1Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John--1Ὡς οὖν ἔγνω Ἰησοῦς* ὅτι ἤκουσαν οἱ Φαρισαῖοι ὅτι Ἰησοῦς πλείονας μαθητὰς ποιεῖ καὶ βαπτίζει Ἰωάννης
2although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples.2καίτοιγε Ἰησοῦς αὐτὸς οὐκ ἐβάπτιζεν ἀλλ’ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ
3So he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee.3ἀφῆκεν τὴν Ἰουδαίαν καὶ ἀπῆλθεν πάλιν εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν
4Now he had to go through Samaria.4Ἔδει δὲ αὐτὸν διέρχεσθαι διὰ τῆς Σαμαρείας
5So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.5ἔρχεται οὖν εἰς πόλιν τῆς Σαμαρείας λεγομένην Συχὰρ πλησίον τοῦ χωρίου ἔδωκεν Ἰακὼβ ‹τῷ› Ἰωσὴφ τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ
6Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.6ἦν δὲ ἐκεῖ πηγὴ τοῦ Ἰακώβ οὖν Ἰησοῦς κεκοπιακὼς ἐκ τῆς ὁδοιπορίας ἐκαθέζετο οὕτως ἐπὶ τῇ πηγῇ ὥρα ἦν ὡς ἕκτη
7When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, "Will you give me a drink?"7Ἔρχεται γυνὴ ἐκ τῆς Σαμαρείας ἀντλῆσαι ὕδωρ λέγει αὐτῇ Ἰησοῦς Δός μοι πεῖν
8(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)8οἱ γὰρ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἀπεληλύθεισαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν ἵνα τροφὰς ἀγοράσωσιν
9The Samaritan woman said to him, "You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?" (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)9Λέγει οὖν αὐτῷ γυνὴ Σαμαρῖτις Πῶς σὺ Ἰουδαῖος ὢν παρ’ ἐμοῦ πεῖν αἰτεῖς γυναικὸς Σαμαρίτιδος οὔσης οὐ γὰρ συνχρῶνται Ἰουδαῖοι Σαμαρίταις
10Jesus 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."10Ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Εἰ ᾔδεις τὴν δωρεὰν τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τίς ἐστιν λέγων σοι Δός μοι πεῖν σὺ ἂν ᾔτησας αὐτὸν καὶ ἔδωκεν ἄν σοι ὕδωρ ζῶν
11"Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water?11Λέγει αὐτῷ ‹ἡ γυνή› Κύριε οὔτε ἄντλημα ἔχεις καὶ τὸ φρέαρ ἐστὶν βαθύ πόθεν οὖν ἔχεις τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ζῶν
12Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?"12μὴ σὺ μείζων εἶ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν Ἰακώβ ὃς ἔδωκεν ἡμῖν τὸ φρέαρ καὶ αὐτὸς ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἔπιεν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ θρέμματα αὐτοῦ
13Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again,13Ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ Πᾶς πίνων ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος τούτου διψήσει πάλιν
14but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life."14ὃς δ’ ἂν πίῃ ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος οὗ ἐγὼ δώσω αὐτῷ οὐ μὴ διψήσει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἀλλὰ τὸ ὕδωρ δώσω αὐτῷ γενήσεται ἐν αὐτῷ πηγὴ ὕδατος ἁλλομένου εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον
15The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water."15Λέγει πρὸς αὐτὸν γυνή Κύριε δός μοι τοῦτο τὸ ὕδωρ ἵνα μὴ διψῶ μηδὲ διέρχωμαι ἐνθάδε ἀντλεῖν
16He told her, "Go, call your husband and come back."16Λέγει αὐτῇ Ὕπαγε φώνησον τὸν ἄνδρα σου καὶ ἐλθὲ ἐνθάδε
17"I have no husband," she replied. Jesus said to her, "You are right when you say you have no husband.17Ἀπεκρίθη γυνὴ καὶ εἶπεν ‹αὐτῷ› Οὐκ ἔχω ἄνδρα Λέγει αὐτῇ Ἰησοῦς Καλῶς εἶπας* ὅτι Ἄνδρα οὐκ ἔχω
18The 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."18πέντε γὰρ ἄνδρας ἔσχες καὶ νῦν ὃν ἔχεις οὐκ ἔστιν σου ἀνήρ τοῦτο ἀληθὲς εἴρηκας
