1 E quando o Senhor entendeu que os fariseus tinham ouvido que Jesus fazia e batizava mais discípulos do que João
2 (Ainda que Jesus mesmo não batizava, mas os seus discípulos),
3 Deixou a Judéia, e foi outra vez para a Galiléia.
4 E era-lhe necessário passar por Samaria.
5 Foi, pois, a uma cidade de Samaria, chamada Sicar, junto da herdade que Jacó tinha dado a seu filho José.
6 E estava ali a fonte de Jacó. Jesus, pois, cansado do caminho, assentou-se assim junto da fonte. Era isto quase à hora sexta.
7 Veio uma mulher de Samaria tirar água. Disse-lhe Jesus: Dá-me de beber.
8 Porque os seus discípulos tinham ido à cidade comprar comida.
9 Disse-lhe, pois, a mulher samaritana: Como, sendo tu judeu, me pedes de beber a mim, que sou mulher samaritana? (porque os judeus não se comunicam com os samaritanos).
10 Jesus respondeu, e disse-lhe: Se tu conheceras o dom de Deus, e quem é o que te diz: Dá-me de beber, tu lhe pedirias, e ele te daria água viva.
11 Disse-lhe a mulher: Senhor, tu não tens com que a tirar, e o poço é fundo; onde, pois, tens a água viva?
12 És tu maior do que o nosso pai Jacó, que nos deu o poço, bebendo ele próprio dele, e os seus filhos, e o seu gado?
13 Jesus respondeu, e disse-lhe: Qualquer que beber desta água tornará a ter sede;
14 Mas aquele que beber da água que eu lhe der nunca terá sede, porque a água que eu lhe der se fará nele uma fonte de água que salte para a vida eterna.
15 Disse-lhe a mulher: Senhor, dá-me dessa água, para que não mais tenha sede, e não venha aqui tirá-la.
16 Disse-lhe Jesus: Vai, chama o teu marido, e vem cá.
17 A mulher respondeu, e disse: Não tenho marido. Disse-lhe Jesus: Disseste bem: Não tenho marido;
18 Porque tiveste cinco maridos, e o que agora tens não é teu marido; isto disseste com verdade.
19 Disse-lhe a mulher: Senhor, vejo que és profeta.
20 Nossos pais adoraram neste monte, e vós dizeis que é em Jerusalém o lugar onde se deve adorar.
21 Disse-lhe Jesus: Mulher, crê-me que a hora vem, em que nem neste monte nem em Jerusalém adorareis o Pai.
22 Vós adorais o que não sabeis; nós adoramos o que sabemos porque a salvação vem dos judeus.
23 Mas a hora vem, e agora é, em que os verdadeiros adoradores adorarão o Pai em espírito e em verdade; porque o Pai procura a tais que assim o adorem.
24 Deus é Espírito, e importa que os que o adoram o adorem em espírito e em verdade.
25 A mulher disse-lhe: Eu sei que o Messias (que se chama o Cristo) vem; quando ele vier, nos anunciará tudo.
26 Jesus disse-lhe: Eu o sou, eu que falo contigo.
27 E nisto vieram os seus discípulos, e maravilharam-se de que estivesse falando com uma mulher; todavia nenhum lhe disse: Que perguntas? ou: Por que falas com ela?
28 Deixou, pois, a mulher o seu cântaro, e foi à cidade, e disse àqueles homens:
29 Vinde, vede um homem que me disse tudo quanto tenho feito. Porventura não é este o Cristo?
30 Saíram, pois, da cidade, e foram ter com ele.
31 E entretanto os seus discípulos lhe rogaram, dizendo: Rabi, come.
32 Ele, porém, lhes disse: Uma comida tenho para comer, que vós não conheceis.
33 Então os discípulos diziam uns aos outros: Trouxe-lhe, porventura, alguém algo de comer?
34 Jesus disse-lhes: A minha comida é fazer a vontade daquele que me enviou, e realizar a sua obra.
35 Não dizeis vós que ainda há quatro meses até que venha a ceifa? Eis que eu vos digo: Levantai os vossos olhos, e vede as terras, que já estão brancas para a ceifa.
36 E o que ceifa recebe galardão, e ajunta fruto para a vida eterna; para que, assim o que semeia como o que ceifa, ambos se regozijem.
37 Porque nisto é verdadeiro o ditado, que um é o que semeia, e outro o que ceifa.
38 Eu vos enviei a ceifar onde vós não trabalhastes; outros trabalharam, e vós entrastes no seu trabalho.
39 E muitos dos samaritanos daquela cidade creram nele, pela palavra da mulher, que testificou: Disse-me tudo quanto tenho feito.
