The Message
The Woman at the Well
4 1-3 Jesus realized that the Pharisees were keeping count of the baptisms that he and John performed (although his disciples, not Jesus, did the actual baptizing). They had posted the score that Jesus was ahead, turning him and John into rivals in the eyes of the people. So Jesus left the Judean countryside and went back to Galilee.
4-6 To get there, he had to pass through Samaria. He came into Sychar, a Samaritan village that bordered the field Jacob had given his son Joseph. Jacob’s well was still there. Jesus, worn out by the trip, sat down at the well. It was noon.
7-8 A woman, a Samaritan, came to draw water. Jesus said, “Would you give me a drink of water?” (His disciples had gone to the village to buy food for lunch.)
9 The Samaritan woman, taken aback, asked, “How come you, a Jew, are asking me, a Samaritan woman, for a drink?” (Jews in those days wouldn’t be caught dead talking to Samaritans.)
10 Jesus answered, “If you knew the generosity of God and who I am, you would be asking me for a drink, and I would give you fresh, living water.”
11-12 The woman said, “Sir, you don’t even have a bucket to draw with, and this well is deep. So how are you going to get this ‘living water’? Are you a better man than our ancestor Jacob, who dug this well and drank from it, he and his sons and livestock, and passed it down to us?”
13-14 Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again and again. Anyone who drinks the water I give will never thirst—not ever. The water I give will be an artesian spring within, gushing fountains of endless life.”
15 The woman said, “Sir, give me this water so I won’t ever get thirsty, won’t ever have to come back to this well again!”
16 He said, “Go call your husband and then come back.”
17-18 “I have no husband,” she said.
“That’s nicely put: ‘I have no husband.’ You’ve had five husbands, and the man you’re living with now isn’t even your husband. You spoke the truth there, sure enough.”
19-20 “Oh, so you’re a prophet! Well, tell me this: Our ancestors worshiped God at this mountain, but you Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place for worship, right?”
21-23 “Believe me, woman, the time is coming when you Samaritans will worship the Father neither here at this mountain nor there in Jerusalem. You worship guessing in the dark; we Jews worship in the clear light of day. God’s way of salvation is made available through the Jews. But the time is coming—it has, in fact, come—when what you’re called will not matter and where you go to worship will not matter.
23-24 “It’s who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That’s the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. God is sheer being itself—Spirit. Those who worship him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration.”
25 The woman said, “I don’t know about that. I do know that the Messiah is coming. When he arrives, we’ll get the whole story.”
26 “I am he,” said Jesus. “You don’t have to wait any longer or look any further.”
27 Just then his disciples came back. They were shocked. They couldn’t believe he was talking with that kind of a woman. No one said what they were all thinking, but their faces showed it.
28-30 The woman took the hint and left. In her confusion she left her water pot. Back in the village she told the people, “Come see a man who knew all about the things I did, who knows me inside and out. Do you think this could be the Messiah?” And they went out to see for themselves.
It’s Harvest Time
31 In the meantime, the disciples pressed him, “Rabbi, eat. Aren’t you going to eat?”
32 He told them, “I have food to eat you know nothing about.”
33 The disciples were puzzled. “Who could have brought him food?”
34-35 Jesus said, “The food that keeps me going is that I do the will of the One who sent me, finishing the work he started. As you look around right now, wouldn’t you say that in about four months it will be time to harvest? Well, I’m telling you to open your eyes and take a good look at what’s right in front of you. These Samaritan fields are ripe. It’s harvest time!
36-38 “The Harvester isn’t waiting. He’s taking his pay, gathering in this grain that’s ripe for eternal life. Now the Sower is arm in arm with the Harvester, triumphant. That’s the truth of the saying, ‘This one sows, that one harvests.’ I sent you to harvest a field you never worked. Without lifting a finger, you have walked in on a field worked long and hard by others.”
39-42 Many of the Samaritans from that village committed themselves to him because of the woman’s witness: “He knew all about the things I did. He knows me inside and out!” They asked him to stay on, so Jesus stayed two days. A lot more people entrusted their lives to him when they heard what he had to say. They said to the woman, “We’re no longer taking this on your say-so. We’ve heard it for ourselves and know it for sure. He’s the Savior of the world!”
