John 4
Complete Jewish Bible
4 When Yeshua learned that the P’rushim had heard he was making and immersing more talmidim than Yochanan 2 (although it was not Yeshua himself who immersed but his talmidim), 3 Yeshua left Y’hudah and set out again for the Galil. 4 This meant that he had to pass through Shomron.
5 He came to a town in Shomron called Sh’khem, near the field Ya‘akov had given to his son Yosef. 6 Ya‘akov’s Well was there; so Yeshua, exhausted from his travel, sat down by the well; it was about noon. 7 A woman from Shomron came to draw some water; and Yeshua said to her, “Give me a drink of water.” 8 (His talmidim had gone into town to buy food.) 9 The woman from Shomron said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask for water from me, a woman of Shomron?” (For Jews don’t associate with people from Shomron.) 10 Yeshua answered her, “If you knew God’s gift, that is, who it is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink of water,’ then you would have asked him; and he would have given you living water.”
11 She said to him, “Sir, you don’t have a bucket, and the well is deep; so where do you get this ‘living water’? 12 You aren’t greater than our father Ya‘akov, are you? He gave us this well and drank from it, and so did his sons and his cattle.” 13 Yeshua answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I will give him will never be thirsty again! On the contrary, the water I give him will become a spring of water inside him, welling up into eternal life!”
15 “Sir, give me this water,” the woman said to him, “so that I won’t have to be thirsty and keep coming here to draw water.” 16 He said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come back.” 17 She answered, “I don’t have a husband.” Yeshua said to her, “You’re right, you don’t have a husband! 18 You’ve had five husbands in the past, and you’re not married to the man you’re living with now! You’ve spoken the truth!”
19 “Sir, I can see that you are a prophet,” the woman replied. 20 “Our fathers worshipped on this mountain, but you people say that the place where one has to worship is in Yerushalayim.” 21 Yeshua said, “Lady, believe me, the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Yerushalayim. 22 You people don’t know what you are worshipping; we worship what we do know, because salvation comes from the Jews. 23 But the time is coming — indeed, it’s here now — when the true worshippers will worship the Father spiritually and truly, for these are the kind of people the Father wants worshipping him. 24 God is spirit; and worshippers must worship him spiritually and truly.”
25 The woman replied, “I know that Mashiach is coming” (that is, “the one who has been anointed”). “When he comes, he will tell us everything.” 26 Yeshua said to her, “I, the person speaking to you, am he.”
27 Just then, his talmidim arrived. They were amazed that he was talking with a woman; but none of them said, “What do you want?” or, “Why are you talking with her?” 28 So the woman left her water-jar, went back to the town and said to the people there, 29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I’ve ever done. Could it be that this is the Messiah?” 30 They left the town and began coming toward him.
31 Meanwhile, the talmidim were urging Yeshua, “Rabbi, eat something.” 32 But he answered, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.” 33 At this, the talmidim asked one another, “Could someone have brought him food?” 34 Yeshua said to them, “My food is to do what the one who sent me wants and to bring his work to completion. 35 Don’t you have a saying, ‘Four more months and then the harvest’? Well, what I say to you is: open your eyes and look at the fields! They’re already ripe for harvest! 36 The one who reaps receives his wages and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that the reaper and the sower may be glad together — 37 for in this matter, the proverb, ‘One sows and another reaps,’ holds true. 38 I sent you to reap what you haven’t worked for. Others have done the hard labor, and you have benefited from their work.”
39 Many people from that town in Shomron put their trust in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me all the things I did.” 40 So when these people from Shomron came to him, they asked him to stay with them. He stayed two days, 41 and many more came to trust because of what he said. 42 They said to the woman, “We no longer trust because of what you said, because we have heard for ourselves. We know indeed that this man really is the Savior of the world.”
43 After the two days, he went on from there toward the Galil. 44 Now Yeshua himself said, “A prophet is not respected in his own country.” 45 But when he arrived in the Galil, the people there welcomed him, because they had seen all he had done at the festival in Yerushalayim; since they had been there too.
46 He went again to Kanah in the Galil, where he had turned the water into wine. An officer in the royal service was there; his son was ill in K’far-Nachum. 47 This man, on hearing that Yeshua had come from Y’hudah to the Galil, went and asked him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. 48 Yeshua answered, “Unless you people see signs and miracles, you simply will not trust!” 49 The officer said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.” 50 Yeshua replied, “You may go, your son is alive.” The man believed what Yeshua said and left. 51 As he was going down, his servants met him with the news that his son was alive 52 So he asked them at what time he had gotten better; and they said, “The fever left him yesterday at one o’clock in the afternoon.” 53 The father knew that that was the very hour when Yeshua had told him, “Your son is alive”; and he and all his household trusted. 54 This was a second sign that Yeshua did; he did it after he had come from Y’hudah into the Galil.
