John 4
Revised Geneva Translation
4 Now, when the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
2 (though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples),
3 He left Judea and departed again into Galilee.
4 And it was necessary for Him to go through Samaria.
5 Then He came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the place that Jacob gave to his son, Joseph.
6 And Jacob’s Well was there. Jesus then, wearied by the journey, sat upon the Well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me drink.”
8 For His disciples had gone into the city to buy food.
9 Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask me for drink, who is a woman of Samaria? For the Jews do not associate with the Samaritans.”
10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and Who it is Who says to you, ‘Give me drink’, you would have asked of Him, and He would have given you water of life.”
11 The woman said to Him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the Well is deep. From where then have You the water of life?
12 Are You greater than our father, Jacob, who gave us the Well; and he himself drank thereof, and his sons, and his cattle?”
13 Jesus answered, and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water, shall thirst again.
14 “But whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him, shall never thirst. But the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water, springing up into everlasting life.”
15 The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me of that water, that I may never thirst, nor come here to draw again.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come back.”
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 he whom you now have is not your husband. That you said truly.”
19 The woman said to Him, “Sir, I see that You are a Prophet.
20 “Our fathers worshiped on this mountain. And You say that Jerusalem is the place wherein it is necessary to worship.”
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me. The hour comes when you shall neither on this mountain, nor at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 “You worship that which you do not know. We worship that which we know. For salvation is from the Jews.
23 “But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in Spirit and Truth. For the Father requires even such to worship Him.
24 “God is a Spirit. And those who worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and Truth.”
25 The woman said to Him, “I know well that Messiah shall come, Who is called Christ. When He has come, He will tell us all things.”
26 Jesus said to her, “I am He, Who speaks to you.”
27 And upon this came His disciples, and marveled that He talked with a woman. Yet no one said to Him, “What do You seek?” or “Why are You talking with her?”
28 The woman then left her water pot, and went her way into the city, and said to the men,
29 “Come! See a Man who has told me all things that ever I did! Can this be the Christ?”
30 Then they went out of the city and came to Him.
31 Meanwhile, the disciples urged Him, saying, “Master, eat.”
32 But He said to them, “I have food to eat that you know not of.”
33 Then the disciples said between themselves, “Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?”
34 Jesus said to them, “My food is that I may do the will of Him who sent Me and finish His work.
35 “Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, and then comes harvest?’ Behold, I say to you lift up your eyes and look at the fields. For they are white toward harvest already.
36 “And the one who reaps, receives reward, and gathers fruit to life eternal; that both the one who sows and the one who reaps might rejoice together.
37 “For herein is the true saying: that one sows and another reaps.
38 “I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored. Other men labored, and you have entered into their labors.”
39 Now many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the saying of the woman who testified, “He has told me all things that ever I did.”
40 Then, when the Samaritans came to Him, they urged Him to stay with them. And He stayed there two days.
41 And many more believed because of His word.
42 And they said to the woman, “Now we believe; not because of your saying, but because we have heard Him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
43 So, two days later He departed from there and went into Galilee.
44 For Jesus Himself had testified that a Prophet has no honor in his own country.
45 Then when He had come into Galilee, the Galileans who had seen all the things He did at Jerusalem, at the feast, received Him. For they also went to the feast.
46 And Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where He had made wine from water. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him, and urged Him to go down and heal his son. For he was about to die.
48 Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”
49 The ruler said to Him, “Sir, go down before my son dies.”
50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” And the man believed the Word that Jesus had spoken to him and went his way.
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, “Your son lives!”
52 Then he inquired of them the hour when he began to feel better. And they said to him, “Yesterday, the seventh hour, the fever left him.”
53 Then the father knew that it was the same hour in which Jesus had said to him, “Your son lives.” And he believed, and all his household.
54 This, again, is the second miracle Jesus did after He had come out of Judea into Galilee.
John 4
King James Version
4 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
3 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
4 And he must needs go through Samaria.
5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
41 And many more believed because of his own word;
42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
43 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.
52 Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.
54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
Juan 4
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
La mujer samaritana
4 Por tanto, cuando el Señor(A) supo que los fariseos habían oído que Él hacía y bautizaba(B) más discípulos que Juan 2 (aunque Jesús mismo no bautizaba(C), sino Sus discípulos(D)), 3 salió de Judea(E) y se fue otra vez para Galilea(F). 4 Y Él tenía que pasar por Samaria(G).
5 Llegó*, pues, a una ciudad de Samaria(H) llamada Sicar, cerca de la parcela de tierra que Jacob dio a su hijo José(I); 6 y allí estaba el pozo de Jacob. Entonces Jesús, cansado del camino, se sentó[a] junto al pozo. Era cerca del mediodía. 7 Una mujer de Samaria vino* a sacar agua, y Jesús le dijo*: «Dame de beber».
8 Pues Sus discípulos(J) habían ido a la ciudad(K) a comprar alimentos. 9 Entonces la mujer samaritana(L) le dijo*: «¿Cómo es que Tú, siendo judío, me pides de beber a mí, que soy samaritana?». (Porque los judíos no tienen tratos con los samaritanos(M)).
10 Jesús le respondió: «Si tú conocieras el don de Dios, y quién es el que te dice: “Dame de beber”, tú le habrías pedido a Él, y Él te hubiera dado agua viva(N)».
11 Ella le dijo*: «Señor, no tienes con qué sacarla, y el pozo es hondo; ¿de dónde, pues, tienes esa agua viva(O)? 12 ¿Acaso eres Tú mayor que nuestro padre Jacob, que nos dio el pozo(P) del cual bebió él mismo, y sus hijos, y sus ganados?».
