Haitian Creole Version
2 ¶ De jou apre sa, te gen yon maryaj lavil Kana nan peyi Galile. Manman Jez te la,
2 yo te envite Jezi ak disip li yo nan nòs la tou.
3 Rive yon lè pa t' gen diven ankò. Manman Jezi di l' konsa: Yo pa gen diven ankò non.
4 Men Jezi reponn li: Nan kisa mwen ye avè ou, madanm? Lè pa m' lan poko rive.
5 Lè sa a, manman Jezi di moun ki t'ap sèvi yo: Fè tou sa l' di nou fè.
6 Te gen sis gwo ja fèt an wòch ki te sèvi pou jwif yo lave kò yo dapre koutim yo. Yo te gwo ase pou chak te kenbe vin trant galon konsa.
7 Jezi di moun ki t'ap sèvi yo: Plen ja yo dlo. Yo plen yo ra bouch.
8 Lè yo fini, Jezi di yo: Pran ti gout nan dlo sa a, pote bay chèf kanbiz la goute. Yo pote ti gout bay chèf kanbiz la.
9 Chèf kanbiz la goute dlo ki te tounen diven an. Li pa t' konnen ki bò diven sa a te soti. (Men, domestik yo ki te pran dlo a te konnen.) Li rele nonm ki t'ap marye a,
10 li di li konsa: Tout moun sèvi pi bon diven an anvan. Se apre tout envite yo fin sou, se lè sa a yo sèvi diven ki pa twò bon an. Men ou menm, ou te sere pi bon diven an. Se koulye a w'ap sèvi l'.
11 Se konsa Jezi te fè premye mirak li lavil Kana nan peyi Galile. Li te fè wè pouvwa li. Sa te fè disip li yo kwè nan li.
12 ¶ Apre sa, li ale lavil Kapènawòm ansanm ak manman l', frè l' yo ak disip li yo. Yo pase de twa jou la.
13 Fèt Delivrans jwif yo te vanse rive. Se konsa Jezi moute Jerizalèm.
14 Li jwenn yon bann moun nan tanp lan ki t'ap vann bèf, mouton ak pijon. Gen lòt menm ki te chita dèyè tab yo ap chanje lajan.
15 Li pran kèk kòd, li mare yo ansanm, li fè yon fwèt ak yo. Epi li mete tout moun yo deyò nan tanp lan ansanm ak tout mouton yo ak tout bèf yo. Li chavire tab moun ki t'ap chanje lajan yo, li jete tout kòb yo atè.
16 Li di moun ki t'ap vann pijon yo: Wete sa la. Pa fè kay Papa m' lan tounen yon boutik kote yo fè komès.
17 Disip li yo vin chonje pawòl sa yo ki te ekri nan Liv la: O Bondye, mwen sitèlman renmen kay ou a, mwen santi se tankou yon dife k'ap boule tout anndan mwen.
18 Jwif yo mande li: Ki mirak ou ka fè pou moutre nou ou gen dwa fè sa w'ap fè la a?
19 Jezi reponn yo: Kraze tanp sa a koulye a. Nan twa jou m'ap rebati l' ban nou.
20 Jwif yo di li: Yo pran karannsizan pou yo bati tanp sa a, pou ou menm, pou ou ta pran twa sèl jou pou rebati li?
21 Men Jezi li menm, lè l' t'ap di mo tanp lan se pwòp kò li li te gen nan tèt li.
22 Lè Jezi leve soti vivan nan lanmò, disip li yo vin chonje li te di sa. Se konsa yo te kwè sa ki te ekri nan Liv la ansanm ak tout pawòl Jezi te di yo.
23 ¶ Pandan Jezi te Jerizalèm pou fèt Delivrans lan anpil moun te kwè nan li lè yo te wè mirak li t'ap fè.
