Yoḥanan (John) 4
4
1So when the Master knew that the Pharisees had heard that יהושע made and immersed more taught ones than Yoḥanan –
2although יהושע Himself did not immerse, but His taught ones –
3He left Yehuḏah and went away again to Galil.
4And He had to pass through Shomeron.
5So He came to a city of Shomeron, called Sheḵem, near the piece of land Ya‛aqoḇ gave to his son Yosĕph.
6And Ya‛aqoḇ’s fountain was there. So יהושע, being wearied from the journey, was sitting thus at the fountain. It was about the sixth hour.
7A woman of Shomeron came to draw water. יהושע said to her, “Give Me to drink.”
8For His taught ones had gone off into the city to buy food.
9The woman of Shomeron therefore said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Yehuḏi, ask a drink from me, a woman of Shomeron?” For Yehuḏim do not associate with Shomeronim.
10יהושע answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of Elohim, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me to drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”#See Jer. 2:13; Jer. 17:13; Zech. 14:8; John 7:37-39
11The woman said to Him, “Master, You have no vessel, and the well is deep. From where, then, do You have living water?
12Are You greater than our father Ya‛aqoḇ, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
13יהושע answered and said to her, “Everyone drinking of this water shall thirst again,
14but whoever drinks of the water I give him shall certainly never thirst. And the water that I give him shall become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
15The woman said to Him, “Master, give me this water, so that I do not thirst, nor come here to draw.”
16יהושע said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
17The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.” יהושע said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’
18for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.”
19The woman said to Him, “Master, I see that You are a prophet.
20Our fathers worshipped on this mountain, but you people say that in Yerushalayim is the place where one needs to worship.”
21יהושע said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you shall neither on this mountain, nor in Yerushalayim, worship the Father.
22You worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, because the deliverance is of the Yehuḏim.#See Psa. 147:19; Isa. 2:3; Isa. 14:1; Isa. 56:6-8; Eze. 47:22, 23; Zech. 2:10, 11; Zech. 8:23; Rom. 2:20; Rom. 3:2; Rom. 9:4; Rev. 21:12; Rev. 21:24
23“But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also does seek such to worship Him.
24“Elohim is Spirit, and those who worship Him need to worship in spirit and truth.”
25The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming, the One who is called Anointed. When that One comes, He shall announce to us all.”
26יהושע said to her, “I who am speaking to you am He.”
27And upon this His taught ones came, and they were marvelling that He was speaking with a woman, however, no one said, “What do You seek?” or, “Why do You speak with her?”
28The woman then left her water-jug, and went away to the city, and said to the men,
29Come, see a Man who told me all that I have done. Is this not the Messiah?
30They went out of the city and were coming to Him.
31But in the meantime His taught ones were asking Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
32And He said to them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.”
33Then the taught ones said to each other, “Did anyone bring Him food to eat?”
34יהושע said to them, “My food is to do the desire of Him who sent Me, and to accomplish His work.
35“Do you not say, ‘There are still four months, and the harvest comes’? See, I say to you, lift up your eyes and see the fields, for they are white for harvest – already!
36“He who is reaping receives a reward, and gathers fruit for everlasting life, so that both he who is sowing and he who is reaping rejoice together.
37“For in this the word is true, ‘One sows and another reaps.’
38“I sent you to reap that for which you have not laboured. Others have laboured, and you have entered into their labours.”
39And many of the Shomeronim of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who witnessed, “He told me all that I have done.”
40Therefore when the Shomeronim came to Him, they were asking Him to stay with them, and He stayed there two days.
41And many more believed because of His word.
42And they said to the woman, “We no longer believe because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this is truly the Messiah, the Saviour of the world.”
43And after the two days He left there and went to Galil.
44For יהושע Himself witnessed that a prophet is without appreciation in his own country.
45Therefore when He came to Galil, the Galileans received Him, having seen all that He had done in Yerushalayim at the festival, for they also went to the festival.
46Then יהושע came again to Qanah of Galil where He had made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Kephar Naḥum.
47When he heard that יהושע had come from Yehuḏah into Galil, he went to Him and was asking Him to come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.
48יהושע then said to him, “If you people do not see signs and wonders, you do not believe at all.”
49The nobleman said to Him, “Master, come down before my child dies!”
50יהושע said to him, “Go, your son lives.” And the man believed the word that יהושע spoke to him, and went.
51And while he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying, “Your son lives!”
52He then asked from them the hour in which he became better, and they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the inflammation left him.”
53Then the father knew that it was at the same hour in which יהושע said to him, “Your son lives.” And he himself believed, and all his household.
54Again this was the second sign יהושע did, when He had come from Yehuḏah into Galil.

John 4
1¶ When 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.
4¶ And it was necessary that he go through Samaria.
5Then he came 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 came a woman of Samaria to draw water; Jesus said unto her, Give me to drink.
8(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy food.)
9Then said the Samaritan woman unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who 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 said unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep; from where then hast thou that living water?
12Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank thereof himself, and his sons and his cattle?
13Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinks of this water shall thirst again,
14but whosoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst, but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a fountain of water springing up into eternal life.
15The woman said unto him, Lord, give me this water, that I not thirst, neither come here to draw.
16Jesus said unto her, Go, call thy husband and come here.
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; this hast thou said with truth.
19The woman said unto him, Lord, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary to worship.
21Jesus said unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem shall ye worship the Father.
22Ye worship what ye know not; we worship what we know, for saving health is of the Jews.
23But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father seeks such to worship him.
24God is a Spirit and those that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
25The woman said unto him, I know that the Messiah is to come, who is called the Christ; when he is come, he will declare unto us all things.
26Jesus said unto her, I AM that speak unto thee.
27¶ And upon this came his disciples and marvelled that he talked with that woman; yet no one said, What askest thou? or, What talkest thou with her?
28The woman then left her waterpot and went into the city and said to those men,
29Come, see a man who told me all that I have done; is perchance this the Christ?
30Then they went out of the city and came unto him.
31In the meanwhile his disciples entreated him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
32But he said unto them, I have a food to eat that ye know not of.
33Therefore said the disciples one to another, Has anyone brought him anything to eat?
34Jesus said unto them, My food is to do the will of him that sent me and to finish his work.
35 Do ye not say, There are yet four months and then comes 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 reaps receives wages and gathers fruit unto eternal life, that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together.
37And herein is that saying true, One sows and another reaps.
38I have sent you to reap that upon which ye bestowed no labour; others laboured, and ye have entered into their labours.
39And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in him by the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all that I have done.
40So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they asked him to abide with them; and he abode there two days.
41And many more believed by his own word
42and said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy speech; for we have heard him ourselves and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
43¶ Now after two days he departed from that place and went into Galilee.
44For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honour in his own country.
45Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they had also gone to the feast.
46So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he had 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 Jesus said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
49The nobleman said unto him, Sir, come down before my child dies.
50Jesus said unto him, Go; thy son lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus spoke unto him, and he went.
51And as he was now going down, his slaves met him and told him, saying, Thy son lives.
52Then he enquired of them the hour when he began to get better. 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 which Jesus said unto him, Thy son lives; and he believed, and his whole house.
54This again is the second sign that Jesus did when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
