John 4
New International Version
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.

La Biblia de las Américas
La mujer samaritana
4 Por tanto, cuando el Señor(A) supo que los fariseos habían oído que Él[a] 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 partió otra vez para Galilea(F). 4 Y 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[b] junto al pozo. Era como la hora sexta[c]. 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 Respondió Jesús y le dijo: 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 Respondió Jesús y le dijo: 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 La mujer le dijo*: Señor, dame esa agua, para que no tenga sed(S) ni venga hasta aquí a sacarla. 16 Él le dijo*: Ve, llama a tu marido y ven acá. 17 Respondió la mujer y le dijo: No tengo marido. 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 vosotros decís que en Jerusalén(W) está el lugar donde se debe adorar. 21 Jesús le dijo*: Mujer, créeme; la hora viene(X) cuando ni en este monte ni en Jerusalén adoraréis al Padre(Y). 22 Vosotros adoráis lo que no conocéis(Z); nosotros adoramos lo que conocemos, porque la salvación viene[d] 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 le adoren. 24 Dios es espíritu[e], y los que le adoran deben adorarle 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 Venid, ved a un hombre que me ha dicho todo lo que yo he hecho(AI). ¿No será este el Cristo[f](AJ)? 30 Y salieron de la ciudad e iban a Él. 31 Mientras tanto, los discípulos le rogaban, diciendo: Rabí[g](AK), come. 32 Pero Él les dijo: Yo tengo para comer una comida que vosotros no sabéis. 33 Los discípulos(AL) entonces 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 decís vosotros: «Todavía faltan cuatro meses, y después viene la siega»? He aquí, yo os digo: Alzad vuestros ojos y ved 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 juntamente 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 os envié a segar lo que no habéis trabajado; otros han trabajado y vosotros habéis 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 a Él, le rogaban que se quedara con ellos; y se quedó allí dos días. 41 Y muchos más creyeron por su palabra, 42 y decían a la mujer: Ya no creemos por lo que tú has dicho[h], 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), 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 le recibieron, pues habían visto todo lo que 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 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 no veis señales[i] y prodigios(BD), no creeréis. 49 El oficial del rey le dijo*: Señor, baja antes de que mi hijo muera. 50 Jesús le dijo*: Vete, tu hijo vive. Y el hombre creyó la palabra que Jesús le dijo y se fue(BE). 51 Y mientras bajaba, sus siervos le salieron al encuentro y le dijeron que su hijo[j] vivía. 52 Entonces les preguntó a qué hora había empezado a mejorar. Y le respondieron: Ayer a la hora séptima[k] se le quitó[l] 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 y toda su casa(BF). 54 Esta[m] fue la segunda señal[n](BG) que Jesús hizo cuando fue de Judea a Galilea(BH).

约翰福音 4
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
生命的活水
4 主知道法利赛人听见他收门徒和施洗比约翰更多( 2 其实不是耶稣亲自施洗,而是他的门徒施洗), 3 就离开了犹太,再往加利利去。 4 他必须经过撒玛利亚。 5 于是到了撒玛利亚的一座城,名叫叙加;这城靠近雅各给他儿子约瑟的那块地。 6 在那里有雅各井。耶稣因为旅途疲倦了,就坐在井旁;那时大约正午。
7 有一个撒玛利亚妇人来打水。耶稣对她说:“请给我水喝。” 8 那时,他的门徒都进城买食物去了。 9 撒玛利亚妇人对耶稣说:“你是犹太人,怎么向我,一个撒玛利亚妇人要水喝呢?”(原来犹太人和撒玛利亚人不相往来。) 10 耶稣回答她:“你若知道 神的恩赐,和对你说‘请给我水喝’的是谁,你必早已求他,他也必早把活水赐给你了。” 11 妇人说:“先生,你没有打水的器具,井又深,你从哪里得活水呢? 12 我们的祖先雅各把这口井留给我们,他自己和子孙以及牲畜都喝这井的水,难道你比他还大吗?” 13 耶稣回答:“凡喝这水的,还要再渴; 14 人若喝我所赐的水,就永远不渴。我所赐的水要在他里面成为涌流的泉源,直涌到永生。” 15 妇人说:“先生,请把这水赐给我,使我不渴,也不用来这里打水。”
必须用心灵按真理敬拜 神
16 耶稣说:“你去,叫你的丈夫,然后回到这里来。” 17 妇人对他说:“我没有丈夫。”耶稣说:“你说‘没有丈夫’是不错的。 18 你以前有五个丈夫,现在有的并不是你的丈夫;你说这话是真的。” 19 妇人说:“先生,我看出你是先知。 20 我们的祖先在这山上敬拜 神,而你们却说,敬拜的地方必须在耶路撒冷。” 21 耶稣说:“妇人,你应当信我,时候将到,那时你们敬拜父,不在这山上,也不在耶路撒冷。 22 你们敬拜你们所不知道的,我们却敬拜我们所知道的,因为救恩是从犹太人出来的。 23 然而时候将到,现在就是了,那用心灵按真理敬拜父的,才是真正敬拜的人;因为父在寻找这样敬拜他的人。 24 神是灵,敬拜他的必须借着灵按真理敬拜他。” 25 妇人说:“我知道那称为基督的弥赛亚要来;他来了,要把一切都告诉我们。” 26 耶稣说:“我这现在跟你说话的就是他。”
27 正在这时候,门徒回来了,见耶稣和一个妇人说话,就很希奇;但是没有人问:“你要甚么?”或说:“你为甚么跟她说话?” 28 那妇人撇下了她的水罐,进到城里去,对众人说: 29 “你们来,看看一个人,他把我所作的一切都说出来,难道这人就是基督吗?” 30 众人就出城,往耶稣那里去。
庄稼已经熟了
31 当时,门徒对耶稣说:“拉比,请吃。” 32 耶稣说:“我有食物吃,是你们所不知道的。” 33 门徒就彼此说:“难道有人拿东西给他吃了吗?” 34 耶稣说:“我的食物就是遵行差我来者的旨意,并且完成他的工作。 35 你们不是说‘还有四个月才到收获的时候’吗?我告诉你们,举目向田观看,庄稼已经熟了,可以收割了。 36 收割的人得到工资,也积储五谷直到永生,使撒种的和收割的一同快乐。 37 ‘这人撒种,那人收割’,这话是真的。 38 我派你们去收割你们所没有劳苦的;别人劳苦,你们却享受他们劳苦的成果。”
39 因着那妇人作见证的话:“他把我所作的一切都说出来了”,那城里就有许多撒玛利亚人信了耶稣。 40 于是他们来到耶稣那里,求他和他们同住,耶稣就在那里住了两天。 41 因着耶稣的话,信他的人就更多了。 42 他们就对那妇人说:“现在我们信,不再是因为你的话,而是因为我们亲自听见了,知道这位真是世人的救主。”
治好大臣的儿子
43 两天之后,耶稣离开那里,往加利利去。 44 耶稣自己说过:“先知在本乡是不受尊敬的。” 45 耶稣到了加利利的时候,加利利人都欢迎他,因为他们曾经上耶路撒冷去过节,见过他所行的一切。
46 耶稣又到了加利利的迦拿,就是他变水为酒的地方。有一个大臣,他的儿子在迦百农患病。 47 他听见耶稣从犹太到了加利利,就来见他,求他下去医治他的儿子,因为他的儿子快要死了。 48 耶稣对他说:“你们若看不见神迹奇事,总是不肯信。” 49 大臣说:“先生,求你趁我的孩子还没有死就下去吧!” 50 耶稣告诉他:“回去吧,你的儿子好了。”那人信耶稣对他说的话,就回去了。 51 正下去的时候,他的仆人迎着他走来,说他的孩子好了。 52 他就向仆人查问孩子是甚么时候好转的。他们告诉他:“昨天下午一点钟,热就退了。” 53 这父亲就知道,那正是耶稣告诉他“你的儿子好了”的时候,他自己和全家就信了。 54 这是耶稣从犹太回到加利利以后所行的第二件神迹。
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.
John 4
Wycliffe Bible
4 Therefore as Jesus knew, that the Pharisees heard, that Jesus maketh and baptizeth more disciples than John,
2 though Jesus baptized not, but his disciples,
3 he left Judaea, and went again into Galilee.
4 And it behooved him to pass by Samaria.
5 Therefore Jesus came into a city of Samaria, that is called Sychar, beside the place [beside the manor, or field], that Jacob gave to Joseph, his son.
6 And the well of Jacob was there; and Jesus was weary of the journey, and sat thus upon the well [soothly Jesus made weary of the journey, sat thus on the well]. And the hour was, as it were the sixth.
7 And a woman came from Samaria, to draw water. And Jesus saith to her, Give me [to] drink.
8 And his disciples were gone into the city, to buy meat.
9 Therefore that woman of Samaria saith to him, How thou, that art a Jew, askest of me a drink, that am a woman of Samaria [which am a woman of Samaria]? for [the] Jews used not to deal with [the] Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered, and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is, that saith to thee, Give me [to] drink, thou peradventure wouldest have asked of him, and he should have given to thee quick water.