* * *
43-45 After the two days he left for Galilee. Now, Jesus knew well from experience that a prophet is not respected in the place where he grew up. So when he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, but only because they were impressed with what he had done in Jerusalem during the Passover Feast, not that they really had a clue about who he was or what he was up to.
46-48 Now he was back in Cana of Galilee, the place where he made the water into wine. Meanwhile in Capernaum, there was a certain official from the king’s court whose son was sick. When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and asked that he come down and heal his son, who was on the brink of death. Jesus put him off: “Unless you people are dazzled by a miracle, you refuse to believe.”
49 But the court official wouldn’t be put off. “Come down! It’s life or death for my son.”
50-51 Jesus simply replied, “Go home. Your son lives.”
The man believed the bare word Jesus spoke and headed home. On his way back, his servants intercepted him and announced, “Your son lives!”
52-53 He asked them what time he began to get better. They said, “The fever broke yesterday afternoon at one o’clock.” The father knew that that was the very moment Jesus had said, “Your son lives.”
53-54 That settled it. Not only he but his entire household believed. This was now the second sign Jesus gave after having come from Judea into Galilee.

Gesù dai Samaritani
4 Quando il Signore venne a sapere che i farisei avevan sentito dire: Gesù fa più discepoli e battezza più di Giovanni 2 - sebbene non fosse Gesù in persona che battezzava, ma i suoi discepoli -, 3 lasciò la Giudea e si diresse di nuovo verso la Galilea. 4 Doveva perciò attraversare la Samaria. 5 Giunse pertanto ad una città della Samaria chiamata Sicàr, vicina al terreno che Giacobbe aveva dato a Giuseppe suo figlio: 6 qui c'era il pozzo di Giacobbe. Gesù dunque, stanco del viaggio, sedeva presso il pozzo. Era verso mezzogiorno. 7 Arrivò intanto una donna di Samaria ad attingere acqua. Le disse Gesù: «Dammi da bere». 8 I suoi discepoli infatti erano andati in città a far provvista di cibi. 9 Ma la Samaritana gli disse: «Come mai tu, che sei Giudeo, chiedi da bere a me, che sono una donna samaritana?». I Giudei infatti non mantengono buone relazioni con i Samaritani. 10 Gesù le rispose: «Se tu conoscessi il dono di Dio e chi è colui che ti dice: "Dammi da bere!", tu stessa gliene avresti chiesto ed egli ti avrebbe dato acqua viva». 11 Gli disse la donna: «Signore, tu non hai un mezzo per attingere e il pozzo è profondo; da dove hai dunque quest'acqua viva? 12 Sei tu forse più grande del nostro padre Giacobbe, che ci diede questo pozzo e ne bevve lui con i suoi figli e il suo gregge?». 13 Rispose Gesù: «Chiunque beve di quest'acqua avrà di nuovo sete; 14 ma chi beve dell'acqua che io gli darò, non avrà mai più sete, anzi, l'acqua che io gli darò diventerà in lui sorgente di acqua che zampilla per la vita eterna». 15 «Signore, gli disse la donna, dammi di quest'acqua, perché non abbia più sete e non continui a venire qui ad attingere acqua». 16 Le disse: «Và a chiamare tuo marito e poi ritorna qui». 17 Rispose la donna: «Non ho marito». Le disse Gesù: «Hai detto bene "non ho marito"; 18 infatti hai avuto cinque mariti e quello che hai ora non è tuo marito; in questo hai detto il vero». 19 Gli replicò la donna: «Signore, vedo che tu sei un profeta. 20 I nostri padri hanno adorato Dio sopra questo monte e voi dite che è Gerusalemme il luogo in cui bisogna adorare». 21 Gesù le dice: «Credimi, donna, è giunto il momento in cui né su questo monte, né in Gerusalemme adorerete il Padre. 22 Voi adorate quel che non conoscete, noi adoriamo quello che conosciamo, perché la salvezza viene dai Giudei. 23 Ma è giunto il momento, ed è questo, in cui i veri adoratori adoreranno il Padre in spirito e verità; perché il Padre cerca tali adoratori. 24 Dio è spirito, e quelli che lo adorano devono adorarlo in spirito e verità». 25 Gli rispose la donna: «So che deve venire il Messia (cioè il Cristo): quando egli verrà, ci annunzierà ogni cosa». 26 Le disse Gesù: «Sono io, che ti parlo».