Juan 4
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Si Jesus at ang Babaeng Taga-Samaria
4 1-2 Nabalitaan ng mga Pariseo na mas marami na ang mga tagasunod ni Jesus kaysa kay Juan, at mas marami na ang nabautismuhan niya. (Kahit na hindi mismong si Jesus ang nagbabautismo kundi ang mga tagasunod niya.) Nang malaman ni Jesus na nabalitaan ito ng mga Pariseo, 3 umalis siya sa Judea at bumalik sa Galilea. 4 Para makabalik sa Galilea, kailangan niyang dumaan sa Samaria.
5 Nang dumadaan na sila sa Samaria, dumating sila sa isang bayan na tinatawag na Sycar, malapit sa lupaing ibinigay ni Jacob sa anak niyang si Jose. 6 May balon doon na ginawa ni Jacob. Dahil tanghaling-tapat na noon at pagod na si Jesus sa paglalakbay, umupo siya sa tabi ng balon para magpahinga. 7-8 Tumuloy naman ang mga tagasunod niya sa bayan upang bumili ng pagkain. Habang nakaupo si Jesus, dumating ang isang babaeng taga-Samaria para umigib. Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Pwede bang makiinom?” 9 Sumagot ang babae, “Kayo po ay isang Judio at ako ay Samaritano, at babae pa.[a] Bakit po kayo makikiinom sa akin?” (Sinabi niya ito dahil hindi nakikitungo ang mga Judio sa mga Samaritano.) 10 Sinabi ni Jesus sa babae, “Kung alam mo lang ang ipinagkakaloob ng Dios, at kung sino ang nakikiinom sa iyo, baka ikaw pa ang manghingi sa akin para bigyan kita ng tubig na nagbibigay-buhay.” 11 Sinabi ng babae, “Malalim po ang balon at wala kayong pang-igib. Saan po kayo kukuha ng tubig na nagbibigay-buhay? 12 Higit pa po ba kayo sa ating ninuno na si Jacob na humukay ng balong ito? Siya at ang mga anak niya, pati ang mga hayop niya ay dito umiinom noong araw.” 13 Sumagot si Jesus, “Ang lahat ng umiinom ng tubig na itoʼy muling mauuhaw, 14 pero ang sinumang iinom ng tubig na ibibigay ko ay hindi na muling mauuhaw. Dahil ang tubig na ibibigay ko ay magiging tulad ng isang bukal sa loob niya na magbibigay ng buhay na walang hanggan.” 15 Sinabi ng babae, “Bigyan nʼyo po ako ng tubig na sinasabi nʼyo upang hindi na ako muling mauhaw at hindi ko na kailangan pang pumarito para umigib.” 16 Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Umuwi ka muna at isama mo rito ang iyong asawa.” 17 “Wala po akong asawa,” sagot ng babae. Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Tama ang sinabi mo na wala kang asawa, 18 dahil lima na ang naging asawa mo, at ang kinakasama mo ngayon ay hindi mo tunay na asawa. Nagsasabi ka nga ng totoo.” 19 Sumagot ang babae, “Sa tingin ko, isa po kayong propeta. 20 Ang aming mga ninuno ay sumamba sa Dios sa bundok na ito, pero kayong mga Judio ay nagsasabi na sa Jerusalem lang dapat sumamba ang mga tao.” 21 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Maniwala ka sa akin; darating ang panahon na hindi na kayo sasamba sa Ama sa bundok na ito o sa Jerusalem. 22 Kayo na mga Samaritano ay hindi nakakakilala sa sinasamba ninyo. Ngunit kilala naming mga Judio ang aming sinasamba, dahil sa pamamagitan namin ay ililigtas ng Dios ang mga tao. 23 Tandaan mo, darating ang panahon, at narito na nga, na ang mga tunay na sumasamba ay sasamba sa Ama sa espiritu at katotohanan. Ganito ang uri ng mga sumasamba na hinahanap ng Ama. 24 Ang Dios ay espiritu, kaya ang sumasamba sa kanya ay dapat sumamba sa pamamagitan ng espiritu at katotohanan.”
25 Sinabi ng babae, “Nalalaman ko pong darating ang Mesias na tinatawag ding Cristo. At pagdating niya, ipapaliwanag niya sa amin ang lahat ng bagay.” 26 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Akong nagsasalita sa iyo ngayon ang tinutukoy mo.”
