John 4

1 Christ talketh with a woman of Samaria, and revealeth himself to her. 27 His disciples marvel. 31 He declareth to them his zeal for God's glory. 39 Many Samaritans believe on him. 43 He departeth into Galilee, and healeth the ruler's son that lay sick at Capernaum.

 4:1 Therefore 3767 when 5613 the Lord 2962 knew 1097 that the Pharisees 5330 had heard 191 that Jesus 2424 was making 4160 and baptizing 907 more 4183 disciples 3101 than 2228 John 2491

 4:2 (although 2544 Jesus 2424 Himself 846 was not baptizing 907, but His disciples 3101 were),

 4:3 He left 863 Judea 2453 and went 565 away 565 again 3825 into Galilee 1056.

 4:4 And He had 1163 to pass 1330 through 1330 1223 Samaria 4540.

 4:5 So 3767 He *came 2064 to a city 4172 of Samaria 4540 called 3004 Sychar 4965, near 4139 the parcel 5564 of ground 5564 that Jacob 2384 gave 1325 to his son 5207 Joseph 2501;

 4:6 and Jacob’s 2384 well 4077 was there 1563. So 3767 Jesus 2424, being wearied 2872 from His journey 3597, was sitting 2516 thus 3779 by the well 4077. It was about 5613 the sixth 1623 hour 5610.

 4:7 ¶ There *came 2064 a woman 1135 of Samaria 4540 to draw 501 water 5204. Jesus 2424 *said 3004 to her, “Give 1325 Me a drink 4095.”

 4:8 For His disciples 3101 had gone 565 away 565 into the city 4172 to buy 59 food 5160.

 4:9 Therefore 3767 the Samaritan 4542 woman 1135 *said 3004 to Him, “How 4459 is it that You, being 1510 a Jew 2453, ask 154 me for a drink 4095 since I am 1510 a Samaritan 4542 woman 1135?” (For Jews 2453 have 4798 no 3756 dealings 4798 with Samaritans 4541.)

 4:10 Jesus 2424 answered 611 and said 3004 to her, “If 1487 you knew 3609a the gift 1431 of God 2316, and who 5101 it is who says 3004 to you, ‘Give 1325 Me a drink 4095,’ you would have asked 154 Him, and He would have given 1325 you living 2198 water 5204.”

 4:11 She *said 3004 to Him, “Sir 2962, You have 2192 nothing 3777 to draw 502 with and the well 5421 is deep 901; where 4159 then 3767 do You get 2192 that living 2198 water?

 4:12 “You are not greater 3173 than our father 3962 Jacob 2384, are You, who 3739 gave 1325 us the well 5421, and drank 4095 of it himself 846 and his sons 5207 and his cattle 2353?”

 4:13 Jesus 2424 answered 611 and said 3004 to her, “Everyone 3956 who drinks 4095 of this 3778 water 5204 will thirst 1372 again 3825;

 4:14 but whoever 3739 302 drinks 4095 of the water 5204 that I will give 1325 him shall never 3756 3361 thirst 1372; but the water 5204 that I will give 1325 him will become 1096 in him a well 4077 of water 5204 springing 242 up to eternal 166 life 2222.”

 4:15 ¶ The woman 1135 *said 3004 to Him, “Sir 2962, give 1325 me this 3778 water 5204, so 2443 I will not be thirsty 1372 nor 3366 come 1330 all the way here 1759a to draw 501.”

 4:16 He *said 3004 to her, “Go 5217, call 5455 your husband 435 and come 2064 here 1759a.”

 4:17 The woman 1135 answered 611 and said 3004, “I have 2192 no 3756 husband 435.” Jesus 2424 *said 3004 to her, “You have correctly 2573 said 3004, ‘I have 2192 no 3756 husband 435’;

 4:18 for you have 2192 had 2192 five 4002 husbands 435, and the one whom 3739 you now 3568 have 2192 is not your husband 435; this 3778 you have said 3004 truly 227.”

 4:19 The woman 1135 *said 3004 to Him, “Sir 2962, I perceive 2334 that You are a prophet 4396.

 4:20 “Our fathers 3962 worshiped 4352 in this 3778 mountain 3735, and you [people] say 3004 that in Jerusalem 2414 is the place 5117 where 3699 men ought 1163 to worship 4352.”

 4:21 Jesus 2424 *said 3004 to her, “Woman 1135, believe 4100 Me, an hour 5610 is coming 2064 when 3753 neither 3777 in this 3778 mountain 3735 nor 3777 in Jerusalem 2414 will you worship 4352 the Father 3962.

 4:22 “You worship 4352 what 3739 you do not know 3609a; we worship 4352 what 3739 we know 3609a, for salvation 4991 is from the Jews 2453.

 4:23 “But an hour 5610 is coming 2064, and now 3568 is, when 3753 the true 228 worshipers 4353 will worship 4352 the Father 3962 in spirit 4151 and truth 225; for such 5108 people 5108 the Father 3962 seeks 2212 to be His worshipers 4352.

 4:24 “God 2316 is spirit 4151, and those 3588 who worship 4352 Him must 1163 worship 4352 in spirit 4151 and truth 225.”

 4:25 The woman 1135 *said 3004 to Him, “I know 3609a that Messiah 3323 is coming 2064 (He who is called 3004 Christ 5547); when 3752 that One 1565 comes 2064, He will declare 312 all 537a things 537a to us.”

 4:26 Jesus 2424 *said 3004 to her, “I who speak 2980 to you am 1510 [He].”