19"Sir," the woman said, "I can see that you are a prophet.19Λέγει αὐτῷ γυνή Κύριε θεωρῶ ὅτι προφήτης εἶ σύ
20Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem."20οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ ὄρει τούτῳ προσεκύνησαν καὶ ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις ἐστὶν τόπος ὅπου προσκυνεῖν δεῖ
21"Woman," Jesus replied, "believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.21Λέγει αὐτῇ Ἰησοῦς Πίστευέ μοι γύναι ὅτι ἔρχεται ὥρα ὅτε οὔτε ἐν τῷ ὄρει τούτῳ οὔτε ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις προσκυνήσετε τῷ Πατρί
22You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.22ὑμεῖς προσκυνεῖτε οὐκ οἴδατε ἡμεῖς προσκυνοῦμεν οἴδαμεν ὅτι σωτηρία ἐκ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἐστίν
23Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.23ἀλλὰ ἔρχεται ὥρα καὶ νῦν ἐστιν ὅτε οἱ ἀληθινοὶ προσκυνηταὶ προσκυνήσουσιν τῷ Πατρὶ ἐν πνεύματι καὶ ἀληθείᾳ καὶ γὰρ Πατὴρ τοιούτους ζητεῖ τοὺς προσκυνοῦντας αὐτόν
24God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth."24Πνεῦμα Θεός καὶ τοὺς προσκυνοῦντας ‹αὐτὸν› ἐν πνεύματι καὶ ἀληθείᾳ δεῖ προσκυνεῖν
25The woman said, "I know that Messiah" (called Christ) "is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us."25Λέγει αὐτῷ γυνή Οἶδα ὅτι Μεσσίας ἔρχεται λεγόμενος Χριστός ὅταν ἔλθῃ ἐκεῖνος ἀναγγελεῖ ἡμῖν ἅπαντα
26Then Jesus declared, "I, the one speaking to you--I am he."26Λέγει αὐτῇ Ἰησοῦς Ἐγώ εἰμι λαλῶν σοι
27Just then his disciples returned 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?"27Καὶ ἐπὶ τούτῳ ἦλθαν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐθαύμαζον ὅτι μετὰ γυναικὸς ἐλάλει οὐδεὶς μέντοι εἶπεν Τί ζητεῖς Τί λαλεῖς μετ’ αὐτῆς
28Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people,28Ἀφῆκεν οὖν τὴν ὑδρίαν αὐτῆς γυνὴ καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ λέγει τοῖς ἀνθρώποις
29"Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?"29Δεῦτε ἴδετε ἄνθρωπον ὃς εἶπέν μοι πάντα ὅσα* ἐποίησα μήτι οὗτός ἐστιν Χριστός
30They came out of the town and made their way toward him.30ἐξῆλθον ἐκ τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἤρχοντο πρὸς αὐτόν
31Meanwhile his disciples urged him, "Rabbi, eat something."31Ἐν τῷ μεταξὺ ἠρώτων αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταὶ λέγοντες Ῥαββί φάγε
32But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you know nothing about."32 δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἐγὼ βρῶσιν ἔχω φαγεῖν ἣν ὑμεῖς οὐκ οἴδατε
33Then his disciples said to each other, "Could someone have brought him food?"33Ἔλεγον οὖν οἱ μαθηταὶ πρὸς ἀλλήλους Μή τις ἤνεγκεν αὐτῷ φαγεῖν
34"My food," said Jesus, "is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.34Λέγει αὐτοῖς Ἰησοῦς Ἐμὸν βρῶμά ἐστιν ἵνα ποιήσω* τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πέμψαντός με καὶ τελειώσω αὐτοῦ τὸ ἔργον
35Don'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.35οὐχ ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι Ἔτι τετράμηνός ἐστιν καὶ θερισμὸς ἔρχεται ἰδοὺ λέγω ὑμῖν ἐπάρατε τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ὑμῶν καὶ θεάσασθε τὰς χώρας ὅτι λευκαί εἰσιν πρὸς θερισμόν ἤδη
36Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together.36 θερίζων μισθὸν λαμβάνει καὶ συνάγει καρπὸν εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον ἵνα σπείρων ὁμοῦ χαίρῃ καὶ θερίζων
37Thus the saying 'One sows and another reaps' is true.37ἐν γὰρ τούτῳ λόγος ἐστὶν ἀληθινὸς ὅτι Ἄλλος ἐστὶν σπείρων καὶ ἄλλος θερίζων
