Nakipag-usap si Jesus sa Babaeng Taga-Samaria

Nalaman ng Panginoon na narinig ng mga Fariseo ang ginagawa ni Jesus. Narinig nila na siya ay nagkaroon ng higit na maraming alagad kaysa kay Juan at binawtismuhan niya sila.

Bagamat, hindi si Jesus ang siyang nagbabawtismo, kundi ang kaniyang mga alagad. Dahil dito, umalis siya sa Judea at pumunta muli sa Galilea.

Kinakailangang dumaan siya sa Samaria. Pumunta nga siya sa Sicar na isang lungsod ng Samaria. Ito ay malapit sa lupaing ibinigay ni Jacob sa kaniyang anak na si Jose. Naroroon ang bukal ni Jacob. Dahilnapagod si Jesus sa paglalakbay kaya umupo siya sa tabi ng balon. Noon ay mag-iikaanim na ang oras ng araw.

Dumating ang isang babaeng taga-Samaria upang sumalok ng tubig. Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya: Bigyan mo ako ng maiinom. Ang kaniyang mga alagad ay pumunta na sa lungsod upang bumili ng pagkain.

Sinabi sa kaniya ng babaeng taga-Samaria: Bakit ka humihingi sa akin ng maiinom? Ikaw ay isang Judio samantalang ako ay isang babaeng taga-Samaria sapagkat ang mga Judio ay hindi nakikipag-ugnayan sa mga taga-Samaria.

10 Sumagot si Jesus at sinabi sa kaniya: Kung alam mo ang kaloob ng Diyos at kung sino siya na nagsasabi sa iyo: Bigyan mo ako ng maiinom, ay hihingi ka sa kaniya. At ibibigay niya sa iyo ang tubig na buhay.

11 Sinabi ng babae sa kaniya: Ginoo, wala kang panalok at malalim ang balon. Saan magmumula ang iyong tubig na buhay? 12 Mas dakila ka ba sa aming amang si Jacob? Siya ang nagbigay sa amin ng balon. Siya ay uminom dito, gayundin ang kaniyang mga anak at ang kaniyang mga hayop.

13 Sumagot si Jesus at sinabi sa kaniya: Ang bawat isang uminom ng tubig na ito ay muling mauuhaw. 14 Ang sinumang uminom ng tubig na ibibigay ko ay hindi na mauuhaw magpakailanman. Ang tubig na aking ibibigay sa kaniya ay magiging balon ng tubig na mapapasa kaniya. Ito ay bubukal sa buhay na walang hanggan.

15 Sinabi ng babae sa kaniya: Ginoo, bigyan mo ako ng tubig na ito upang hindi na ako mauhaw ni pumunta rito upang sumalok.

16 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya: Humayo ka, tawagin mo ang iyong asawa at pumarito kayo.

17 Sumagot ang babae at sinabi: Wala akong asawa.

Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya: Mabuti ang sinabi mong wala kang asawa.

18 Ito ay sapagkat nagkaroon ka na ng limang asawa at ang kinakasama mo ngayon ay hindi mo asawa. Totoo ang iyong sinabi.

19 Sinabi ng babae sa kaniya: Ginoo, sa pakiwari ko ikaw ay isang propeta. 20 Sa bundok na ito sumamba ang aming mga ninuno. Sinasabi ninyo na ang pook na dapat sumamba ay sa Jerusalem.

21 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya: Ginang, maniwala ka sa akin. Darating ang oras na sasambahin ninyo ang Ama hindi sa bundok na ito, ni sa Jerusalem. 22 Hindi ninyo nakikilala ang sinasamba ninyo. Kilala namin ang aming sinasamba sapagkat ang kaligtasan ay sa mga Judio. 23 Darating ang oras at ngayon na nga, na ang mga tunay na mananamba ay sasamba sa Ama, sa espiritu at sa katotohanan sapagkat hinahanap ng Ama ang mga gayong sumasamba sa kaniya. 24 Ang Diyos ay Espiritu. Sila na sumasamba sa kaniya ay dapat sumamba sa espiritu at sa katotohanan.

25 Sinabi ng babae sa kaniya: Alam ko na ang Mesiyas na tinatawag na Cristo ay darating. Sa kaniyang pagdating ay sasabihin niya sa amin ang lahat ng mga bagay.

26 Sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus: Ako iyon, ako na nagsasalita sa iyo.

Ang mga Alagad ay Muling Sumama kay Jesus

27 Nang sandaling iyon ay dumating ang kaniyang mga alagad. Sila ay namangha na siya ay nakikipag-usap sa isang babae. Gayunman walang isa mang nagtanong: Ano ang iyong hinahanap o bakit ka nakikipag-usap sa kaniya?

28 Iniwan nga ng babae ang kaniyang banga at pumunta sa lungsod. Sinabi niya sa mga lalaki: 29 Halikayo, tingnan ninyo ang isang lalaki na nagsabi sa akin ng lahat ng mga bagay na aking ginawa. Hindi kaya ito na ang Mesiyas? 30 Lumabas nga sila sa lungsod at pumunta kay Jesus.