27 In quel momento giunsero i suoi discepoli e si meravigliarono che stesse a discorrere con una donna. Nessuno tuttavia gli disse: «Che desideri?», o: «Perché parli con lei?». 28 La donna intanto lasciò la brocca, andò in città e disse alla gente: 29 «Venite a vedere un uomo che mi ha detto tutto quello che ho fatto. Che sia forse il Messia?». 30 Uscirono allora dalla città e andavano da lui.
31 Intanto i discepoli lo pregavano: «Rabbì, mangia». 32 Ma egli rispose: «Ho da mangiare un cibo che voi non conoscete». 33 E i discepoli si domandavano l'un l'altro: «Qualcuno forse gli ha portato da mangiare?». 34 Gesù disse loro: «Mio cibo è fare la volontà di colui che mi ha mandato e compiere la sua opera. 35 Non dite voi: Ci sono ancora quattro mesi e poi viene la mietitura? Ecco, io vi dico: Levate i vostri occhi e guardate i campi che gia biondeggiano per la mietitura. 36 E chi miete riceve salario e raccoglie frutto per la vita eterna, perché ne goda insieme chi semina e chi miete. 37 Qui infatti si realizza il detto: uno semina e uno miete. 38 Io vi ho mandati a mietere ciò che voi non avete lavorato; altri hanno lavorato e voi siete subentrati nel loro lavoro».
39 Molti Samaritani di quella città credettero in lui per le parole della donna che dichiarava: «Mi ha detto tutto quello che ho fatto». 40 E quando i Samaritani giunsero da lui, lo pregarono di fermarsi con loro ed egli vi rimase due giorni. 41 Molti di più credettero per la sua parola 42 e dicevano alla donna: «Non è più per la tua parola che noi crediamo; ma perché noi stessi abbiamo udito e sappiamo che questi è veramente il salvatore del mondo».
Gesù in Galilea
43 Trascorsi due giorni, partì di là per andare in Galilea. 44 Ma Gesù stesso aveva dichiarato che un profeta non riceve onore nella sua patria. 45 Quando però giunse in Galilea, i Galilei lo accolsero con gioia, poiché avevano visto tutto quello che aveva fatto a Gerusalemme durante la festa; anch'essi infatti erano andati alla festa.
Secondo segno a Cana: guarigione del figlio di un funzionario reale
46 Andò dunque di nuovo a Cana di Galilea, dove aveva cambiato l'acqua in vino. Vi era un funzionario del re, che aveva un figlio malato a Cafarnao. 47 Costui, udito che Gesù era venuto dalla Giudea in Galilea, si recò da lui e lo pregò di scendere a guarire suo figlio poiché stava per morire. 48 Gesù gli disse: «Se non vedete segni e prodigi, voi non credete». 49 Ma il funzionario del re insistette: «Signore, scendi prima che il mio bambino muoia». 50 Gesù gli risponde: «Và, tuo figlio vive». Quell'uomo credette alla parola che gli aveva detto Gesù e si mise in cammino. 51 Proprio mentre scendeva, gli vennero incontro i servi a dirgli: «Tuo figlio vive!». 52 S'informò poi a che ora avesse cominciato a star meglio. Gli dissero: «Ieri, un'ora dopo mezzogiorno la febbre lo ha lasciato». 53 Il padre riconobbe che proprio in quell'ora Gesù gli aveva detto: «Tuo figlio vive» e credette lui con tutta la sua famiglia. 54 Questo fu il secondo miracolo che Gesù fece tornando dalla Giudea in Galilea.

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.

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.