38I 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."38ἐγὼ ἀπέστειλα ὑμᾶς θερίζειν οὐχ ὑμεῖς κεκοπιάκατε ἄλλοι κεκοπιάκασιν καὶ ὑμεῖς εἰς τὸν κόπον αὐτῶν εἰσεληλύθατε
39Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, "He told me everything I ever did."39Ἐκ δὲ τῆς πόλεως ἐκείνης πολλοὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτὸν τῶν Σαμαριτῶν διὰ τὸν λόγον τῆς γυναικὸς μαρτυρούσης ὅτι Εἶπέν μοι πάντα ἐποίησα
40So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days.40ὡς οὖν ἦλθον πρὸς αὐτὸν οἱ Σαμαρῖται ἠρώτων αὐτὸν μεῖναι παρ’ αὐτοῖς καὶ ἔμεινεν ἐκεῖ δύο ἡμέρας
41And because of his words many more became believers.41Καὶ πολλῷ πλείους ἐπίστευσαν διὰ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ
42They 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."42τῇ τε γυναικὶ ἔλεγον ὅτι Οὐκέτι διὰ τὴν σὴν λαλιὰν πιστεύομεν αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἀκηκόαμεν καὶ οἴδαμεν ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ἀληθῶς Σωτὴρ τοῦ κόσμου
43After the two days he left for Galilee.43Μετὰ δὲ τὰς δύο ἡμέρας ἐξῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν
44(Now Jesus himself had pointed out that a prophet has no honor in his own country.)44αὐτὸς γὰρ Ἰησοῦς ἐμαρτύρησεν ὅτι προφήτης ἐν τῇ ἰδίᾳ πατρίδι τιμὴν οὐκ ἔχει
45When he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, for they also had been there.45ὅτε οὖν ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν ἐδέξαντο αὐτὸν οἱ Γαλιλαῖοι πάντα ἑωρακότες ὅσα ἐποίησεν ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ καὶ αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἦλθον εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν
46Once more he visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum.46Ἦλθεν οὖν πάλιν εἰς τὴν Κανὰ τῆς Γαλιλαίας ὅπου ἐποίησεν τὸ ὕδωρ οἶνον Καὶ ἦν τις βασιλικὸς οὗ υἱὸς ἠσθένει ἐν Καφαρναούμ
47When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death.47οὗτος ἀκούσας ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ἥκει ἐκ τῆς Ἰουδαίας εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν ἀπῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ ἠρώτα ἵνα καταβῇ καὶ ἰάσηται αὐτοῦ τὸν υἱόν ἤμελλεν γὰρ ἀποθνήσκειν
48"Unless you people see signs and wonders," Jesus told him, "you will never believe."48Εἶπεν οὖν Ἰησοῦς πρὸς αὐτόν Ἐὰν μὴ σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα ἴδητε οὐ μὴ πιστεύσητε
49The royal official said, "Sir, come down before my child dies."49Λέγει πρὸς αὐτὸν βασιλικός Κύριε κατάβηθι πρὶν ἀποθανεῖν τὸ παιδίον μου
50"Go," Jesus replied, "your son will live." The man took Jesus at his word and departed.50Λέγει αὐτῷ Ἰησοῦς Πορεύου υἱός σου ζῇ Ἐπίστευσεν ἄνθρωπος τῷ λόγῳ ὃν εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἰησοῦς καὶ ἐπορεύετο
51While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living.51ἤδη δὲ αὐτοῦ καταβαίνοντος οἱ δοῦλοι ‹αὐτοῦ› ὑπήντησαν αὐτῷ λέγοντες ὅτι παῖς αὐτοῦ ζῇ
52When 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."52Ἐπύθετο οὖν τὴν ὥραν παρ’ αὐτῶν ἐν κομψότερον ἔσχεν εἶπαν οὖν αὐτῷ ὅτι Ἐχθὲς ὥραν ἑβδόμην ἀφῆκεν αὐτὸν πυρετός
53Then 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 believed.53Ἔγνω οὖν πατὴρ ὅτι [ἐν] ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ ἐν εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἰησοῦς υἱός σου ζῇ καὶ ἐπίστευσεν αὐτὸς καὶ οἰκία αὐτοῦ ὅλη
54This was the second sign Jesus performed after coming from Judea to Galilee.54Τοῦτο δὲ πάλιν δεύτερον σημεῖον ἐποίησεν Ἰησοῦς ἐλθὼν ἐκ τῆς Ἰουδαίας εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν
