John 4
English Standard Version
Jesus and the Woman of Samaria
4 Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and (A)baptizing more disciples than John 2 (although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples), 3 he left Judea and departed (B)again for Galilee. 4 (C)And he had to pass through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the field (D)that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob's well was there; so Jesus, (E)wearied as he was from his journey, was sitting beside the well. It was about the sixth hour.[a]
7 A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, (F)“Give me a drink.” 8 (For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.) 9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?” ((G)For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) 10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you (H)living water.” 11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? 12 (I)Are you greater than our father Jacob? (J)He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.” 13 Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14 but (K)whoever drinks of the water that I will give him (L)will never be thirsty again.[b] The water that I will give him will become (M)in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” 15 The woman said to him, “Sir, (N)give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, (O)call your husband, and come here.” 17 The woman answered him, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband’; 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.” 19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that (P)you are (Q)a prophet. 20 (R)Our fathers worshiped on (S)this mountain, but you say that (T)in Jerusalem is (U)the place where people ought to worship.” 21 Jesus said to her, (V)“Woman, believe me, (W)the hour is coming when (X)neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. 22 (Y)You worship what you do not know; (Z)we worship what we know, for (AA)salvation is (AB)from the Jews. 23 But (AC)the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father (AD)in spirit and (AE)truth, for the Father (AF)is seeking such people to worship him. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” 25 The woman said to him, “I know that (AG)Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, (AH)he will tell us all things.” 26 Jesus said to her, (AI)“I who speak to you am he.”
27 Just then (AJ)his disciples came back. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you seek?” or, “Why are you talking with her?” 28 So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man (AK)who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?” 30 They went out of the town and were coming to him.
31 Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, saying, (AL)“Rabbi, eat.” 32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.” 33 So the disciples said to one another, (AM)“Has anyone brought him something to eat?” 34 Jesus said to them, (AN)“My food is (AO)to do the will of him who sent me and (AP)to accomplish his work. 35 Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that (AQ)the fields are white for harvest. 36 Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that (AR)sower and (AS)reaper (AT)may rejoice together. 37 For here the saying holds true, (AU)‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap (AV)that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, (AW)and you have entered into their labor.”
39 Many Samaritans (AX)from that town believed in him (AY)because of (AZ)the woman's testimony, “He told me all that I ever did.” 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days. 41 And many more believed (BA)because of his word. 42 They said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, (BB)and we know that this is indeed (BC)the Savior (BD)of the world.”
43 After (BE)the two days he departed for Galilee. 44 (For Jesus himself had testified (BF)that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.) 45 So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, (BG)having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast. For (BH)they too had gone to the feast.
Jesus Heals an Official's Son
46 So he came again to (BI)Cana in Galilee, (BJ)where he had made the water wine. And at Capernaum there was an official whose son was ill. 47 When this man heard that Jesus (BK)had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. 48 So Jesus said to him, (BL)“Unless you[c] see signs and wonders you will not believe.” 49 The official said to him, “Sir, come down (BM)before my child dies.” 50 Jesus said to him, “Go; your son will live.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went on his way. 51 As he was going down, his servants[d] met him and told him that his son was recovering. 52 So he asked them the hour when he began to get better, and they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour[e] the fever left him.” 53 The father knew that was the hour when Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” And he himself believed, (BN)and all his household. 54 (BO)This was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea to Galilee.

It was eimi about hōs the sixth hektos hour hōra.
7 There came erchomai a woman gynē of ek · ho Samaria Samareia to draw antleō water hydōr.

How pothen then oun are you going echō to draw the ho living zaō water hydōr? · ho 12 Surely you sy are eimi not mē greater megas than ho our hēmeis father patēr Jacob Iakōb, are you , who hos gave didōmi us hēmeis the ho well phrear and kai drank pinō from ek it autos himself autos, as kai did · ho his autos sons hyios and kai · ho his autos flocks thremma?” 13 Jesus Iēsous replied apokrinomai, and kai said legō to her autos, “ Everyone pas who ho drinks pinō of ek · ho this houtos water hydōr will be thirsty dipsaō again palin, 14 but de whoever hos drinks pinō of ek the ho water hydōr that hos I egō will give didōmi him autos will never ou mē be thirsty dipsaō for eis all ho time aiōn, but alla the ho water hydōr that hos I will give didōmi him autos will become ginomai in en him autos a fountain pēgē of water hydōr gushing hallomai up to eis eternal aiōnios life zōē.” 15 The ho woman gynē said legō to pros him autos, “ Sir kyrios, give didōmi me egō this houtos · ho water hydōr, so hina that I will not mē be thirsty dipsaō or mēde have to keep coming dierchomai here enthade to draw antleō water.”