13 Jesús le respondió: «Todo el que beba de esta agua volverá a tener sed, 14 pero el que beba del agua que Yo le daré, no tendrá sed jamás(Q), sino que el agua que Yo le daré se convertirá en él en una fuente de agua que brota para vida eterna(R)».
15 «Señor», le dijo* la mujer, «dame esa agua, para que no tenga sed(S) ni venga hasta aquí a sacarla». 16 Jesús le dijo*: «Ve, llama a tu marido y ven acá». 17 «No tengo marido», respondió la mujer. Jesús le dijo*: «Bien has dicho: “No tengo marido”, 18 porque cinco maridos has tenido, y el que ahora tienes no es tu marido; en eso has dicho la verdad».
19 La mujer le dijo*: «Señor, me parece que Tú eres profeta(T). 20 Nuestros padres adoraron(U) en este monte(V), y ustedes dicen que en Jerusalén(W) está el lugar donde se debe adorar».
21 Jesús le dijo*: «Mujer, cree lo que te digo: la hora viene(X)cuando ni en este monte ni en Jerusalén adorarán ustedes al Padre(Y). 22 Ustedes adoran lo que no conocen(Z); nosotros adoramos lo que conocemos, porque la salvación viene[b]de los judíos(AA). 23 Pero la hora viene, y ahora es(AB), cuando los verdaderos adoradores adorarán al Padre en espíritu(AC)y en verdad; porque ciertamente a los tales el Padre busca que lo adoren. 24 Dios es espíritu[c], y los que lo adoran deben adorar en espíritu(AD)y en verdad».
25 La mujer le dijo*: «Sé que el Mesías(AE) viene (el que es llamado Cristo(AF)); cuando Él venga nos declarará todo». 26 Jesús le dijo*: «Yo soy(AG), el que habla contigo».
27 En esto llegaron Sus discípulos(AH) y se admiraron de que hablara con una mujer, pero ninguno le preguntó: «¿Qué tratas de averiguar?» o: «¿Por qué hablas con ella?». 28 Entonces la mujer dejó su cántaro, fue a la ciudad y dijo* a los hombres: 29 «Vengan, vean a un hombre que me ha dicho todo lo que yo he hecho(AI). ¿No será este el Cristo[d](AJ)?». 30 Y salieron de la ciudad y fueron adonde Él estaba.
31 Mientras tanto, los discípulos le rogaban: «Rabí[e](AK), come». 32 Pero Él les dijo: «Yo tengo para comer una comida que ustedes no saben». 33 Entonces los discípulos(AL) se decían entre sí: «¿Le habrá traído alguien de comer?».
34 Jesús les dijo*: «Mi comida es hacer la voluntad del que me envió(AM)y llevar a cabo Su obra(AN). 35 ¿No dicen ustedes: “Todavía faltan cuatro meses, y después viene la siega”? Pero Yo les digo: alcen sus ojos y vean los campos que ya están blancos para la siega(AO). 36 Ya el segador recibe salario(AP)y recoge fruto(AQ)para vida eterna(AR), para que el que siembra se regocije junto con el que siega. 37 Porque en este caso el dicho es verdadero: “Uno es el que siembra y otro el que siega(AS)”. 38 Yo los envié a ustedes a segar lo que no han trabajado; otros han trabajado y ustedes han entrado en su labor».
39 Y de aquella ciudad(AT), muchos de los samaritanos creyeron en Él por la palabra de la mujer que daba testimonio, diciendo: «Él me dijo todo lo que yo he hecho(AU)». 40 De modo que cuando los samaritanos vinieron, rogaban a Jesús que se quedara con ellos; y Él se quedó allí dos días. 41 Muchos más creyeron por Su palabra, 42 y decían a la mujer: «Ya no creemos por lo que tú has dicho, porque nosotros mismos le hemos oído, y sabemos que Este es en verdad el Salvador del mundo(AV)».
43 Después de los dos días(AW), Jesús salió de allí para Galilea. 44 Porque Jesús mismo dio testimonio de que a un profeta no se le honra en su propia tierra(AX). 45 Así que cuando llegó a Galilea, los galileos lo recibieron, pues habían visto todo lo que Él hizo en Jerusalén durante la fiesta(AY); porque ellos también habían ido a la fiesta.
Curación del hijo de un oficial del rey
46 Entonces vino otra vez Jesús a Caná de Galilea(AZ), donde había convertido el agua en vino(BA). Y había allí cierto oficial del rey cuyo hijo estaba enfermo en Capernaúm(BB). 47 Cuando él oyó que Jesús había venido de Judea a Galilea(BC), fue a Su encuentro y le suplicaba que bajara y sanara a su hijo, porque estaba al borde de la muerte. 48 Jesús entonces le dijo: «Si ustedes no ven señales y prodigios(BD), no creerán». 49 El oficial del rey le dijo*: «Señor, baja antes de que mi hijo muera». 50 «Puedes irte, tu hijo vive», le dijo* Jesús. Y el hombre creyó la palabra que Jesús le dijo, y se fue(BE). 51 Y mientras bajaba a su casa, sus siervos le salieron al encuentro y le dijeron que su hijo[f] vivía. 52 Entonces les preguntó a qué hora había empezado a mejorar. Y le respondieron: «Ayer a la una de la tarde[g] se le quitó[h] la fiebre».
53 El padre entonces se dio cuenta que fue a la hora en que Jesús le dijo: «Tu hijo vive». Y creyó él con toda su casa(BF). 54 Esta[i] fue la segunda señal[j](BG) que Jesús hizo cuando fue de Judea a Galilea(BH).
