John 4
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Jesus and the Samaritan Woman
4 When Jesus[a] knew that the Pharisees(A) heard He was making(B) and baptizing more disciples than John(C) 2 (though Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples were), 3 He left Judea(D) and went again to Galilee.(E) 4 He had to travel through Samaria,(F) 5 so He came to a town of Samaria called Sychar near the property[b] that Jacob(G) had given his son Joseph.(H) 6 Jacob’s well(I) was there, and Jesus, worn out from His journey, sat down at the well. It was about six in the evening.[c]
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water.(J)
“Give Me a drink,” Jesus said to her, 8 for His disciples had gone into town to buy food.
9 “How is it that You, a Jew,(K) ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan(L) woman?” she asked Him. For Jews do not associate with[d] Samaritans.[e]
10 Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God,(M) and who is saying to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would ask Him, and He would give you living water.”(N)
11 “Sir,”(O) said the woman, “You don’t even have a bucket, and the well is deep. So where do You get this ‘living water’? 12 You aren’t greater than our father Jacob,(P) are You? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and livestock.”
13 Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks from this water will get thirsty again. 14 But whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never get thirsty again—ever!(Q) In fact, the water I will give him will become a well[f](R) of water springing up within him for eternal life.”(S)
15 “Sir,” the woman said to Him, “give me this water so I won’t get thirsty and come here to draw water.”
16 “Go call your husband,” He told her, “and come back here.”
17 “I don’t have a husband,” she answered.
“You have correctly said, ‘I don’t have a husband,’” Jesus said. 18 “For you’ve had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.”
19 “Sir,” the woman replied, “I see that You are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain,[g](T) yet you Jews say that the place to worship is in Jerusalem.”(U)
21 Jesus told her, “Believe Me, woman, an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans[h] worship what you do not know. We worship what we do know, because salvation is from the Jews.(V) 23 But an hour is coming, and is now here,(W) when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. Yes, the Father wants such people to worship Him. 24 God is spirit,(X) and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”(Y)
25 The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah[i](Z) is coming” (who is called Christ(AA)). “When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”
26 “I am He,”(AB) Jesus told her, “the One speaking to you.”
The Ripened Harvest
27 Just then His disciples arrived, and they were amazed that He was talking with a woman. Yet no one said, “What do You want?” or “Why are You talking with her?”
28 Then the woman left her water jar, went into town, and told the men, 29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did! Could this be the Messiah?”(AC) 30 They left the town and made their way to Him.(AD)
31 In the meantime the disciples kept urging Him, “Rabbi,(AE) eat something.”
32 But He said, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
33 The disciples said to one another, “Could someone have brought Him something to eat?”
34 “My food is to do the will of Him(AF) who sent Me(AG) and to finish His work,”(AH) Jesus told them. 35 “Don’t you say, ‘There are still four more months, then comes the harvest’? Listen to what I’m telling you: Open[j] your eyes and look at the fields, for they are ready[k] for harvest. 36 The reaper is already receiving pay and gathering fruit for eternal life,(AI) so the sower and reaper can rejoice together. 37 For in this case the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’(AJ) 38 I sent you to reap what you didn’t labor for; others have labored, and you have benefited from[l] their labor.”
The Savior of the World
39 Now many Samaritans(AK) from that town believed in Him because of what the woman said[m] when she testified,(AL) “He told me everything I ever did.” 40 Therefore, when the Samaritans came to Him,(AM) they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed there two days. 41 Many more believed because of what He said.[n] 42 And they told the woman, “We no longer believe because of what you said, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this really is the Savior(AN) of the world.”[o]
A Galilean Welcome
43 After two days He left there for Galilee.(AO) 44 Jesus Himself testified(AP) that a prophet has no honor in his own country.(AQ) 45 When(AR) they entered Galilee, the Galileans(AS) welcomed Him because they had seen everything He did in Jerusalem(AT) during the festival.(AU) For they also had gone to the festival.
The Second Sign: Healing an Official’s Son
46 Then He went again to Cana(AV) of Galilee, where He had turned the water into wine. There was a certain royal official whose son was ill at Capernaum.(AW) 47 When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea(AX) into Galilee, he went to Him and pleaded with Him to come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.
48 Jesus told him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders,(AY) you will not believe.”(AZ)
49 “Sir,”(BA) the official said to Him, “come down before my boy dies!”
50 “Go,” Jesus told him, “your son will live.” The man believed what[p] Jesus said to him and departed.
51 While he was still going down, his slaves met him saying that his boy was alive. 52 He asked them at what time he got better. “Yesterday at seven in the morning[q] the fever left him,” they answered. 53 The father(BB) realized this was the very hour at which Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” Then he himself believed, along with his whole household.
54 This, therefore, was the second sign(BC) Jesus performed after He came from Judea to Galilee.(BD)

Juan 4
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
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.