16 Jesus said legō to her autos, “ Go hypagō, call phōneō · ho your sy husband anēr, and kai come erchomai back here enthade.” 17 The ho woman gynē replied apokrinomai and kai said legō to him autos, “ I do not ou have echō a husband anēr.” Jesus Iēsous said legō to her autos, · ho “ You are right kalōs in saying legō, ‘ I do echō not ou have echō a husband anēr,’ 18 for gar you have had echō five pente husbands anēr, and kai the man hos you now nyn have echō is eimi not ou your sy husband anēr. You have spoken legō the houtos truth alēthēs.” 19 The ho woman gynē said legō to him autos, “ Sir kyrios, I can see theōreō that hoti you sy are eimi a prophet prophētēs. 20 · ho Our hēmeis fathers patēr worshiped proskyneō on en · ho this houtos mountain oros, but kai you hymeis Jews say legō that hoti the ho place topos where hopou people should dei worship proskyneō is eimi in en Jerusalem Hierosolyma.” 21 Jesus Iēsous said legō to her autos, · ho “ Believe pisteuō me egō, woman gynē, the hour hōra is coming erchomai when hote you will worship proskyneō the ho Father patēr neither oute on en · ho this houtos mountain oros nor oute in en Jerusalem Hierosolyma. 22 You hymeis Samaritans worship proskyneō what hos you do not ou know oida; we hēmeis worship proskyneō what hos we know oida, because hoti · ho salvation sōtēria is eimi from ek the ho Jews Ioudaios. 23 But alla the hour hōra is coming erchomai, and kai is eimi here nyn already , when hote · ho true alēthinos worshipers proskynētēs will worship proskyneō the ho Father patēr in en spirit pneuma and kai in truth alētheia; for gar indeed kai the ho Father patēr is seeking zēteō just toioutos such people · ho to be his autos worshipers proskyneō. 24 God theos is spirit pneuma, · ho and kai those ho who worship proskyneō him autos must dei worship proskyneō in en spirit pneuma and kai in truth alētheia.” 25 The ho woman gynē said legō to him autos, “ I know oida that hoti Messiah Messias is coming erchomai ( the ho one called legō Christ Christos).

27 · kai Just epi then houtos his autos disciples mathētēs came erchomai back. · ho · kai They were astonished thaumazō that hoti he was talking laleō with meta a woman gynē; however mentoi, no oudeis one said legō to her, “ What tis do you want zēteō?” or ē to him, “ Why tis are you talking laleō with meta her autos?” 28 Then oun the ho woman gynē left aphiēmi · ho her autos water hydria jar and kai went aperchomai off to eis the ho town polis. · kai She told legō the ho people anthrōpos there, 29 “ Come deute and see a man anthrōpos who hos told legō me egō everything pas I have ever hosos done poieō! Could mēti this houtos man be eimi the ho Messiah Christos?” 30 So they went exerchomai out of ek the ho town polis and kai made their way erchomai to pros Jesus autos.
31 In en the ho meantime metaxy the ho disciples mathētēs kept urging erōtaō Jesus autos, saying legō, “ Rabbi rhabbi, take esthiō something to eat .” 32 But de he ho said legō to them autos, “ I egō have echō food brōsis to eat esthiō of which hos you hymeis know oida nothing ou.” 33 Then oun the ho disciples mathētēs began to say legō to pros one allēlōn another , “ No mē one tis has brought pherō him autos something to eat esthiō, have they?” 34 Jesus Iēsous said legō to them autos, · ho “ My emos food brōma is eimi to hina do poieō the ho will thelēma of ho him who sent pempō me egō and kai to accomplish teleioō the ho work ergon he autos gave me to do. 35 Do you hymeis not ou say legō, ‘ There are eimi still eti four tetramēnos months and kai then comes erchomai the ho harvest therismos’? Look idou, I tell legō you hymeis, lift epairō up · ho your hymeis eyes ophthalmos and kai look theaomai at the ho fields chōra; they are eimi white leukos, ready for pros harvest therismos. 36 The ho reaper therizō is lambanō already receiving lambanō wages misthos and kai gathering synagō a crop karpos for eis eternal aiōnios life zōē, so hina that the ho sower speirō and kai the ho reaper therizō may rejoice chairō together homou. 37 For gar in en this houtos the ho saying logos is eimi true alēthinos, ‘ One allos · ho sows speirō and kai another allos · ho reaps therizō.’ 38 I egō sent apostellō you hymeis to reap therizō a crop for which hos you hymeis did not ou labor kopiaō. Others allos have done kopiaō the hard work , and kai you hymeis have reaped the benefits eiserchomai of eis · ho their autos labor kopos.”