11 The woman saith to him, Sire, thou hast not wherein to draw [Sire, neither thou hast in what thing thou shalt draw], and the pit is deep; whereof then hast thou quick water?
12 Whether thou art greater than our father Jacob, that gave to us the pit? and he drank thereof, and his sons, and his beasts.
13 Jesus answered, and said to her, Each man that drinketh of this water, shall thirst again;
14 but he that drinketh of the water that I shall give him, shall not thirst without end [shall not thirst into without end]; but the water that I shall give him, shall be made in him a well of water, springing up into everlasting life.
15 The woman saith to him, Sire, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
16 Jesus saith to her, Go, call thine husband, and come hither.
17 The woman answered, and said, I have none husband [I have not an husband]. Jesus saith to her, Thou saidest well, That I have none husband [For I have not an husband];
18 for thou hast had five husbands, and he that thou hast, is not thine husband [and he whom thou hast now, is not thine husband]. This thing thou saidest soothly.
19 The woman saith to him, Lord, I see, that thou art a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this hill, and ye say, that at Jerusalem is a place, where it behooveth to worship.
21 Jesus saith to her, Woman, believe thou to me, for the hour shall come, when neither in this hill, neither in Jerusalem [nor in Jerusalem], ye shall worship the Father.
22 Ye worship that that ye know not; we worship that that we know; for health is of the Jews.
23 But the time is come [But the hour cometh], and now it is, when true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeketh such, that worship him.
24 God is a Spirit, and it behooveth them that worship him, to worship in spirit and truth.
25 The woman saith to him, I know that Messias is come, that is said Christ; therefore when he cometh [therefore when he shall come], he shall tell us all things.
26 Jesus saith to her, I am he, that speaketh with thee. [Jesus saith to her, I am, that speak with thee.]
27 And at once [And anon] his disciples came, and wondered, that he spake with the woman; nevertheless no man said to him, What seekest thou, or, What speakest thou with her?
28 Therefore the woman left her water pot, and went into the city, and said to the men [and saith to the men],
29 Come ye, and see a man, that said to me all things that I have done; whether he be Christ? [Come ye, and see a man, that said to me all things what ever I have done; whether he is Christ?]
30 And they went out of the city, and came to him.
31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, and said, Master, eat. [In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, or Master, eat.]
32 But he said to them, I have meat to eat, that ye know not.
33 Therefore the disciples said together, Whether any man hath brought him meat to eat [Whether any man brought to him to eat]?
34 Jesus saith to them, My meat is, that I do the will of him that sent me, [and] that I perform the work of him.
35 Whether ye say not, that yet four months be, and ripe corn cometh? Lo! I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see ye the fields, for now they be white to reap.
36 And he that reapeth taketh hire, and gathereth fruit into everlasting life; that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth, have joy together.
37 In this thing is the word true, For one is that soweth, and another that reapeth.
38 I sent you to reap, that that ye have not travailed; other men have travailed, and ye have entered into their travails.
39 And of that city many [of the] Samaritans believed in him, for the word of the woman, that bare witnessing, That he said to me all things that I have done [For he said to me all things, whatever I did].
40 Therefore when Samaritans came to him, they prayed him to dwell there [they prayed him, that he should dwell there]; and he dwelt there two days.
41 And many more believed for his word,
42 and said to the woman, That now not for thy speech we believe; for we have heard, and we know, that this is verily the Saviour of the world.
43 And after two days he went out from thence [Forsooth after two days he went thence], and went into Galilee.
44 And he [Jesus] bare witnessing, that a prophet in his own country hath none honour. [Soothly he Jesus bare witnessing, for a prophet in his own country hath not honour, or worship.]
45 Therefore when he came into Galilee, men of Galilee received him, when they had seen all things that he had done in Jerusalem in the feast day; for also they had come to the feast day.
46 Therefore he came again into the Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a little king, whose son was sick at Capernaum. [Therefore he came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And some little king was, whose son was sick at Capernaum.]
47 When this had heard, that Jesus should come from Judaea into Galilee, he went to him, and prayed him, that he should come down, and heal his son; for he began to die.
48 Therefore Jesus said to him, But ye see tokens and great wonders, ye believe not.
49 The little king saith to him, Lord, come down, before that my son die.
50 Jesus saith to him, Go, thy son liveth. The man believed to the word, that Jesus said to him, and he went.
51 And now when he came down [Soothly now him coming down], the servants came to meet him, and told to him, and said [saying], That his son lived.
52 And he asked of them the hour, in which he was amended. And they said to him, For yesterday in the seventh hour the fever left him.
53 Therefore the father knew, that that hour it was, in which Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth; and he believed, and all his house.
54 Jesus did again this second token, when he came from Judaea into Galilee.
