Johannes 4
Swedish New Living Bible (Nya Levande Bibeln)
Jesus och kvinnan vid Sykars brunn
4 När Jesus fick veta att fariseerna hade hört att flera kom till honom än till Johannes för att döpas och bli lärjungar -
2 Jesus döpte dem inte själv utan lärjungarna gjorde det -
3 lämnade han Judeen och återvände till Galileen.
4 På vägen dit var han tvungen att gå genom Samarien.
5-6 När han mitt på dagen närmade sig staden Sykar kom han till Jakobs brunn, som ligger på den mark som Jakob gav sin son Josef. Jesus var trött av den långa vandringen och satte sig vid brunnen.
7 Efter en stund kom en samarisk kvinna för att hämta vatten och Jesus bad henne att få lite att dricka.
8 Han var ensam just då för lärjungarna hade gått in till staden för att köpa mat.
9 Hon blev förvånad över att en jude bad en samarisk kvinna som henne om vatten. Judarna brukade inte ens vilja ha något med dem att göra.
10 Han svarade: Om du bara visste vilken underbar gåva Gud har i beredskap åt dig, och om du anade vem jag är, skulle du i stället be mig om det vatten som leder till liv.
11 Men du har ju varken rep eller hink, sa hon, och det här är en mycket djup brunn. Varifrån ska du få det vattnet?
12 Du är väl inte större än vår förfader Jakob? Kan du ge mig bättre vatten än det som han och hans söner och boskap tyckte så mycket om?
13 Jesus svarade att de som dricker av det vattnet snart blir törstiga igen.
14 Men det vatten jag ger dem, sa han, blir en ständig källa som väller fram inom dem och som alltid flödar med evigt liv.
15 Herre, sa kvinnan. Ge mig lite av det vattnet. Sedan behöver jag aldrig vara törstig mer och gå den långa vägen hit ut varje dag.
16 Gå och hämta din man, sa Jesus till henne.
17-18 Men jag är ju inte gift, svarade hon.Alldeles riktigt, sa Jesus. Du har haft fem män, och du är inte heller gift med den man som du bor ihop med nu. Du kunde inte sagt ett sannare ord.
19 Herre, sa kvinnan. Du måste vara en profet.
20 Men säg mig hur kommer det sig att ni judar påstår att Jerusalem är den enda plats där man ska fira gudstjänst, medan vi samarier menar att det ska ske här på det berg där våra förfäder firade sina gudstjänster?
21-22 ,
23-24 Jesus förklarade: Den tid kommer när människor inte längre behöver diskutera om de ska be till Fadern här på detta berg eller i Jerusalem. Det är inte var man ber som är det viktiga, utan hur man ber. Frågan är om vår bön är andlig och äkta? För Gud är Ande. Det är så Gud vill att vi ska be. Men ni samarier vet så lite om honom, ni vet inte hur ni ska be, men vi judar känner honom väl, för frälsningen kommer till världen genom judarna.
25 Kvinnan sa: Ja, jag vet att Messias ska komma en gång, den som de kallar Kristus, och när han kommer ska han förklara alltsammans för oss.
26 Då sa Jesus till henne: Det är jag som är Messias.
Jesus talar om en andlig skörd
27 Just då kom lärjungarna tillbaka. De blev förvånade när de såg att han talade med en kvinna, men ingen av dem frågade honom varför eller vad de samtalade om.
28-29 Då lämnade kvinnan sin vattenkruka vid brunnen och sprang tillbaka till staden och ropade till alla: Kom och träffa en man som har berättat för mig om allt vad jag har gjort! Jag undrar om inte han är Messias?
30 Och folk strömmade nyfikna ut från staden för att få se honom.
31 Under tiden ville lärjungarna ge Jesus någonting att äta,
32 men han tackade nej och sa: Jag har mat som ni inte känner till.
33 Lärjungarna sa då till varandra: Vem har gett honom mat?
34 Då förklarade Jesus: Min mat är att göra hans vilja som har sänt mig och att utföra hans uppdrag.
35 Tror ni inte att man börjar skörda förrän om fyra månader när sommaren är slut? Se er omkring. Stora fält är mogna och färdiga att skördas.
36 Skördearbetarna som för människor till evigt liv ska få god lön. Vilken glädje väntar inte både den som sår och den som skördar!
