1. Jesus knew the proud religious law-keepers had heard He was making and baptizing more followers than John.
|
1. When G5613 therefore G3767 the G3588 Lord G2962 knew G1097 how G3754 the G3588 Pharisees G5330 had heard G191 that G3754 Jesus G2424 made G4160 and G2532 baptized G907 more G4119 disciples G3101 than G2228 John G2491 ,
|
|
2. Jesus did not baptize anyone Himself but His followers did.
|
2. ( Though G2544 Jesus G2424 himself G846 baptized G907 not G3756 , but G235 his G846 disciples G3101 ,)
|
|
3. Then Jesus went from the country of Judea to the country of Galilee.
|
3. He left G863 Judea G2449 , and G2532 departed G565 again G3825 into G1519 Galilee G1056 .
|
|
4. He had to go through the country of Samaria.
|
4. And G1161 he G846 must needs G1163 go G1330 through G1223 Samaria G4540 .
|
|
5. So He came to a town in Samaria called Sycar. It was near the piece of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
|
5. Then G3767 cometh G2064 he to G1519 a city G4172 of Samaria G4540 , which is called G3004 Sychar G4965 , near G4139 to the G3588 parcel of ground G5564 that G3739 Jacob G2384 gave G1325 to his G848 son G5207 Joseph G2501 .
|
|
6. Jacob's well was there. Jesus was tired from traveling so He sat down just as He was by the well. It was about noon.
|
6. Now G1161 Jacob G2384 's well G4077 was G2258 there G1563 . Jesus G2424 therefore G3767 , being wearied G2872 with G1537 his journey G3597 , sat G2516 thus G3779 on G1909 the G3588 well G4077 : and it was G2258 about G5616 the sixth G1623 hour G5610 .
|
|
7. A woman of Samaria came to get water. Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink."
|
7. There cometh G2064 a woman G1135 of G1537 Samaria G4540 to draw G501 water G5204 : Jesus G2424 saith G3004 unto her G846 , Give G1325 me G3427 to drink G4095 .
|
|
8. His followers had gone to the town to buy food.
|
8. ( For G1063 his G846 disciples G3101 were gone away G565 unto G1519 the G3588 city G4172 to G2443 buy G59 meat G5160 .)
|
|
9. The woman of Samaria said to Him, "You are a Jew. I am of Samaria. Why do You ask me for a drink when the Jews have nothing to do with the people of Samaria?"
|
9. Then G3767 saith G3004 the G3588 woman G1135 of Samaria G4542 unto him G846 , How G4459 is it that thou G4771 , being G5607 a Jew G2453 , askest G154 drink G4095 of G3844 me G1700 , which am G5607 a woman G1135 of Samaria G4542 ? for G1063 the Jews G2453 have no dealings G4798 G3756 with the Samaritans G4541 .
|
|
10. Jesus said to her, "You do not know what God has to give. You do not know Who said to you, 'Give Me a drink.' If you knew, you would have asked Him. He would have given you living water."
|
10. Jesus G2424 answered G611 and G2532 said G2036 unto her G846 , If G1487 thou knewest G1492 the G3588 gift G1431 of God G2316 , and G2532 who G5101 it is G2076 that saith G3004 to thee G4671 , Give G1325 me G3427 to drink G4095 ; thou G4771 wouldest have asked G154 G302 of him G846 , and G2532 he would have given G1325 G302 thee G4671 living G2198 water G5204 .
|
|
11. The woman said to Him, "Sir, the well is deep. You have nothing to get water with. Where will You get the living water?
|
11. The G3588 woman G1135 saith G3004 unto him G846 , Sir G2962 , thou hast G2192 nothing G3777 to draw G502 with, and G2532 the G3588 well G5421 is G2076 deep G901 : from whence G4159 then G3767 hast G2192 thou that living G2198 water G5204 ?
|
|
12. Are You greater than our early father Jacob? He gave us the well. He and his children and his cattle drank from it."
|
12. Art G1488 thou G4771 G3361 greater G3187 than our G2257 father G3962 Jacob G2384 , which G3739 gave G1325 us G2254 the G3588 well G5421 , and G2532 drank G4095 thereof G1537 G846 himself G846 , and G2532 his G846 children G5207 , and G2532 his G846 cattle G2353 ?
|
|
13. Jesus said to her, "Whoever drinks this water will be thirsty again.
|
13. Jesus G2424 answered G611 and G2532 said G2036 unto her G846 , Whosoever G3956 drinketh G4095 of G1537 this G5127 water G5204 shall thirst G1372 again G3825 :
|
|
14. Whoever drinks the water that I will give him will never be thirsty. The water that I will give him will become in him a well of life that lasts forever."