Si Jesus at ang Babaing Taga-Samaria
4 Nang malaman ni Jesus na narinig ng mga Fariseo na siya ay nakahihikayat ng mas maraming alagad at nagbabautismo ng mas marami kaysa kay Juan— 2 bagama't hindi naman si Jesus ang nagbabautismo kundi ang kanyang mga alagad,— 3 umalis siya ng Judea at nagtungo muli sa Galilea. 4 Kailangan niyang dumaan sa Samaria, 5 (A)kaya nakarating siya sa Sicar, isang bayan ng Samaria, malapit sa bukirin na ibinigay ni Jacob sa anak niyang si Jose. 6 Naroon ang balon ni Jacob, kaya't nang mapagod si Jesus mula sa kanyang paglalakbay, umupo siya sa tabi niyon. Magtatanghaling tapat[a] na noon 7 nang may isang Samaritanang dumating upang sumalok ng tubig. Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Pahingi nga ng inumin.” 8 (Ang kanyang mga alagad ay nakaalis na noon patungong bayan upang bumili ng pagkain.) 9 (B)Sinabi ng Samaritana sa kanya, “Ikaw ay isang Judio, bakit ka humihingi ng tubig sa akin na isang Samaritana?” (Dahil ang mga Judio ay hindi nakikitungo sa mga Samaritano.) 10 Sumagot si Jesus sa kanya, “Kung alam mo lamang ang kaloob ng Diyos at kung sino itong nagsasabi sa iyo, ‘Pahingi ng inumin,’ ikaw pa ang hihingi sa kanya, at bibigyan ka niya ng tubig ng buhay.” 11 Sinabi ng babae sa kanya, “Ginoo, wala kang pansalok ng tubig, at malalim ang balon; saan ka kukuha ng tubig ng buhay? 12 Mas dakila ka pa ba kaysa ama naming si Jacob na nagbigay ng balon sa amin, at siya mismo'y uminom mula rito, pati na rin ang kanyang mga anak at mga hayop?” 13 Sumagot si Jesus sa kanya, “Ang sinumang uminom sa tubig na ito'y muling mauuhaw, 14 subalit, ang iinom ng tubig na ibibigay ko ay hindi na kailanman mauuhaw. Ang tubig na ibibigay ko ay magiging bukal ng tubig sa kanya patungo sa buhay na walang hanggan.” 15 Sinabi ng babae sa kanya, “Ginoo, bigyan mo ako ng tubig na ito nang hindi na ako mauhaw at hindi na rin pumarito para mag-igib.” 16 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Humayo ka at tawagin mo ang iyong asawa at bumalik ka rito.” 17 Sumagot ang babae, “Wala akong asawa.” Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Tama ka sa iyong sinabing wala kang asawa, 18 dahil nagkaroon ka na ng limang asawa, at ang kinakasama mo ngayon ay hindi mo asawa. Totoo nga ang sinabi mo.” 19 Sinabi ng babae sa kanya, “Ginoo, sa tingin ko'y isa kang propeta. 20 Sumamba sa bundok na ito ang aming mga ninuno; ngunit kayong mga Judio'y nagsasabing sa Jerusalem dapat sumamba.” 21 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Ginang, maniwala ka sa akin, na darating ang oras na sasambahin ninyo ang Ama hindi sa bundok na ito, ni sa Jerusalem. 22 Sinasamba ninyo ang hindi ninyo nakikilala; kilala namin ang aming sinasamba, sapagkat ang kaligtasan ay mula sa mga Judio. 23 Ngunit ang oras ay dumarating, at ngayon na nga, kung saan ang mga tunay na sumasamba ay sasamba sa Ama sa espiritu at katotohanan, sapagkat ganito ang hinahanap ng Ama na sasamba sa kanya. 24 Ang Diyos ay espiritu, at ang mga sumasamba sa kanya ay dapat sumamba sa espiritu at katotohanan.” 25 Sinabi ng babae sa kanya, “Alam kong darating ang Mesiyas, siya na tinatawag na Cristo; sa pagdating niya, ipaliliwanag niya sa amin ang lahat ng bagay.” 26 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Ako mismong nagsasalita sa iyo ang tinutukoy mo.” 27 Dumating ang kanyang mga alagad at nagtaka sila dahil nakikipag-usap siya sa isang babae, ngunit wala ni isa mang nagtanong sa babae, “Anong gusto mo?” o kay Jesus, “Bakit kayo nakikipag-usap sa kanya?” 