Jezi ak fanm samaritèn nan
4 Jezi te aprann Farizyen yo tande l ap fè plis disip epi l ap batize plis moun pase Janbatis. 2 Men, alaverite, se pa t Jezi ki t ap batize moun yo, se te disip li yo. 3 Li kite teritwa Jide, li tounen Galile. 4 Pou rive Galile, li te dwe travèse teritwa Samari.
5 Li rive nan yon vil nan teritwa Samari yo rele Sika ki te toupre pòsyon tè Jakòb te bay Jozèf, pitit gason l lan. 6 Se la pi Jakòb te fè fouye a te ye. Jezi te fatige poutèt wout long sa a li sot fè a, li fè yon ti chita bò kote pi a. Li te bò midi konsa. 7 Yon fanm samaritèn te vin chache dlo nan pi a, epi Jezi di l konsa: “Ban m ti gout dlo.” 8 Sa te pase pandan disip Jezi yo te antre nan vil la pou achte kèk bagay pou yo manje.
9 Fanm nan reponn: “Ou konnen ou fè m sezi lè ou mande m dlo pou w bwè! Ou se yon Jwif epi mwen se yon fanm samaritèn! Jwif pa gen okenn relasyon ak Samariten.”
10 Jezi reponn li: “Se konnen ou pa konnen sa Bondye kapab ba ou. Epi ou pa konnen ki moun mwen ye, mwen menm k ap mande w dlo a. Si ou te konnen, se ou ki t ap mande m, epi mwen ta ba ou dlo ki bay lavi a.”[a]
11 Fanm nan di li: “Mesye, pi a fon anpil epi ou pa gen veso pou tire dlo a. Kote ou ap jwenn kalite dlo sa a? 12 Èske ou pi gran pase Jakòb, gran paran nou? Se li ki te fouye pi sa a pou nou. Li te bwè ladan l, pitit li yo ansanm ak bèt li yo te bwè ladan l.”
13 Jezi reponn li: “Nenpòt moun ki bwè nan dlo sa a ap swaf ankò. 14 Men nenpòt moun ki bwè dlo mwen bay la p ap janm swaf ankò. Dlo m ap bay la va tounen yon sous dlo anndan yo. Li va ba yo lavi etènèl.”
15 Fanm nan di Jezi: “Mesye, ban m dlo sa a non. Mwen pa ta swaf ankò epi mwen pa t ap oblije retounen isit la pou chache dlo.”
16 Jezi di li: “Ale chache mari w mennen vini.”
17 Fanm nan reponn: “Men, mwen pa gen mari.”
Jezi di: “Ou gen rezon di ou pa gen mari. 18 Ou pase senk mari deja, epi mesye ou avè l kounye a pa mari w. Lè w di ou pa gen mari a, se verite a.”
19 Fanm nan di: “Mesye, mwen wè ou se yon pwofèt. 20 Gran paran nou yo te konn adore Bondye sou mòn sa a, men nou menm Jwif, nou di fòk se Jerizalèm pou moun adore Bondye.”
21 Jezi reponn li: “kwè m si ou vle, madanm! Lè a rive, kote se pa ni anwo mòn sa a ni Jerizalèm moun pral adore Bondye Papa a. 22 Nou menm Samariten yo, nou adore sa nou pa konnen. Nou menm Jwif, nou adore sa nou konnen, paske delivrans la soti pami Jwif yo. 23 Men, gen yon jou k ap vini, epi jou a rive deja, vrè adoratè Bondye yo pral adore Bondye Papa a anba kontwòl Sentespri a epi selon verite a. Se kalite adoratè sa yo menm Bondye Papa a ap chache pou adore l. 24 Bondye se Lespri. Konsa, moun k ap adore Li dwe adore li anba kontwòl Sentespri epi selon verite a.”
25 Fanm samaritèn nan di li: “Mwen konnen Mesi a, moun yo rele Kris la, li gen pou vini. Lè l vini, li va fè n konnen tout bagay.”
26 Alò, Jezi di l: “Mwen menm menm k ap pale avè w la, se mwen menm ki Mesi a.”
27 Menm lè a, disip yo vin rive. Yo te sezi wè Jezi t ap pale ak yon fanm. Men, pèsonn pa t oze mande li: “Ki sa ou ap chache?” ni “Pou kisa ou ap pale avè l?”