39 Many polys of the ho Samaritans Samaritēs from ek · de · ho that ekeinos town polis believed pisteuō in eis him autos because dia of what ho the ho woman gynē had said logos when she testified martyreō, “ He told legō me egō everything pas that hos I ever did poieō.” 40 When hōs therefore oun the ho Samaritans Samaritēs came erchomai to pros him autos, they urged erōtaō him autos to stay menō with para them autos. · kai He stayed menō there ekei for two dyo days hēmera. 41 and kai many polys more polys believed pisteuō because dia of what ho they heard logos from him autos. 42 They said legō to the ho woman gynē, “ No longer ouketi is it because dia of what ho you sos said lalia that we believe pisteuō, for gar we have heard akouō him for ourselves autos, and kai we know oida that hoti this houtos man truly alēthōs is eimi the ho Savior sōtēr of the ho world kosmos.”
43 Two dyo days hēmera later meta · de · ho Jesus left exerchomai from there ekeithen and went to eis · ho Galilee Galilaia 44 ( for gar Jesus Iēsous himself autos had testified martyreō that hoti a prophet prophētēs has echō no ou honor timē in en · ho his own idios country patris). 45 When hote he arrived erchomai in eis · ho Galilee Galilaia, the ho Galileans Galilaios welcomed dechomai him autos, having seen horaō all pas that hosos he had done poieō in en Jerusalem Hierosolyma during en the ho feast heortē ( for gar they autos too kai had gone erchomai to eis the ho feast heortē).
46 So oun Jesus came erchomai again palin to eis · ho Cana Kana in ho Galilee Galilaia where hopou he had made poieō the ho water hydōr wine oinos. Now kai in en Capernaum Kapharnaoum there was eimi a certain tis officer basilikos in the royal service whose hos · ho son hyios was ill astheneō. 47 When this houtos man heard akouō that hoti Jesus Iēsous had arrived hēkō in eis Galilee Galilaia from ek · ho Judea Ioudaia, · ho he went aperchomai to pros him autos and kai begged erōtaō him to hina come katabainō down and kai heal iaomai his autos · ho son hyios; for gar he was mellō at the point of death apothnēskō. 48 Jesus Iēsous therefore oun said legō · ho to pros him autos, “ Unless ean mē you people see signs sēmeion and kai wonders teras, you will never ou mē believe pisteuō!” 49 The ho officer basilikos said legō to pros him autos, “ Sir kyrios, come katabainō down before prin my egō little boy paidion dies apothnēskō.” · ho 50 Jesus Iēsous replied legō to him autos, · ho “ Go poreuō, · ho your sy son hyios lives zaō.” The ho man anthrōpos believed pisteuō the ho word logos that hos Jesus Iēsous spoke legō to him autos, · ho and kai he set poreuō off for home. 51 While he autos was still ēdē · de on his way down katabainō · ho his autos servants met hypantaō him autos and told legō him that hoti · ho his autos son pais was living zaō. 52 So oun he asked pynthanomai them autos what ho time hōra it was when en hos his son got echō better kompsoteron, and oun they said legō to him autos, “ Yesterday echthes at the seventh hebdomos hour hōra the ho fever pyretos left aphiēmi him autos.” 53 Then oun the ho father patēr realized ginōskō that hoti it was at en that ekeinos very ho hour hōra when en hos Jesus Iēsous had said legō to him autos, · ho · ho “ Your sy son hyios lives zaō,” and kai he autos became a believer pisteuō, as kai did · ho his autos entire holos household oikia. 54 Now de this houtos was the second deuteros sign sēmeion that Jesus Iēsous performed poieō · ho after coming erchomai from ek · ho Judea Ioudaia into eis · ho Galilee Galilaia.