28 Pagkatapos ay iniwan ng babae ang kanyang sisidlan ng tubig at umalis papuntang lungsod, at sinabi niya sa mga tao, 29 “Halikayo, tingnan ninyo ang taong nagsabi sa akin ng lahat ng ginawa ko. Siya na nga kaya ang Cristo?” 30 Kaya't sila'y lumabas ng lungsod at nagpunta kay Jesus. 31 Samantala, pinilit siya ng mga alagad niya at sinabi, “Rabbi, kumain po kayo.” 32 Ngunit sinabi niya sa kanila, “Mayroon akong pagkaing hindi ninyo alam.” 33 Kaya't sinabi ng mga alagad sa isa't isa, “Wala namang nagdala sa kanya ng pagkain, hindi ba?” 34 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Ang pagkain ko'y gawin ang kalooban niya na nagsugo sa akin, at tuparin ang kanyang gawain. 35 Hindi ba sinasabi ninyo, ‘Apat na buwan na lang at anihan na?’ Sinasabi ko sa inyo, imulat ninyo ang inyong mga mata at tingnan ninyo ang mga bukirin at handa na ang mga iyon para anihin. 36 Ang umaani ay tumatanggap ng kabayaran, at nagtitipon ng bunga tungo sa buhay na walang hanggan. Sa gayon, ang nagtatanim at ang umaani ay magkasalong magagalak. 37 Dahil dito, totoo nga ang kasabihan, ‘Iba ang nagtatanim, at iba naman ang nag-aani.’ 38 Isinugo ko kayo upang anihin ang hindi ninyo pinagpaguran. Iba ang nagpagod, at kayo'y umaani sa kanilang pinagpaguran.” 39 Maraming taga-Samaria mula sa lungsod na iyon ang sumampalataya kay Jesus dahil sa patotoong ito ng babae: “Sinabi niya ang lahat ng ginawa ko.” 40 Kaya noong pumunta sa kanya ang mga taga-Samaria, hiniling nila kay Jesus na manatili sa kanila. Dalawang araw siyang nanatili roon. 41 At marami pa ang sumampalataya dahil sa salita ni Jesus. 42 Sinabi nila sa babae, “Hindi na dahil sa mga salita mo kung bakit kami sumasampalataya, sapagkat kami mismo ang nakarinig sa kanya. Nalalaman naming siya nga ang Tagapagligtas ng sanlibutan.”
Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Anak ng Mayamang Pinuno
43 Pagkalipas ng dalawang araw, pumunta si Jesus sa Galilea, 44 (C)sapagkat siya mismo ang nagpatotoo na ang isang propeta ay walang karangalan sa sarili niyang bayan. 45 (D)Kaya nang dumating siya sa Galilea, tinangkilik siya ng mga tagaroon, dahil nakita nila ang lahat ng kanyang ginawa sa Jerusalem noong kapistahan, sapagkat sila man ay naroroon din. 46 (E)Muli siyang nagpunta sa Cana ng Galilea. (Doon niya ginawang alak ang tubig.) Sa Capernaum, may isang mayamang pinunong may anak na lalaki na nagkasakit. 47 Nang mabalitaan nito na si Jesus ay dumating sa Galilea mula sa Judea, nagpunta ito sa kanya. Hiniling ng pinuno kay Jesus na puntahan ang kanyang anak na lalaki upang pagalingin, sapagkat malapit na iyong mamatay. 48 Kaya sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Kung hindi pa kayo makakita ng mga himala at mga kababalaghan, hinding-hindi kayo maniniwala.” 49 Sinabi ng pinuno sa kanya, “Ginoo, pumunta na po kayo bago mamatay ang anak ko.” 50 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Humayo ka na, mabubuhay ang anak mo.” Naniwala ang lalaki sa sinabi ni Jesus at siya'y umalis na. 51 Habang siya'y naglalakad, sinalubong siya ng kanyang mga lingkod at ibinalita sa kanya na magaling na ang anak niya. 52 Tinanong niya sila kung anong oras ito gumaling, at ang sabi nila, “Ala-una[b] po kahapon nang mawalan siya ng lagnat.” 53 Naalala ng ama na iyon ang oras nang sabihin sa kanya ni Jesus na mabubuhay ang kanyang anak. At siya'y sumampalataya, pati na rin ang buo niyang sambahayan. 54 Ito ang pangalawang himalang ginawa ni Jesus. Nangyari ito nang siya'y dumating sa Galilea mula sa Judea.