|
14. But G1161 whosoever G3739 G302 drinketh G4095 of G1537 the G3588 water G5204 that G3739 I G1473 shall give G1325 him G846 shall never G3364 G1519 G165 thirst G1372 ; but G235 the G3588 water G5204 that G3739 I shall give G1325 him G846 shall be G1096 in G1722 him G846 a well G4077 of water G5204 springing up G242 into G1519 everlasting G166 life G2222 .
|
|
15. The woman said, "Sir, give me this water so I will never be thirsty. Then I will not have to come all this way for water."
|
15. The G3588 woman G1135 saith G3004 unto G4314 him G846 , Sir G2962 , give G1325 me G3427 this G5124 water G5204 , that G2443 I thirst G1372 not G3361 , neither G3366 come G2064 hither G1759 to draw G501 .
|
|
16. Jesus said to her, "Go call your husband and come back."
|
16. Jesus G2424 saith G3004 unto her G846 , Go G5217 , call G5455 thy G4675 husband G435 , and G2532 come G2064 hither G1759 .
|
|
17. The woman said, "I have no husband." Jesus said, "You told the truth when you said, 'I have no husband.'
|
17. The G3588 woman G1135 answered G611 and G2532 said G2036 , I have G2192 no G3756 husband G435 . Jesus G2424 said G3004 unto her G846 , Thou hast well G2573 said G2036 , I have G2192 no G3756 husband G435 :
|
|
18. You have had five husbands. The one you have now is not your husband. You told the truth."
|
18. For G1063 thou hast had G2192 five G4002 husbands G435 ; and G2532 he whom G3739 thou now G3568 hast G2192 is G2076 not G3756 thy G4675 husband G435 : in that G5124 saidst G2046 thou truly G227 .
|
|
19. The woman said to Him, "Sir, I think You are a person Who speaks for God.
|
19. The G3588 woman G1135 saith G3004 unto him G846 , Sir G2962 , I perceive G2334 that G3754 thou G4771 art G1488 a prophet G4396 .
|
|
20. Our early fathers worshiped on this mountain. You Jews say Jerusalem is the place where men should worship."
|
20. Our G2257 fathers G3962 worshiped G4352 in G1722 this G5129 mountain G3735 ; and G2532 ye G5210 say G3004 , that G3754 in G1722 Jerusalem G2414 is G2076 the G3588 place G5117 where G3699 men ought G1163 to worship G4352 .
|
|
21. Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me. The time is coming when you will not worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.
|
21. Jesus G2424 saith G3004 unto her G846 , Woman G1135 , believe G4100 me G3427 G3754 , the hour G5610 cometh G2064 , when G3753 ye shall neither G3777 in G1722 this G5129 mountain G3735 , nor yet G3777 at G1722 Jerusalem G2414 , worship G4352 the G3588 Father G3962 .
|
|
22. You people do not know what you worship. We Jews know what we worship. It is through the Jews that men are saved from the punishment of their sins.
|
22. Ye G5210 worship G4352 ye know G1492 not G3756 what G3739 : we G2249 know G1492 what G3739 we worship G4352 : for G3754 salvation G4991 is G2076 of G1537 the G3588 Jews G2453 .
|
|
23. The time is coming, yes, it is here now, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father wants that kind of worshipers.
|
23. But G235 the hour G5610 cometh G2064 , and G2532 now G3568 is G2076 , when G3753 the G3588 true G228 worshipers G4353 shall worship G4352 the G3588 Father G3962 in G1722 spirit G4151 and G2532 in truth G225 : for G1063 the G3588 Father G3962 G2532 seeketh G2212 such G5108 to worship G4352 him G846 .
|
|
24. God is Spirit. Those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth."
|
24. God G2316 is a Spirit G4151 : and G2532 they that worship G4352 him G846 must G1163 worship G4352 him in G1722 spirit G4151 and G2532 in truth G225 .
|
|
25. The woman said to Him, "I know the Jews are looking for One Who is coming. He is called the Christ. When He comes, He will tell us everything."
|
25. The G3588 woman G1135 saith G3004 unto him G846 , I know G1492 that G3754 Messiah G3323 cometh G2064 , which is called G3004 Christ G5547 : when G3752 he G1565 is come G2064 , he will tell G312 us G2254 all things G3956 .
|
|
26. Jesus said to her, "I am the Christ, the One talking with you!"
|
26. Jesus G2424 saith G3004 unto her G846 , I G1473 that speak G2980 unto thee G4671 am G1510 he.
|
|
27. Right then the followers came back and were surprised and wondered about finding Him talking with a woman. But no one said, "What do You want?" or, "Why are You talking with her?"
|
27. And G2532 upon G1909 this G5129 came G2064 his G846 disciples G3101 , and G2532 marveled G2296 that G3754 he talked G2980 with G3326 the woman G1135 : yet G3305 no man G3762 said G2036 , What G5101 seekest G2212 thou? or G2228 , Why G5101 talkest G2980 thou with G3326 her G846 ?
|
|
28. The woman left her water jar and went into the town. She said to the men,
|
28. The G3588 woman G1135 then G3767 left G863 her G848 waterpot G5201 , and G2532 went her way G565 into G1519 the G3588 city G4172 , and G2532 saith G3004 to the G3588 men G444 ,
|
|
29. "Come and see a Man Who told me everything I ever did! Can this be the Christ?"
|
29. Come G1205 , see G1492 a man G444 , which G3739 told G2036 me G3427 all things G3956 that ever G3745 I did G4160 : is G2076 not G3385 this G3778 the G3588 Christ G5547 ?
|
|
30. They went out of town and came to Him.
|
30. Then G3767 they went G1831 out of G1537 the G3588 city G4172 , and G2532 came G2064 unto G4314 him G846 .
|
|
31. During this time His followers were saying to Him, "Teacher, eat something."
|
31. G1161 In G1722 the G3588 mean while G3342 his disciples G3101 prayed G2065 him G846 , saying G3004 , Master G4461 , eat G5315 .
|
|
32. He said, "I have food to eat that you do not know of."
|
32. But G1161 he G3588 said G2036 unto them G846 , I G1473 have G2192 meat G1035 to eat G5315 that G3739 ye G5210 know G1492 not G3756 of.
|
|
33. The followers said to each other, "Has someone taken food to Him?"
|
33. Therefore G3767 said G3004 the G3588 disciples G3101 one to another G240 G4314 , Hath any man G3387 brought G5342 him G846 aught to eat G5315 ?
|
|
34. Jesus said, "My food is to do what God wants Me to do and to finish His work.
|
34. Jesus G2424 saith G3004 unto them G846 , My G1699 meat G1033 is G2076 to G2443 do G4160 the G3588 will G2307 of him that sent G3992 me G3165 , and G2532 to finish G5048 his G846 work G2041 .
|
|
35. Do you not say, 'It is four months yet until the time to gather grain'? Listen! I say to you, open your eyes and look at the fields. They are white now and waiting for the grain to be gathered in.
|
35. Say G3004 not G3756 ye G5210 , There are G2076 yet G2089 four months G5072 , and G2532 then cometh G2064 harvest G2326 ? behold G2400 , I say G3004 unto you G5213 , Lift up G1869 your G5216 eyes G3788 , and G2532 look on G2300 the G3588 fields G5561 ; for G3754 they are G1526 white G3022 already G2235 to G4314 harvest G2326 .
|
|
36. The one who gathers gets his pay. He gathers fruit that lasts forever. The one who plants and the one who gathers will have joy together.
|
36. And G2532 he that reapeth G2325 receiveth G2983 wages G3408 , and G2532 gathereth G4863 fruit G2590 unto G1519 life G2222 eternal G166 : that G2443 both G2532 he that soweth G4687 and G2532 he that reapeth G2325 may rejoice G5463 together G3674 .
|
|
37. These words are true, 'One man plants and another man gathers.'
|
37. And G1063 herein G1722 G5129 is G2076 that saying G3056 true G228 , One G243 soweth G4687 , and G2532 another G243 reapeth G2325 .
|
|
38. I sent you to gather where you have not planted. Others have planted and you have come along to gather in their fruit."
|
38. I G1473 sent G649 you G5209 to reap G2325 that whereon G3739 ye G5210 bestowed no labor G2872 G3756 : other men G243 labored G2872 , and G2532 ye G5210 are entered G1525 into G1519 their G846 labors G2873 .
|
|
39. Many people in that town of Samaria believed in Jesus because of what the woman said about Him. She said, "He told me everything I ever did."
|
39. And G1161 many G4183 of the G3588 Samaritans G4541 of G1537 that G1565 city G4172 believed G4100 on G1519 him G846 for G1223 the G3588 saying G3056 of the G3588 woman G1135 , which testified G3140 , He told G2036 me G3427 all G3956 that ever G3745 I did G4160 .
|
|
40. So the people of Samaria came to Him. They asked Him to stay with them. Jesus stayed there two days.
|
40. So G3767 when G5613 the G3588 Samaritans G4541 were come G2064 unto G4314 him G846 , they besought G2065 him G846 that he would tarry G3306 with G3844 them G846 : and G2532 he abode G3306 there G1563 two G1417 days G2250 .
|
|
41. Many more people believed because of what He said.
|
41. And G2532 many G4183 more G4119 believed G4100 because G1223 of his own G846 word G3056 ;
|
|
42. They said to the woman, "Now we believe! It is no longer because of what you said about Jesus but we have heard Him ourselves. We know, for sure, that He is the Christ, the One Who saves men of this world from the punishment of their sins."