24 Men, Jezi pa t' fè okenn ladan yo konfyans, paske li te konnen yo tout byen.
25 Li pa t' bezwen moun te di l' anyen sou pesonn, paske li menm li te konnen sa ki nan kè yo.
3 ¶ Te gen yon nonm yo te rele Nikodèm ki te fè pati gwoup farizyen yo. Se te yonn nan chèf jwif yo.
2 Yon jou lannwit, li vin bò kot Jezi, li di l' konsa: Mèt, nou konnen se Bondye ki voye ou moutre nou tout bagay sa yo. Paske, pesonn pa ka fè tout mirak w'ap fè yo si Bondye pa avèk li.
3 Jezi reponn li: Sa m'ap di ou la a, se vre wi: Pesonn pa kapab wè Pèyi kote Bondye Wa a si li pa fèt yon dezyèm fwa.
4 Nikodèm di li: Ki jan yon nonm ki fin granmoun ka fèt yon dezyèm fwa? Li pa ka tounen nan vant manman l', pou l' fèt yon lòt fwa ankò.
5 Jezi reponn li: Sa m'ap di ou la a, se vre wi: Pesonn pa ka antre nan Peyi kote Bondye Wa a si li pa fèt nan dlo ak nan Sentespri.
6 Lachè soti nan lachè, lespri soti nan Lespri Bondye.
7 Pa sezi si mwen di ou: se pou nou fèt yon dezyèm fwa.
8 Van an soufle kote l' vle. Ou tande bri l'ap fè. Men, ou pa konnen ki bò l' soti, ni ki bò l' prale. Se menm jan an pou tout moun ki fèt nan Lespri Bondye.
9 Lè sa a Nikodèm di li: Ki jan sa ka fèt menm?
10 Jezi reponn li: Ou se yon gwo mèt k'ap moutre pèp Izrayèl la anpil bagay, epi ou pa konn bagay sa yo?
11 Sa m'ap di ou la a, se vre wi: mwen menm, mwen pale sa m' konnen, mwen di sa m' te wè. Men nou menm, nou pa vle asepte sa m'ap di a.
12 Nou pa kwè m' lè m'ap pale nou bagay k'ap pase isit sou latè. Ki jan n'a fè kwè m' lè m'a pale nou bagay k'ap pase nan syèl la?
13 Pesonn pa janm moute nan syèl la, esepte Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a ki desann soti nan syèl la.
14 Menm jan Moyiz te leve sèpan ki te fèt an bwonz lan byen wo sou yon poto nan mitan dezè a, konsa tou yo gen pou yo leve Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a byen wo tou.
15 Tout moun ki mete konfyans yo nan li va gen lavi ki p'ap janm fini an.
16 Paske, Bondye sitèlman renmen lèzòm li bay sèl Pitit li a pou yo. Tout moun ki va mete konfyans yo nan li p'ap pedi lavi yo. Okontrè y'a gen lavi ki p'ap janm fini an.
17 Bondye pa voye Pitit li a sou latè pou kondannen lèzòm, men pito pou l' te kapab delivre yo.
18 Moun ki mete konfyans yo nan Pitit Bondye a p'ap kondannen. Men, moun ki pa kwè nan li, yo deja kondannen, paske yo pa t' gen konfyans nan sèl Pitit Bondye a.
19 Men ki bò kondannasyon an soti pou yo: limyè a te vini nan lemonn, men lèzòm te pito fènwa a pase limyè a, paske sa y'ap fè a mal.
20 Lè yon moun ap fè sa ki mal, li pa vle wè limyè a, li p'ap vini kote limyè a ye, paske li pè pou move zak li yo pa parèt aklè.
21 Men, moun ki fè sa ki bon vre, se nan limyè a menm l'ap vini, pou moun ka wè aklè se obeyi l'ap obeyi Bondye nan sa l'ap fè a.
22 ¶ Apre sa, Jezi ale ansanm ak disip li yo nan peyi Jide. Li rete kèk tan la ak yo, li t'ap batize moun.
23 Jan Batis menm t'ap batize moun tou nan Enon, toupre Salim, paske te gen anpil dlo la. Anpil moun te vin jwenn li la pou l' li te batize yo.