28 Alò, fanm nan kite veso li te pote pou pran dlo a, li retounen nan vil la. Li t ap mache di moun yo: 29 “Men yon nonm ki di mwen tout bagay mwen fè. Vin wè, èske se pa ta li menm ki Mesi a?” 30 Se konsa, pèp la soti lavil la epi y al wè Jezi.
31 Pandan fanm nan te nan vil la, disip Jezi yo t ap ankouraje Jezi konsa: “Mèt, manje yon bagay non!”
32 Men Jezi reponn: “Mwen gen yon manje pou m manje nou pa konnen.”
33 Disip yo t ap mande antre yo: “Èske gen yon moun ki ta gentan pote manje ba li?”
34 Jezi di: “Manje m se fè volonte moun ki voye m nan, manje m se fini travay li te ban m fè a. 35 Lè nou fè jaden, nou toujou di nan kat mwa ankò n ap gen rekòt. Men m ap di nou, leve je nou gade jaden yo. Yo gentan bon pou rekòt la. 36 Moun k ap ranmase rekòt la ap touche salè yo. Y ap rasanble fwi pou lavi etènèl. Konsa moun k ap plante a ak moun k ap ranmase rekòt la kapab rejwi ansanm. 37 Nan ka sa a, sa yo di a se vre: Youn plante, yon lòt rekòl te. 38 Mwen voye n al ranmase rekòt kote nou pa t plante. Gen lòt moun ki te plante, epi se nou menm k ap pwofite travay yo.”
39 Anpil Samariten nan vil la te kwè nan Jezi. Yo te kwè poutèt sa fanm nan te di yo sou Jezi a. Li te di yo: “Li di mwen tout sa m fè.” 40 Samariten yo ale kote Jezi. Yo mande Li rete ak yo. Konsa, Jezi te pase de jou ak yo. 41 Anpil lòt moun te kwè nan Li poutèt sa Li t ap di.
42 Moun yo di fanm nan: “Anvan, nou te kwè poutèt sa ou te di nou. Men kounye a, nou kwè paske nou tande Li ak pwòp zòrèy nou. Kounye a, nou konnen se li menm ki gen pou sove lemonn.”
Jezi geri pitit gason yon Ofisye
(Mat 8:5-13; Lik 7:1-10)
43 Apre de jou, Jezi kite zòn nan, l al nan teritwa Galile. 44 Jezi te di yon pwofèt pa gen okenn respè nan peyi li. 45 Lè l rive Galile, moun yo te byen resevwa li, paske yo te ale nan fèt Pak la, Jerizalèm, epi yo te wè tout sa Li t ap fè nan fèt la.
46 Jezi te ale Kana nan Galile ankò. Kana se kote li te fè dlo tounen diven an. Youn nan gwo ofisye gouvènman wa Ewòd yo te rete lavil Kapènawòm. Pitit gason nonm sa a te malad. 47 Nonm nan te tande Jezi soti nan teritwa Jide pou vin Galile. Konsa, li ale kote Jezi epi li mande l si l ka vini Kapènawòm pou geri pitit li a ki te prèske mouri. 48 Alò, Jezi di li: “Nou menm, tout tan nou pa wè gwo mirak ak mèvèy nou p ap janm kwè.”
49 Ofisye wa a di: “Mèt, vini vit non, anvan pitit gason m nan mouri.”
50 Jezi reponn li: “Ou mèt ale, pitit ou a geri.”
Nonm nan te kwè sa Jezi te di l la, li retounen lakay li. 51 Etan l te sou wout ap retounen lakay li, sèvitè l yo vin rankontre l. Yo di li: “Pitit ou a geri.”
52 Ofisye a mande: “Bò ki lè kon sa li te kòmanse fè mye?”
Yo reponn li: “Ayè, a inè apremidi, lafyèv la te tonbe.”
53 Papa pitit la te konnen se te nan menm lè sa a Jezi te di l: “Pitit ou a geri.” Se kon sa li menm ak tout moun lakay li te kwè nan Jezi.
54 Se te dezyèm mirak Jezi te fè apre li te fin soti Jide rive Galile.

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)

- 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.