 4:27 ¶ At this 3778 point 1909 His disciples 3101 came 2064, and they were amazed 2296 that He had been speaking 2980 with a woman 1135, yet 3305 no 3762 one 3762 said 3004, “What 5101 do You seek 2212?” or 2228, “Why 5101 do You speak 2980 with her?”

 4:28 So 3767 the woman 1135 left 863 her waterpot 5201, and went 565 into the city 4172 and *said 3004 to the men 444,

 4:29 “Come 1205, see 3708 a man 444 who 3739 told 3004 me all 3956 the things 3956 that I [have] done 4160; this 3778 is not the Christ 5547, is it?”

 4:30 They went 1831 out of the city 4172, and were coming 2064 to Him.

 4:31 ¶ Meanwhile 3342 the disciples 3101 were urging 2065 Him, saying 3004, “Rabbi 4461, eat 2068.”

 4:32 But He said 3004 to them, “I have 2192 food 1035 to eat 2068 that you do not know 3609a about 3609a.”

 4:33 So 3767 the disciples 3101 were saying 3004 to one 240 another 240, “No 3361 one 5100 brought 5342 Him [anything] to eat 2068, did he?”

 4:34 Jesus 2424 *said 3004 to them, “My food 1033 is to do 4160 the will 2307 of Him who sent 3992 Me and to accomplish 5048 His work 2041.

 4:35 “Do you not say 3004, ‘There are yet 2089 four 5072 months 5072, and [then] comes 2064 the harvest 2326’? Behold 2400, I say 3004 to you, lift 1869 up your eyes 3788 and look 2300 on the fields 5561, that they are white 3022 for harvest 2326.

 4:36 “Already 2235 he who reaps 2325 is receiving 2983 wages 3408 and is gathering 4863 fruit 2590 for life 2222 eternal 166; so 2443 that he who sows 4687 and he who reaps 2325 may rejoice 5463 together 3674.

 4:37 “For in this 3778 [case] the saying 3056 is true 228, ‘One 243 sows 4687 and another 243 reaps 2325.’

 4:38 “I sent 649 you to reap 2325 that for which 3739 you have not labored 2872; others 243 have labored 2872 and you have entered 1525 into their labor 2873.”

 4:39 ¶ From that city 4172 many 4183 of the Samaritans 4541 believed 4100 in Him because 1223 of the word 3056 of the woman 1135 who testified 3140, “He told 3004 me all 3956 the things 3956 that I [have] done 4160.”

 4:40 So 3767 when 5613 the Samaritans 4541 came 2064 to Jesus, they were asking 2065 Him to stay 3306 with them; and He stayed 3306 there 1563 two 1417 days 2250.

 4:41 Many 4183 more 4183 believed 4100 because 1223 of His word 3056;

 4:42 and they were saying 3004 to the woman 1135, “It is no 3765 longer 3765 because 1223 of what you said 2981 that we believe 4100, for we have heard 191 for ourselves 846 and know 3609a that this 3778 One 3778 is indeed 230 the Savior 4990 of the world 2889.”

 4:43 ¶ After 3326 the two 1417 days 2250 He went 1831 forth 1831 from there 1564 into Galilee 1056.

 4:44 For Jesus 2424 Himself 846 testified 3140 that a prophet 4396 has 2192 no 3756 honor 5092 in his own 2398 country 3968.

 4:45 So 3767 when 3753 He came 2064 to Galilee 1056, the Galileans 1057 received 1209 Him, having seen 3708 all 3956 the things 3956 that He did 4160 in Jerusalem 2414 at the feast 1859; for they themselves 846 also 2532 went 2064 to the feast 1859.

 4:46 ¶ Therefore 3767 He came 2064 again 3825 to Cana 2580 of Galilee 1056 where 3699 He had made 4160 the water 5204 wine 3631. And there was a royal 937 official 937 whose 3739 son 5207 was sick 770 at Capernaum 2746b.

 4:47 When he heard 191 that Jesus 2424 had 2240 come 2240 out of Judea 2453 into Galilee 1056, he went 565 to Him and was imploring 2065 [Him] to come 2597 down 2597 and heal 2390 his son 5207; for he was at the point 3195 of death 599.

 4:48 So 3767 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to him, “Unless 1437 3361 you [people] see 3708 signs 4592 and wonders 5059, you [simply] will not believe 4100.”

 4:49 The royal 937 official 937 *said 3004 to Him, “Sir 2962, come 2597 down 2597 before 4250 my child 3813 dies 599.”

 4:50 Jesus 2424 *said 3004 to him, “Go 4198; your son 5207 lives 2198.” The man 444 believed 4100 the word 3056 that Jesus 2424 spoke 3004 to him and started 4198 off.

 4:51 As he was now 2235 going 2597 down 2597, [his] slaves 1401 met 5221 him, saying 3004 that his son 3816 was living 2198.

 4:52 So 3767 he inquired 4441 of them the hour 5610 when 1722 3739 he began to get 2192 better 2866. Then 3767 they said 3004 to him, “Yesterday 2189a at the seventh 1442 hour 5610 the fever 4446 left 863 him.”

 4:53 So 3767 the father 3962 knew 1097 that [it was] at that hour 5610 in which 3739 Jesus 2424 said 3004 to him, “Your son 5207 lives 2198”; and he himself 846 believed 4100 and his whole 3650 household 3614.

 4:54 This 3778 is again 3825 a second 1208 sign 4592 that Jesus 2424 performed 4160 when He had come 2064 out of Judea 2453 into Galilee 1056.