|
42. And G5037 said G3004 unto the G3588 woman G1135 , Now G3765 we believe G4100 , not because G1223 of thy G4674 saying G2981 : for G1063 we have heard G191 him ourselves G846 , and G2532 know G1492 that G3754 this G3778 is G2076 indeed G230 the G3588 Christ G5547 , the G3588 Savior G4990 of the G3588 world G2889 .
|
|
43. Two days later He went from there and came to the country of Galilee.
|
43. Now G1161 after G3326 two G1417 days G2250 he departed G1831 thence G1564 , and G2532 went G565 into G1519 Galilee G1056 .
|
|
44. Jesus Himself said that no one who speaks for God is respected in his own country.
|
44. For G1063 Jesus G2424 himself G846 testified G3140 , that G3754 a prophet G4396 hath G2192 no G3756 honor G5092 in G1722 his own G2398 country G3968 .
|
|
45. When He came to Galilee, the people there were glad. They had seen all the things He did in Jerusalem. It was at the time of the special religious gathering to remember how the Jews left Egypt. They had been there also.
|
45. Then G3767 when G3753 he was come G2064 into G1519 Galilee G1056 , the G3588 Galilaeans G1057 received G1209 him G846 , having seen G3708 all the things G3956 that G3739 he did G4160 at G1722 Jerusalem G2414 at G1722 the G3588 feast G1859 : for G1063 they G846 also G2532 went G2064 unto G1519 the G3588 feast G1859 .
|
|
46. Jesus came again to the town of Cana of Galilee where He had made water into wine. A man who worked with the king had a son who was sick in the city of Capernaum.
|
46. So G3767 Jesus G2424 came G2064 again G3825 into G1519 Cana G2580 of Galilee G1056 , where G3699 he made G4160 the G3588 water G5204 wine G3631 . And G2532 there was G2258 a certain G5100 nobleman G937 , whose G3739 son G5207 was sick G770 at G1722 Capernaum G2584 .
|
|
47. This man went to Jesus. He had heard that Jesus had come from the country of Judea to Galilee. The man asked Jesus if He would go to Capernaum and heal his son who was dying.
|
47. When he G3778 heard G191 that G3754 Jesus G2424 was come G2240 out of G1537 Judea G2449 into G1519 Galilee G1056 , he went G565 unto G4314 him G846 , and G2532 besought G2065 him G846 that G2443 he would come down G2597 , and G2532 heal G2390 his G846 son G5207 : for G1063 he was at the point of death G3195 G599 .
|
|
48. Then Jesus said to him, "Unless you see special things and powerful works done, you will not believe."
|
48. Then G3767 said G2036 Jesus G2424 unto G4314 him G846 , Except G3362 ye see G1492 signs G4592 and G2532 wonders G5059 , ye will not G3364 believe G4100 .
|
|
49. The man said to Him, "Sir, come with me before my son dies."
|
49. The G3588 nobleman G937 saith G3004 unto G4314 him G846 , Sir G2962 , come down G2597 ere G4250 my G3450 child G3813 die G599 .
|
|
50. Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your son will live." The man put his trust in what Jesus said and left.
|
50. Jesus G2424 saith G3004 unto him G846 , Go thy way G4198 ; thy G4675 son G5207 liveth G2198 . And G2532 the G3588 man G444 believed G4100 the G3588 word G3056 that G3739 Jesus G2424 had spoken G2036 unto him G846 , and G2532 he went his way G4198 .
|
|
51. As he was on his way home, his servants met him. They said to him, "Your son is living!"
|
51. And G1161 as he G846 was now G2235 going down G2597 , his G846 servants G1401 met G528 him G846 , and G2532 told G518 him, saying G3004 , Thy G4675 son G3816 liveth G2198 .
|
|
52. He asked them what time his boy began to get well. They said to him, "Yesterday at one o'clock the sickness left."
|
52. Then G3767 inquired G4441 he of G3844 them G846 the G3588 hour G5610 when G1722 G3739 he began to amend G2192 G2866 . And G2532 they said G2036 unto him G846 , Yesterday G5504 at the seventh G1442 hour G5610 the G3588 fever G4446 left G863 him G846 .
|
|
53. The father knew it was the time Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live." He and everyone in his house put their trust in Jesus.
|
53. So G3767 the G3588 father G3962 knew G1097 that G3754 it was at G1722 the same G1565 hour G5610 , in G1722 the which G3739 Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto him G846 , Thy G4675 son G5207 liveth G2198 : and G2532 himself G846 believed G4100 , and G2532 his G846 whole G3650 house G3614 .
|
|
54. This was the second powerful work that Jesus did after He came from the country of Judea to the country of Galilee.
|
54. This G5124 is again G3825 the second G1208 miracle G4592 that Jesus G2424 did G4160 , when he was come G2064 out of G1537 Judea G2449 into G1519 Galilee G1056 .