24 (Lè sa a, yo pa t' ankò mete Jan Batis nan prizon.)
25 De twa nan patizan Jan yo tonbe diskite ak yon jwif sou regleman relijyon an ki mande pou moun lave kò yo.
26 Y' ale bò kot Jan, yo di l' konsa: Mèt, ou chonje nonm ki te avè ou lòt bò larivyè Jouden an, moun ou t'ap pale nou an? Enben, l'ap batize koulye a. Tout moun al jwenn li.
27 Jan reponn yo: Pesonn pa ka gen anyen si se pa Bondye nan syèl la ki ba li li.
28 Nou menm, nou ka di mwen te di nou sa: Se pa mwen ki Kris la, se voye Bondye voye m' pran devan li.
29 Nan yon maryaj, lamarye se pou nonm k'ap marye a. Zanmi nonm k'ap marye a kanpe toupre l', l'ap koute. Li pa manke kontan lè li tande vwa nonm k'ap marye a. Se konsa, mwen menm, mwen kontan nèt koulye a.
30 Li fèt pou li vin pi gran, pou mwen menm, mwen vin pi piti toujou.
31 Moun ki soti anwo a pi gran pase nou tout. Moun ki soti sou latè, se pou latè li ye, l'ap pale nou bagay ki sou latè. Moun ki soti anwo nan syèl la, li pi wo pase nou tout.
32 L'ap di sa l' wè, sa l' tande. Men, pesonn pa asepte mesaj li.
33 Moun ki asepte sa l'ap di a, li rekonèt sa Bondye di a se vre.
34 Moun Bondye voye a, se pawòl Bondye l'ap pale, paske Bondye ba li Sentespri san mezi.
35 Papa a renmen Pitit la, li ba li pouvwa sou tout bagay.
36 Moun ki mete konfyans yo nan Pitit la, yo gen lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. Moun ki desobeyi Pitit la, yo p'ap gen lavi sa a. Se kòlè Bondye k'ap tonbe sou yo.
4 ¶ Farizyen yo tande Jezi t'ap fè plis patizan pase Jan, li t'ap batize plis moun pase l' tou.
2 (Men, pou di vre, Jezi pa t' janm batize pesonn. Se disip li yo ki t'ap batize.)
3 Lè Jezi vin konn sa, li kite peyi Jide, li tounen nan peyi Galile.
4 ¶ Sou wout la, fòk li te pase nan mitan peyi Samari.
5 Li rive nan yon bouk Samari yo rele Sika, toupre moso tè Jakòb te bay Jozèf, pitit gason l' lan.
6 Se la pi Jakòb la te ye. Jezi menm te bouke, vwayaj la te fatige l' anpil. Li chita sou rebò pi a. Li te bò midi konsa.
7 Yon fanm peyi Samari vin pou tire dlo. Jezi di l' konsa: Tanpri, ban m' ti gout dlo pou m' bwè.
8 (Disip li yo te ale lavil la achte manje.)
9 Fanm Samari a di Jezi konsa: Kouman? Se pa jwif ou ye? Ki jan ou fè mande m' dlo pou ou bwè, mwen menm ki moun Samari? (Paske, jwif yo pa t' gen rapò ak moun Samari.)
10 Jezi reponn li: Si ou te konnen sa Bondye bay la, si ou te konnen ki moun k'ap mande ou ti gout dlo pou bwè a, se ou menm ki ta mande l' ba ou ti gout dlo bwè. Lè sa a, li ta ka ba ou nan dlo ki bay lavi a.
11 Fanm lan di li: Msye, ou pa gen veso pou tire dlo. Epitou, pi a fon anpil. Ki bò pou ou ta jwenn dlo ki bay lavi sa a?
12 Se Jakòb, zansèt nou, ki te ban nou pi sa a. Li te bwè ladan li. Tout pitit li yo ansanm ak tout bèt li yo, se la yo te bwè tou. Koulye a, ou prèt pou di m' ou pi gran pase Jakòb?