37 För det är sant att en sår och en annan skördar.
38 Jag sänder ut er att skörda där ni inte har sått. Andra har utfört arbetet och ni får bärga skörden.
Många samarier kommer till tro
39 Många människor i staden Sykar trodde nu att Jesus var Messias därför att kvinnan sagt: Han visste allt om mig.
40-41 När de kom till brunnen för att se honom bad de honom att stanna kvar hos dem. Det gjorde han också under två dagar, och det var tillräckligt för att ännu fler skulle komma till tro när de lyssnade på honom.
42 Sedan sa de till kvinnan: Nu tror vi därför att vi själva har hört honom, inte på grund av vad du berättade för oss. Han är verkligen världens Frälsare.
Jesus beger sig till Galileen för att predika
43-44 Två dagar senare fortsatte Jesus till Galileen. Han hade själv sagt: En profet blir hedrad överallt utom i sin egen hemtrakt.
45 Men galileerna tog emot honom med öppna armar för de hade varit i Jerusalem under påskhögtiden och sett en del av hans under.
Jesus botar en regeringstjänstemans son
46-47 Under vandringen genom Galileen kom han till staden Kana där han en gång hade förvandlat vatten till vin. En regeringstjänsteman, som bodde i staden Kafarnaum, hade en son som var svårt sjuk. När han hörde att Jesus hade kommit från Judeen och var på väg genom Galileen gick han till Kana. Där träffade han Jesus och han bad honom följa med till Kafarnaum och bota pojken som låg döende.
48 Jesus frågade: Kan ni verkligen inte tro på mig, om ni inte ständigt får se under?
49 Men mannen bad: Herre, kom med innan min pojke dör.
50 Då sa Jesus till honom: Gå hem igen. Din son är botad. Mannen trodde på vad Jesus sa och begav sig hem.
51 Medan han var på väg möttes han av några av sina tjänare med nyheten att allt var väl och att pojken hade blivit frisk.
52 Han frågade dem då när han hade börjat må bättre. De svarade: I går eftermiddag vid ettiden försvann plötsligt febern.
53 Då förstod fadern att det hänt i samma ögonblick som Jesus hade sagt till honom: Din son är botad. Och regeringstjänstemannen och hela hans familj blev övertygade om att Jesus var Messias.
54 Detta var det andra under Jesus gjorde i Galileen sedan han hade kommit dit från Judeen.
John 4
English Standard Version Anglicised
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 worshipped 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 worshippers 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 marvelled 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 labour. Others have laboured, (AW)and you have entered into their labour.”
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 Saviour (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 honour in his own home town.) 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 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[c] 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[d] 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.
Juan 4
Biblia del Jubileo
4 ¶ De manera que cuando el Señor supo cómo los fariseos habían oído que Jesús hacía discípulos y bautizaba más que Juan,
2 (aunque Jesús no bautizaba, sino sus discípulos),
3 dejó a Judea, y se fue otra vez a Galilea.
4 ¶ Y era necesario que pasará por Samaria.
5 Vino, pues, a una ciudad de Samaria que se llamaba Sicar, junto a la heredad que Jacob dio a José su hijo.
6 Y estaba allí la fuente de Jacob. Pues Jesús, cansado del camino, así se sentó a la fuente. Era como la hora sexta.
7 Vino una mujer de Samaria a sacar agua; y Jesús le dice: Dame de beber.
8 (Porque sus discípulos habían ido a la ciudad a comprar de comer.)
9 Y la mujer samaritana le dice: ¿Cómo tú, siendo judío, me pides a mí de beber, que soy mujer samaritana? Porque los judíos no se tratan con los samaritanos.
10 Respondió Jesús y le dijo: Si conocieras el don de Dios, y quién es el que te dice: Dame de beber; tú pedirías de él, y él te daría agua viva.
11 La mujer le dice: Señor, no tienes con qué sacarla, y el pozo es hondo; ¿de dónde, pues, tienes el agua viva?
12 ¿Eres tú mayor que nuestro padre Jacob, que nos dio este pozo, del cual él bebió, y sus hijos, y sus ganados?
13 Respondió Jesús y le dijo: Cualquiera que bebiere de esta agua, volverá a tener sed;
14 mas el que bebiere del agua que yo le daré, para siempre no tendrá sed; sino que el agua que yo le daré, será en él una fuente de agua que salte para vida eterna.
15 La mujer le dice: Señor, dame esta agua, para que no tenga sed, ni venga acá a sacarla.
16 Jesús le dice: Ve, llama a tu marido, y ven acá.
17 Respondió la mujer, y le dijo: No tengo marido. Le dice Jesús: Bien has dicho: No tengo marido;
18 porque cinco maridos has tenido; y el que ahora tienes no es tu marido; esto has dicho con verdad.