27 Nang sandaling iyon, dumating ang mga tagasunod ni Jesus. Nagtaka sila nang madatnan nilang nakikipag-usap siya sa isang babae. Pero wala ni isa man sa kanila ang nagtanong kung ano ang kailangan niya, at hindi rin sila nagtanong kay Jesus kung bakit nakikipag-usap siya sa babae.
28 Iniwan ng babae ang kanyang banga, bumalik sa bayan at sinabi sa mga taga-roon, 29 “Halikayo! Ipapakita ko sa inyo ang taong alam na alam ang lahat ng ginawa ko! Maaaring siya na nga ang Cristo.” 30 Kaya pinuntahan ng mga tao si Jesus.
31 Samantala, pinapakiusapan ng mga tagasunod niya si Jesus na kumain na. 32 Pero sumagot si Jesus, “May pagkain akong hindi ninyo alam.” 33 Kaya nagtanungan ang mga tagasunod niya, “May nagdala kaya sa kanya ng pagkain?” 34 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Ang pagkain ko ay ang pagsunod sa kalooban ng nagsugo sa akin at ang pagtupad sa kanyang ipinapagawa. 35 Hindi ba sinasabi nʼyo na apat na buwan pa bago ang anihan? Ngunit sinasabi ko sa inyo, anihan na. Tingnan nʼyo ang mga taong dumarating, para silang mga pananim sa bukid na hinog na at pwede nang anihin! 36 Kayong mga tagapag-ani ay tatanggap ng gantimpala mula sa Dios. At ang mga taong inaani ninyo ay bibigyan niya ng buhay na walang hanggan. Kaya magkasamang matutuwa ang nagtanim ng salita ng Dios at ang nag-ani. 37 Totoo ang kasabihang, ‘Iba ang nagtatanim at iba rin ang umaani.’ 38 Sinugo ko kayo upang anihin ang hindi ninyo itinanim. Iba ang nagtanim ng salita ng Dios, at kayo ang umaani ng kanilang pinaghirapan.”
Maraming Samaritano ang Sumampalataya
39 Maraming Samaritano sa bayang iyon ang sumampalataya kay Jesus dahil sa sinabi ng babae na alam ni Jesus ang lahat ng ginawa niya. 40 Kaya pagdating ng mga Samaritano kay Jesus, hiniling nila na manatili muna siya roon sa kanila. At nanatili nga siya sa kanila ng dalawang araw.
41 Dahil sa pangangaral niya, marami pa sa kanila ang sumampalataya. 42 Sinabi ng mga tao sa babae, “Sumasampalataya kami ngayon hindi lang dahil sa sinabi mo sa amin ang tungkol sa kanya, kundi dahil sa narinig namin mismo sa kanya. At alam naming siya nga ang Tagapagligtas ng mundo.”
Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Anak ng Isang Opisyal
43 Pagkatapos ng dalawang araw na pamamalagi roon ni Jesus, umalis siya papuntang Galilea. 44 (Si Jesus mismo ang nagsabi na ang isang propeta ay hindi iginagalang sa sarili niyang bayan.) 45 Nang dumating siya sa Galilea, malugod siyang tinanggap ng mga tao, dahil naroon sila sa Jerusalem noong Pista ng Paglampas ng Anghel at nakita nila ang lahat ng ginawa niya roon.
46 Muling bumalik si Jesus sa bayan ng Cana sa Galilea kung saan ginawa niyang alak ang tubig. Doon ay may isang opisyal ng pamahalaan na ang anak na lalaki ay may sakit at nasa Capernaum. 47 Nang mabalitaan niyang bumalik si Jesus sa Galilea mula sa Judea, pinuntahan niya ito. Nakiusap siya kay Jesus na pumunta sa Capernaum at pagalingin ang anak niyang nag-aagaw-buhay. 48 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Hanggaʼt hindi kayo nakakakita ng mga himala at kababalaghan, hindi kayo maniniwala sa akin.” 49 Sumagot ang opisyal, “Sumama na po kayo sa akin bago mamatay ang anak ko.” 50 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Pwede ka nang umuwi. Magaling na ang anak mo.” Naniwala ang opisyal sa sinabi ni Jesus at umuwi siya. 51 Habang nasa daan pa lang ay sinalubong na siya ng mga alipin niya at sinabi sa kanya na magaling na ang anak niya. 52 Kaya tinanong niya kung anong oras ito gumaling. Sumagot sila, “Kahapon po ng mga ala-una ng hapon ay nawala na ang lagnat niya.” 53 Naalala ng opisyal na nang oras ding iyon ay sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus na magaling na ang anak niya. Kaya siya at ang buong pamilya niya ay sumampalataya kay Jesus.
54 Ito ang ikalawang himala na ginawa ni Jesus sa Galilea pagkagaling niya sa Judea.

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.