13 Jezi reponn li: Tout moun ki bwè dlo sa a gen pou l' swaf dlo ankò.
14 Men, moun ki va bwè nan dlo m'ap ba li a, li p'ap janm swaf dlo ankò. Paske, dlo m'ap ba li a ap tounen yon sous dlo nan li k'ap ba li lavi ki p'ap janm fini an.
15 Fanm lan di l': Tanpri, msye, ban m' ti gout nan dlo sa a non pou m' bwè, konsa mwen p'ap janm anvi bwè dlo ankò, mwen p'ap bezwen tounen isit la vin tire dlo.
16 Jezi di l' konsa: Ale rele mari ou. Apre sa, tounen vin jwenn mwen isit la.
17 Fanmi lan reponn: Mwen pa gen mari. Jezi di l' konsa: Ou gen rezon di ou pa gen mari.
18 Paske, ou pase senk mari deja. Epi nonm k'ap viv avè ou koulye a, se pa mari ou li ye. Ou pa ban m' manti.
19 Lè sa a, fanm lan di l': Gen lè ou se yon pwofèt, msye?
20 Zansèt nou yo nan peyi Samari te sèvi Bondye sou mòn sa a. Men nou menm jwif, nou di: Sèl kote pou moun sèvi Bondye, se lavil Jerizalèm.
21 Jezi reponn li: Madanm, ou mèt kwè mwen. Lè a pral rive, se pa ni sou mòn sa a, ni lavil Jerizalèm pou n' sèvi Papa a.
22 Nou menm, moun Samari, nou pa konnen sa n'ap sèvi a. Nou menm jwif, nou konnen sa n'ap sèvi a, paske moun k'ap vin pou sove a, se nan mitan jwif yo l'ap soti.
23 Men, lè a ap rive, li rive deja: tout moun k'ap sèvi tout bon yo pral sèvi Papa a nan kè yo jan sa dwe fèt. Se moun konsa Bondye vle pou sèvi li.
24 Bondye, se Lespri li ye. Tout moun k'ap sèvi l', se pou yo sèvi l' nan lespri yo jan sa dwe fèt la.
25 Fanm lan di li: Mwen konnen Mesi a, moun yo rele Kris la, gen pou l' vini tou. Lè la vini, la esplike nou tout bagay sa yo.
26 Jezi reponn li: Mwen menm k'ap pale avè ou la a, mwen se Kris la.
27 ¶ Lè sa a, disip Jezi yo vin rive. Yo te sezi wè l' ap pale ak yon fanm. Men, yo yonn pa mande l': Kisa ou gen avèk li? Osinon: Poukisa w'ap pale avè li?
28 Fanm lan menm kite krich dlo a la, li tounen li al lavil la. Li di moun yo:
29 Vini wè yon nonm ki di m' tou sa m' fè. Eske nou pa kwè se Kris la?
30 Moun yo soti lavil la, yo vin jwenn Jezi.
31 Disip yo menm, bò pa yo, t'ap mande Jezi pou l' manje. Yo t'ap di l': Tanpri, Mèt, manje kichòy non!
32 Men, li reponn yo: Mwen gen pou m' manje yon manje nou pa konnen.
33 Lè sa a, disip yo yonn pran mande lòt: Gen lè yon moun pote manje ba li.
34 Jezi di yo: Manje pa m', se fè volonte moun ki voye m' lan; se pou m' fin fè travay li ban m' fè a.
35 Nou menm, nou di: Nan kat mwa ankò nou pral fè rekòt. Mwen menm, mwen di nou: Gade jaden yo byen. Grenn yo fin mi, yo tou bon pou ranmase.
36 Yo gen tan peye moun k'ap ranmase rekòt la, l'ap anpile grenn yo pou lavi ki p'ap janm fini an. Se konsa, moun k'ap simen an kontan; moun k'ap ranmase a kontan tou ansanm avèk li.
37 Sa pawòl la di a, se vre wi: Moun ki simen an, se pa li ki ranmase.
38 Mwen voye nou ranmase nan yon jaden nou pa t' travay. Se lòt moun ki te travay li. Men, se nou menm k'ap pwofite travay yo.
39 Anpil moun Samari ki te rete nan Sika te kwè nan Jezi poutèt sa madanm lan te di yo: Li di m' tou sa m' fè.
40 Se konsa, lè yo rive bò kote li, yo mande l' pou l' rete avèk yo. Jezi pase de jou nan lavil la.
41 Te gen anpil lòt moun ankò ki te kwè nan li, poutèt sa Jezi menm t'ap di yo.
42 Yo di fanm lan konsa: Koulye a nou kwè, se pa sèlman poutèt sa ou rakonte nou an, men tou paske nou tande l' nou menm ak de zòrèy nou. Nou konnen se li menm vre ki vin delivre moun sou latè.
43 ¶ Lè Jezi fin pase de jou sa yo la, li pati, li ale nan peyi Galile.
44 Paske, se Jezi menm ki te di: Yo pa janm respekte yon pwofèt nan peyi kote l' soti.
45 Lè li rive nan Galile, moun Galile yo te byen resevwa l', paske yo menm tou yo te al lavil Jerizalèm pou fèt Delivrans lan, yo te wè tou sa li te fè lè sa a.
46 Apre sa, Jezi tounen vin Kana nan Galile, kote li te fè dlo tounen diven an. Nan lavil la te gen yon gwo fonksyonè leta ki te gen yon pitit gason l' ki te malad nan yon lòt lavil yo rele Kapènawòm.
47 Lè li vin konnen Jezi te soti peyi Jide vin nan peyi Galile, li al jwenn li, li mande l' pou li al Kapènawòm geri pitit li a ki te prèt pou mouri.
48 Jezi di l' konsa: Si nou pa wè mirak ak bèl bagay, nou p'ap janm kwè.
49 Fonksyonè a reponn li: Mèt, vin avè m' non, anvan pitit mwen an gen tan mouri.
50 Jezi di li: Ou mèt al lakay ou. Pitit ou a p'ap mouri. Nonm lan kwè sa Jezi te di l' la, li ale.
51 Li te sou wout lakay li toujou lè domestik li yo vin jwenn li avèk nouvèl sa a: Pitit ou a pa mouri.
52 Li mande yo: Kilè ti gason an refè? Yo reponn li: Yè apremidi, bò enè konsa, lafyèb la tonbe.
53 Papa a vin rekonèt se te lè sa a menm Jezi te di l': Pitit gason ou lan p'ap mouri. Se konsa li menm ansanm ak tout moun lakay li yo kwè nan Jezi.
54 Sa te fè dezyèm mirak Jezi te fè lè l' tounen soti Jide vini nan peyi Galile.
John 2-4
New International Version
John 2-4
New International Version
Jesus Changes Water Into Wine
2 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee.(A) Jesus’ mother(B) was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
4 “Woman,[a](C) why do you involve me?”(D) Jesus replied. “My hour(E) has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”(F)
6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing,(G) each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.[b]
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.
8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”
They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine.(H) He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”
11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs(I) through which he revealed his glory;(J) and his disciples believed in him.(K)
12 After this he went down to Capernaum(L) with his mother(M) and brothers(N) and his disciples. There they stayed for a few days.
Jesus Clears the Temple Courts(O)
13 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover,(P) Jesus went up to Jerusalem.(Q) 14 In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves,(R) and others sitting at tables exchanging money.(S) 15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16 To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house(T) into a market!” 17 His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”[c](U)
18 The Jews(V) then responded to him, “What sign(W) can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”(X)
19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”(Y)
20 They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” 21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body.(Z) 22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said.(AA) Then they believed the scripture(AB) and the words that Jesus had spoken.
23 Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival,(AC) many people saw the signs(AD) he was performing and believed(AE) in his name.[d] 24 But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people. 25 He did not need any testimony about mankind,(AF) for he knew what was in each person.(AG)
Jesus Teaches Nicodemus
3 Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus(AH) who was a member of the Jewish ruling council.(AI) 2 He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi,(AJ) we know(AK) that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs(AL) you are doing if God were not with him.”(AM)
3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.[e]”(AN)
4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”
5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.(AO) 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[f] gives birth to spirit.(AP) 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You[g] must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”[h](AQ)
9 “How can this be?”(AR) Nicodemus asked.
10 “You are Israel’s teacher,”(AS) said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things? 11 Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know,(AT) and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony.(AU) 12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? 13 No one has ever gone into heaven(AV) except the one who came from heaven(AW)—the Son of Man.[i](AX) 14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness,(AY) so the Son of Man must be lifted up,[j](AZ) 15 that everyone who believes(BA) may have eternal life in him.”[k](BB)
16 For God so loved(BC) the world that he gave(BD) his one and only Son,(BE) that whoever believes(BF) in him shall not perish but have eternal life.(BG) 17 For God did not send his Son into the world(BH) to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.(BI) 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned,(BJ) but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.(BK) 19 This is the verdict: Light(BL) has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.(BM) 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.(BN) 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
John Testifies Again About Jesus
22 After this, Jesus and his disciples went out into the Judean countryside, where he spent some time with them, and baptized.(BO) 23 Now John(BP) also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because there was plenty of water, and people were coming and being baptized. 24 (This was before John was put in prison.)(BQ) 25 An argument developed between some of John’s disciples and a certain Jew over the matter of ceremonial washing.(BR) 26 They came to John and said to him, “Rabbi,(BS) that man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan—the one you testified(BT) about—look, he is baptizing, and everyone is going to him.”
27 To this John replied, “A person can receive only what is given them from heaven. 28 You yourselves can testify that I said, ‘I am not the Messiah but am sent ahead of him.’(BU) 29 The bride belongs to the bridegroom.(BV) The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete.(BW) 30 He must become greater; I must become less.”[l]
31 The one who comes from above(BX) is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth.(BY) The one who comes from heaven is above all. 32 He testifies to what he has seen and heard,(BZ) but no one accepts his testimony.(CA) 33 Whoever has accepted it has certified that God is truthful. 34 For the one whom God has sent(CB) speaks the words of God, for God[m] gives the Spirit(CC) without limit. 35 The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands.(CD) 36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life,(CE) but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.
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(CF)— 2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. 3 So he left Judea(CG) and went back once more to Galilee.
4 Now he had to go through Samaria.(CH) 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.(CI) 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?”(CJ) 8 (His disciples had gone into the town(CK) to buy food.)
9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan(CL) woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.[n])
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.”(CM)
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(CN) 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.(CO) Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water(CP) welling up to eternal life.”(CQ)
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty(CR) 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.(CS) 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain,(CT) but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”(CU)
21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming(CV) when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.(CW) 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know;(CX) we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.(CY) 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come(CZ) when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit(DA) and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit,(DB) and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ)(DC) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”(DD)
The Disciples Rejoin Jesus
27 Just then his disciples returned(DE) 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.(DF) Could this be the Messiah?”(DG) 30 They came out of the town and made their way toward him.
31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi,(DH) eat something.”
32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat(DI) 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(DJ) of him who sent me and to finish his work.(DK) 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.(DL) 36 Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests(DM) a crop for eternal life,(DN) so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. 37 Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’(DO) 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(DP) believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”(DQ) 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.”(DR)
Jesus Heals an Official’s Son
43 After the two days(DS) he left for Galilee. 44 (Now Jesus himself had pointed out that a prophet has no honor in his own country.)(DT) 45 When he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival,(DU) for they also had been there.
46 Once more he visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine.(DV) 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,(DW) 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,”(DX) 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(DY) believed.
54 This was the second sign(DZ) Jesus performed after coming from Judea to Galilee.