19 Le dice la mujer: Señor, me parece que tú eres profeta.
20 Nuestros padres adoraron en este monte, y vosotros decís que en Jerusalén es el lugar donde es necesario adorar.
21 Le dice Jesús: Mujer, créeme, que la hora viene, cuando ni en este monte, ni en Jerusalén adoraréis al Padre.
22 Vosotros adoráis lo que no sabéis; nosotros adoramos lo que sabemos; porque la salud viene de los Judíos.
23 Mas la hora viene, y ahora es, cuando los verdaderos adoradores adorarán al Padre en Espíritu y en verdad; porque también el Padre tales adoradores busca que le adoren.
24 Dios es Espíritu; y los que le adoran, en Espíritu y en verdad es necesario que adoren.
25 Le dice la mujer: Sé que el Mesías (el Ungido) ha de venir, el cual se dice el Cristo; cuando él viniere nos declarará todas las cosas.
26 Le dice Jesús: Yo Soy, que hablo contigo.
27 ¶ Y en esto vinieron sus discípulos, y se maravillaron de que hablaba con aquella mujer; mas ninguno dijo: ¿Qué preguntas? O, ¿Qué hablas con ella?
28 Entonces la mujer dejó su cántaro, y fue a la ciudad, y dijo a aquellos hombres:
29 Venid, ved un hombre que me ha dicho todo lo que he hecho; ¿si quizás es éste el Cristo?
30 Entonces salieron de la ciudad, y vinieron a él.
31 Entre tanto los discípulos le rogaban, diciendo: Rabí, come.
32 Y él les dijo: Yo tengo una comida que comer, que vosotros no sabéis.
33 Entonces los discípulos decían el uno al otro: ¿Si le habrá traído alguien de comer?
34 Les dice Jesús: Mi comida es que haga la voluntad del que me envió, y que acabe su obra.
35 ¿No decís vosotros que aún hay cuatro meses y la siega viene? He aquí os digo: Alzad vuestros ojos, y mirad el campo, porque ya está blanco para la siega.
36 Y el que siega, recibe salario, y allega fruto para vida eterna; para que el que siembra también goce, y el que siega.
37 Porque en esto es el dicho verdadero: Que uno es el que siembra, y otro es el que siega.
38 Yo os he enviado a segar lo que vosotros no labrasteis; otros labraron, y vosotros habéis entrado en sus labores.
39 Y muchos de los samaritanos de aquella ciudad creyeron en él por la palabra de la mujer, que daba testimonio, diciendo: Que me dijo todo lo que he hecho.
40 Viniendo pues los samaritanos a él, le rogaron que se quedara allí; y permaneció allí dos días.
41 Y creyeron muchos más por la palabra de él.
42 Y decían a la mujer: Ya no creemos por tu dicho; porque nosotros mismos hemos oído, y sabemos que verdaderamente éste es el Salvador del mundo, el Cristo.
43 ¶ Y dos días después, salió de allí, y se fue a Galilea.
44 Porque el mismo Jesús dio testimonio de que un profeta en su tierra no tiene honra.
45 Y cuando vino a Galilea, los galileos le recibieron, vistas todas las cosas que había hecho en Jerusalén en la Fiesta; porque también ellos habían ido a la Fiesta.
46 Vino pues Jesús otra vez a Caná de Galilea, donde había hecho el vino del agua. Y había en Capernaum uno del rey, cuyo hijo estaba enfermo.
47 Este, cuando oyó que Jesús venía de Judea a Galilea, fue a él, y le rogaba que descendiera, y sanara a su hijo, porque se comenzaba a morir.
48 Entonces Jesús le dijo: Si no viereis señales y milagros no creeréis.
49 El del rey le dijo: Señor, desciende antes que mi niño muera.
50 Le dice Jesús: Ve, tu hijo vive. Y el hombre creyó a la palabra que Jesús le dijo, y se fue.
51 Y cuando ya él descendía, los esclavos le salieron a recibir, y le dieron nuevas, diciendo: Tu hijo vive.
52 Entonces él les preguntó a qué hora comenzó a estar mejor. Y le dijeron: Ayer a la séptima le dejó la fiebre.
53 El padre entonces entendió, que aquella hora era cuando Jesús le dijo: Tu hijo vive; y creyó él y toda su casa.
54 Esta también es la segunda señal que Jesús hizo, cuando vino de Judea a Galilea.
John 4
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.
