincs tisztessége a maga hazájában.
45 Mikor azért beméne Galileába, befogadták õt a Galileabeliek, mivelhogy látták vala mindazt, a mit Jeruzsálemben cselekedett az ünnepen; mert õk is elmentek vala az ünnepre.
46 Ismét a galileai Kánába méne azért Jézus, a hol a vizet borrá változtatta. És volt Kapernaumban egy királyi ember, a kinek a fia beteg vala.
47 Mikor ez meghallá, hogy Jézus Júdeából Galileába érkezett, hozzá méne és kéré õt, hogy menjen el és gyógyítsa meg az õ fiát; mert halálán vala.
48 Monda azért néki Jézus: Ha jeleket és csodákat nem láttok, nem hisztek.
49 Monda néki a királyi ember: Uram, jõjj, mielõtt a gyermekem meghal.
50 Monda néki Jézus: Menj el, a te fiad él. És hitt az ember a szónak, a mit Jézus mondott néki, és elment.
51 A mint pedig már megy vala, elébe jövének az õ szolgái, és hírt hozának néki, mondván, hogy: A te fiad él.
52 Megtudakozá azért tõlük az órát, a melyben megkönnyebbedett vala; és mondának néki: Tegnap hét órakor hagyta el õt a láz;
53 Megérté azért az atya, hogy abban az órában, a melyben azt mondá néki a Jézus, hogy: a te fiad él. És hitt õ, és az õ egész háza népe.
54 Ezt ismét második jel gyanánt tevé Jézus, mikor Júdeából Galileába ment.
John 4
New King James Version
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.
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.
