Johannes 4 | King James Version
1When 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,)3He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.4And he must needs go through Samaria.5Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.6Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.7There 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.)9Then 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.10Jesus 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.11The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?12Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?13Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:14But 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.15The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.16Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.17The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:18For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.19The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.20Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.21Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.22Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.23But 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.24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.25The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.26Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.27And 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?28The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,29Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?30Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.31In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.32But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.33Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?34Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.35Say 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.36And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.37And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.38I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.39And 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.40So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.41And many more believed because of his own word;42And 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.43Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.44For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.45Then 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.46So 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.47When 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.48Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.49The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.50Jesus 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.51And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.52Then 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.53So 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.54This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
New International Reader’s Version
Jesus talks with a woman from Samaria
1Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard about him. They had heard that he was gaining and baptising more disciples than John.2But in fact Jesus was not baptising. His disciples were.3So Jesus left Judea and went back again to Galilee.4Jesus had to go through Samaria.5He came to a town in Samaria called Sychar. It was near the piece of land Jacob had given his son Joseph.6Jacob’s well was there. Jesus was tired from the journey. So he sat down by the well. It was about noon.7A woman from Samaria came to get some water. Jesus said to her, ‘Will you give me a drink?’8His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.9The Samaritan woman said to him, ‘You are a Jew. I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?’ She said this because Jews don’t have anything to do with Samaritans.10Jesus answered her, ‘You do not know what God’s gift is. And you do not know who is asking you for a drink. If you did, you would have asked him. He would have given you living water.’11‘Sir’, the woman said, ‘you don’t have anything to get water with. The well is deep. Where can you get this living water?12Our father Jacob gave us the well. He drank from it himself. So did his sons and his livestock. Are you more important than he is?’13Jesus answered, ‘Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again.14But anyone who drinks the water I give them will never be thirsty. In fact, the water I give them will become a spring of water in them. It will flow up into eternal life.’15The woman said to him, ‘Sir, give me this water. Then I will never be thirsty. And I won’t have to keep coming here to get water.’16He told her, ‘Go. Get 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.18The fact is, you have had five husbands. And the man you live with now is not your husband. What you have just said is very true.’19‘Sir’, the woman said, ‘I can see that you are a prophet.20Our people have always worshipped on this mountain. But you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.’21Jesus said, ‘Woman, believe me. A time is coming when you will not worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.22You Samaritans worship what you do not know. We worship what we do know. Salvation comes from the Jews.23But a new time is coming. In fact, it is already here. True worshippers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth. They are the kind of worshippers the Father is looking for.24God is spirit. His worshippers must worship him in the Spirit and in truth.’25The woman said, ‘I know that Messiah is coming.’ Messiah means Christ. ‘When he comes, he will explain everything to us.’26Then Jesus said, ‘The one you’re talking about is the one speaking to you. I am he.’
The disciples join Jesus again
27Just then Jesus’ disciples returned. They were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, ‘What do you want from her?’ No one asked, ‘Why are you talking with her?’28The woman left her water jar and went back to the town. She said to the people,29‘Come. See a man who told me everything I’ve ever done. Could this be the Messiah?’30The people came out of the town and made their way towards Jesus.31His disciples were saying to him, ‘Rabbi, eat something!’32But he said to them, ‘I have food to eat that you know nothing about.’33Then his disciples asked each other, ‘Did someone bring him food?’34Jesus said, ‘My food is to do what my Father sent me to do. My food is to finish his work.35Don’t you have a saying? You say, “It’s still four months until harvest time.” But I tell you, open your eyes! Look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest right now.36Even now the one who gathers the crop is getting paid. They are already harvesting the crop for eternal life. So the one who plants and the one who gathers can now be glad together.37Here is a true saying. “One plants and another gathers.”38I sent you to gather what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work. You have gathered the benefits of their work.’
Many Samaritans believe in Jesus
39Many of the Samaritans from the town of Sychar believed in Jesus. They believed because of what the woman had said about him. She said, ‘He told me everything I’ve ever done.’40Then the Samaritans came to him and tried to get him to stay with them. So he stayed two days.41Because of what he said, many more people became believers.42They said to the woman, ‘We no longer believe just because of what you said. We have now heard for ourselves. We know that this man really is the Saviour of the world.’
Jesus heals an official’s son
43After the two days, Jesus left for Galilee.44He himself had pointed out that a prophet is not respected in his own country.45When he arrived in Galilee, the people living there welcomed him. They had seen everything he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast. That was because they had also been there.46Once more, Jesus visited Cana in Galilee. Cana is where he had turned the water into wine. A royal official was there. His son was ill in bed at Capernaum.47The official heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea. So he went to Jesus and begged him to come and heal his son. The boy was close to death.48Jesus told him, ‘You people will never believe unless you see signs and wonders.’49The royal official said, ‘Sir, come down before my child dies.’50‘Go’, Jesus replied. ‘Your son will live.’ The man believed what Jesus said, and so he left.51While he was still on his way home, his slaves met him. They gave him the news that his boy was living.52He asked what time his son got better. They said to him, ‘Yesterday, at one o’clock in the afternoon, the fever left him.’53Then the father realised what had happened. That was the exact time Jesus had said to him, ‘Your son will live.’ So he and his whole family became believers.54This was the second sign that Jesus did after coming from Judea to Galilee.
