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.

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.

Jesus conversa com a mulher samaritana
4 Os fariseus ouviram dizer que Jesus estava a batizar e a fazer mais discípulos que João. 2 Embora, de facto, não era Jesus quem batizava, mas os seus discípulos. 3 Quando o Senhor constatou isso, deixou a Judeia e voltou para a província da Galileia.
4 Para isso, tinha de atravessar a Samaria. 5-6 Cerca do meio-dia, ao aproximar-se da localidade de Sicar, chegou ao poço de Jacob, no terreno que este dera a seu filho José. Cansado da longa caminhada, Jesus sentou-se junto ao poço. 7 Apareceu uma samaritana para tirar água e Jesus pediu-lhe: “Dá-me de beber.” 8 Os discípulos tinham ido à aldeia comprar comida.
9 A mulher estava admirada, pois os judeus não convivem com os samaritanos, e disse-lhe: “Como, sendo tu judeu, me pedes de beber a mim que sou samaritana?”
10 Jesus respondeu: “Se ao menos compreendesses o dom maravilhoso que Deus tem para ti e quem eu sou, serias tu a pedir-me que te desse água viva!”
11 “Mas tu não tens com que a tirar!”, tornou ela. “E o poço é fundo! Onde irias buscar essa água viva? 12 Serás maior que o nosso antepassado Jacob? Como poderás oferecer água melhor do que esta, que ele, os seus filhos e o seu gado beberam?”
13 Jesus respondeu: “As pessoas que bebem desta água depressa ficam outra vez com sede. 14 Mas a água que eu lhes der torna-se uma fonte sem fim dentro delas, dando-lhes vida eterna.”
15 “Senhor, dá-me dessa água, para não sentir mais sede e não ter de vir aqui tirar água!”
16 “Vai chamar o teu marido”, disse-lhe Jesus.
17-18 “Não tenho marido!” respondeu-lhe.
“É verdade, não tens marido. Porque tiveste cinco maridos e nem sequer estás casada com o homem com quem vives agora.”
19 “Senhor, deves ser profeta!”, exclamou ela.
20 “Mas diz-me: porque é que vocês, judeus, teimam que Jerusalém é o único sítio de adoração? Para nós, samaritanos, esse sítio é aqui no monte Gerizim, onde os nossos antepassados adoravam.”
21 Jesus esclareceu-a: “Acredita em mim, mulher. Vem o momento em que já não teremos de nos preocupar se o Pai deve ser adorado aqui ou em Jerusalém. 22 Vocês adoram o que desconhecem, ao passo que nós conhecemos, pois é através dos judeus que a salvação vem ao mundo. 23 Mas chega a hora, e é agora mesmo, em que os que verdadeiramente o adoram devem adorá-lo em espírito e verdade. É assim que o Pai quer que o adoremos. 24 Deus é espírito e os que o adoram devem adorá-lo em espírito e em verdade!”
25 A mulher disse: “Eu sei que há de vir o Messias, chamado Cristo, e que quando vier nos explicará tudo.”
26 Então Jesus disse-lhe: “Sou eu o Cristo!”
27 Nesse momento chegaram os discípulos, que ficaram espantados por encontrá-lo a falar com aquela mulher; mas ninguém lhe perguntou porquê. 28 A mulher deixou o balde junto ao poço. E voltando para a aldeia disse a toda a gente: 29 “Venham ver um homem que me disse tudo o que eu fiz! Não será ele o Cristo?” 30 Então o povo veio a correr da localidade para o ver.
31 Entretanto, os discípulos insistiam com Jesus para que comesse. 32 “Não!” disse-lhes. “Eu tenho um alimento que vocês não conhecem.” 33 E os discípulos puseram-se a perguntar uns aos outros quem lhe teria trazido comida.
34 Jesus explicou: “O meu alimento é fazer a vontade de Deus, que me enviou, e terminar a sua obra. 35 Pensam, porventura, que a ceifa só começará quando o verão acabar daqui a quatro meses? Olhem à vossa volta! Em torno de nós amadurecem vastos campos, já prontos para a ceifa. 36 Os ceifeiros recebem o seu salário e o fruto que colhem são pessoas trazidas para a vida eterna. E que alegria, tanto daquele que semeia como daquele que colhe! 37 Pois é bem verdade que um semeia o que outro irá colher. 38 Mandei-vos colher onde não semearam; outros tiveram o trabalho e vocês receberam a colheita.”
39 Muitos dos habitantes daquela terra samaritana creram em Jesus, levados por aquilo que a mulher afirmara: “Disse-me tudo o que fiz!” 40 Os que foram vê-lo junto ao poço pediram-lhe que ficasse na sua aldeia. E Jesus assim fez durante dois dias. 41 O suficiente para que muitos outros cressem depois de o ouvirem. 42 Então disseram à mulher: “Agora acreditamos porque nós próprios o ouvimos e não apenas pelo que nos contaste. É, de facto, o Salvador do mundo!”
Jesus cura o filho de um oficial
43 Depois de ter ficado ali dois dias, seguiu para a Galileia, 44 embora ele próprio tivesse dito que um profeta tem honras em toda a parte menos na sua própria terra. 45 Mas os galileus receberam-no de braços abertos, pois tinham estado em Jerusalém durante a festa da Páscoa e assistido aos seus milagres.
46 Regressou a Caná da Galileia, onde tinha transformado a água em vinho. Havia ali um homem, funcionário do governo, cujo filho estava doente em Cafarnaum. 47 Este homem, ao ouvir dizer que Jesus vinha da Judeia para a Galileia, foi ao seu encontro para lhe pedir que o acompanhasse e lhe curasse o filho que estava quase à morte.
48 Jesus perguntou-lhe: “Então nenhum de vocês acredita em mim a não ser vendo-me fazer sinais e maravilhas?”
49 Mas o homem rogou-lhe: “Senhor, vem já, antes que o meu filho morra!”
50 “Volta para casa porque o teu filho vai sobreviver!” O homem, crendo em Jesus, voltou para casa.
51 Ainda ia a caminho, quando vieram ao encontro alguns servos com a notícia de que o filho já estava bom. 52 Perguntou-lhes quando fora que o jovem se sentira curado e responderam: “Ontem à tarde, por volta da uma hora, a febre desapareceu.” 53 Então aquele pai compreendeu que isso sucedera no preciso momento em que Jesus lhe dissera: “O teu filho vai sobreviver.” Ele e toda a sua casa creram. 54 Foi este o segundo sinal de Jesus na Galileia depois de ter vindo da Judeia.