31 Samantala, ipinakikiusap sa kaniya ng mga alagad na nagsasabi: Guro, kumain ka.

32 Sinabi niya sa kanila: Mayroon akong kakaining pagkain na hindi ninyo alam.

33 Sinabi ng mga alagad sa isa’t isa: May nagdala ba sa kaniya ng makakain?

34 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila: Ang aking pagkain ay ang gawin ang kalooban ng nagsugo sa akin at tapusin ang kaniyang gawain. 35 Hindi ba sinasabi ninyo: Apat na buwan pa bago dumating ang tag-ani? Narito, sinasabi ko sa inyo: Itaas ninyo ang inyong paningin at tingnan ang mga bukid. Ito ay hinog na para anihin. 36 Ang nag-aani ay tumatanggap ng upa. Siya ay nag-iipon ng bunga patungo sa buhay na walang hanggan. Ito ay upang ang naghahasik at ang nag-aani ay kapwa magkasamang magalak. 37 Sa gayong paraan, totoo ang kasabihan: Iba ang naghahasik at iba ang nag-aani. 38 Sinugo ko kayo upang mag-ani ng hindi ninyo pinagpaguran. Ibang tao ang nagpagod at kayo ang nakinabang sa kanilang pinag­paguran.

Maraming Taga-Samaria ang Sumampalataya

39 Marami sa mga taga-Samaria sa lungsod na iyon ang sumampalataya kay Jesus dahil sa salita ng babaeng nagpa­totoo: Sinabi niya sa akin ang lahat ng mga bagay na aking ginawa.

40 Kaya nga, nang pumunta kay Jesus ang mga lalaking taga-Samaria ay hiniling nilang siya ay manatili na kasama nila. At siya ay nanatili roon ng dalawang araw. 41 Marami pa ang mga nagsisampalataya dahil sa kaniyang salita.

42 Sinabi nila sa babae: Sumasampalataya kami ngayon hindi na dahil sa sinabi mo. Kami ang nakarinig at aming nalaman na ito na nga ang Mesiyas. Alam namin na totoong siya ang Tagapagligtas ng sanlibutan.

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Anak ng Pinuno

43 Pagkaraan ng dalawang araw na iyon, umalis siya roon at pumunta sa Galilea.

44 Ito ay sapagkat si Jesus ang siyang nagpatotoo: Ang isang propeta ay walang karangalan sa sarili niyang bayan. 45 Kaya nang siya ay dumating sa Galilea, tinanggap siya ng mga taga-Galilea na pumunta rin sa kapistahan. Ito ay sapagkat nakita nila ang lahat ng mga bagay na ginawa niya sa Jerusalem sa panahon ng kapistahan.

46 Pumunta ngang muli si Jesus sa Cana na nasa Galilea. Ito ang pook na kung saan ginawa niyang alak ang tubig. Naroroon ang isang opisyal ng hari na ang kaniyang anak na lalaki, na nasa Capernaum, ay maysakit. 47 Narinig ng opisyal ng hari na si Jesus ay dumating sa Galilea mula sa Judea. Pagkarinig niya, pumunta siya kay Jesus at hiniling na siya ay lumusong at pagalingin ang kaniyang anak na lalaki sapagkat ang kaniyang anak ay mamamatay na.

48 Sinabi nga sa kaniya ni Jesus: Malibang makakita kayo ng mga tanda at mga kamangha-manghang gawa, kailanman ay hindi kayo sasampalataya.

49 Sinabi sa kaniya ng opisyal ng hari: Ginoo, lumusong ka bago mamatay ang aking maliit na anak.

50 Sinabi sa kaniya ni Jesus: Yumaon ka, buhay ang anak mong lalaki.

Sinampalatayanan ng lalaki ang salitang sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya at siya ay umalis.

51 Nang siya ay lumulusong na, sinalubong siya ng kaniyang mga alipin. Kanilang iniulat na buhay ang kaniyang anak. 52 Tinanong niya sila kung anong oras bumuti ang kaniyang anak. Kanilang sinabi sa kaniya: Kahapon nang ikapitong oras ng araw nawala ang kaniyang lagnat.

53 Nalaman nga ng ama na sa ganoong oras sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya: Ang iyong anak na lalaki ay buhay. Siya ay sumampalataya pati na ang kaniyang buong sambahayan.

54 Ito ang ikalawang tanda na ginawa ni Jesus sa kaniyang pagdating sa Galilea mula sa Judea.

When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John (although Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples), he left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee. And he must needs pass through Samaria. So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph: and Jacob’s [a]well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat [b]thus by the [c]well. It was about the sixth hour. There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food. The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? [d](For Jews have no dealings with 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, [e]Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou that living water? 12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle? 13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that 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 become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life. 15 The woman saith unto him, [f]Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw. 16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. 17 The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband: 18 for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said 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 neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father. 22 Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: [g]for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers. 24 [h]God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth. 25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh (he that is called Christ): when he is come, he will declare unto us all things. 26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

27 And upon this came his disciples; and they marvelled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her? 28 So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the people, 29 Come, see a man, who told me all things that ever I did: can this be the Christ? 30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him. 31 In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat. 32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not. 33 The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him aught to eat? 34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work. 35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are [i]white already unto harvest. 36 He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. 37 For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. 38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not labored: others have labored, and ye are entered into their labor.

39 And from that city many of the Samaritans believed on him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all things that ever I did. 40 So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them: and he abode 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 thy speaking: for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.

43 And after the two days he went forth from thence into Galilee. 44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honor in his own country. 45 So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.

46 He came therefore again unto Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain [j]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 Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe. 49 The [k]nobleman saith unto him, [l]Sir, come down ere my child die. 50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word that Jesus spake unto him, and he went his way. 51 And as he was now going down, his [m]servants met him, saying, that his son lived. 52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to amend. They said therefore unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. 53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house. 54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judaea into Galilee.

Jesus Talks With a Samaritan Woman

Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John(A) although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. So he left Judea(B) and went back once more to Galilee.

Now he had to go through Samaria.(C) So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.(D) Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.

When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?”(E) (His disciples had gone into the town(F) to buy food.)

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.