40 Indo, pois, ter com ele os samaritanos, rogaram-lhe que ficasse com eles; e ficou ali dois dias.
41 E muitos mais creram nele, por causa da sua palavra.
42 E diziam à mulher: Já não é pelo teu dito que nós cremos; porque nós mesmos o temos ouvido, e sabemos que este é verdadeiramente o Cristo, o Salvador do mundo.
43 E dois dias depois partiu dali, e foi para a Galiléia.
44 Porque Jesus mesmo testificou que um profeta não tem honra na sua própria pátria.
45 Chegando, pois, à Galiléia, os galileus o receberam, vistas todas as coisas que fizera em Jerusalém, no dia da festa; porque também eles tinham ido à festa.
46 Segunda vez foi Jesus a Caná da Galiléia, onde da água fizera vinho. E havia ali um nobre, cujo filho estava enfermo em Cafarnaum.
47 Ouvindo este que Jesus vinha da Judéia para a Galiléia, foi ter com ele, e rogou-lhe que descesse, e curasse o seu filho, porque já estava à morte.
48 Então Jesus lhe disse: Se não virdes sinais e milagres, não crereis.
49 Disse-lhe o nobre: Senhor, desce, antes que meu filho morra.
50 Disse-lhe Jesus: Vai, o teu filho vive. E o homem creu na palavra que Jesus lhe disse, e partiu.
51 E descendo ele logo, saíram-lhe ao encontro os seus servos, e lhe anunciaram, dizendo: O teu filho vive.
52 Perguntou-lhes, pois, a que hora se achara melhor. E disseram-lhe: Ontem às sete horas a febre o deixou.
53 Entendeu, pois, o pai que era aquela hora a mesma em que Jesus lhe disse: O teu filho vive; e creu ele, e toda a sua casa.
54 Jesus fez este segundo milagre, quando ia da Judéia para a Galiléia.
1 Now when it was clear to the Lord that word had come to the ears of the Pharisees that Jesus was making more disciples than John and was giving them baptism
2 (Though, in fact, it was his disciples who gave baptism, not Jesus himself),
3 He went out of Judaea into Galilee again.
4 And it was necessary for him to go through Samaria.
5 So he came to a town of Samaria which was named Sychar, near to the bit of land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph:
6 Now Jacob's fountain was there. Jesus, being tired after his journey, was resting by the fountain. It was about the sixth hour.
7 A woman of Samaria came to get water, and Jesus said to her, Give me some water.
8 For his disciples had gone to the town to get food.
9 The woman of Samaria said to him, Why do you, a Jew, make a request for water to me, a woman of Samaria? She said this because Jews have nothing to do with the people of Samaria.
10 In answer Jesus said, If you had knowledge of what God gives freely and who it is who says to you, Give me water, you would make your prayer to him, and he would give you living water.
11 The woman said to him, Sir, you have no vessel and the fountain is deep; from where will you get the living water?
12 Are you greater than our father Jacob who gave us the fountain and took the water of it himself, with his children and his cattle?
13 Jesus said to her, Everyone who takes this water will be in need of it again:
14 But whoever takes the water I give him will never be in need of drink again; for the water I give him will become in him a fountain of eternal life.
15 The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be in need again of drink and will not have to come all this way for it.
16 Jesus said to her, Go, get your husband and come back here with him.
17 In answer, the woman said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have said rightly, I have no husband:
18 You have had five husbands, and the man you have now is not your husband: that was truly said.
19 The woman said to him, Sir, I see that you are a prophet.
20 Our fathers gave worship on this mountain, but you Jews say that the right place for worship is in Jerusalem.
21 Jesus said to her, Woman, take my word for this; the time is coming when you will not give worship to the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.
22 You give worship, but without knowledge of what you are worshipping: we give worship to what we have knowledge of: for salvation comes from the Jews.
23 But the time is coming, and is even now here, when the true worshippers will give worship to the Father in the true way of the spirit, for these are the worshippers desired by the Father.
24 God is Spirit: then let his worshippers give him worship in the true way of the spirit.
25 The woman said to him, I am certain that the Messiah, who is named Christ, is coming; when he comes he will make all things clear to us.
26 Jesus said to her, I, who am talking to you, am he.
27 At that point the disciples came back, and they were surprised to see him talking to a woman; but not one of them said to him, What is your purpose? or, Why are you talking to her?
28 Then the woman put down her water-pot and went into the town, and said to the people,
29 Come and see a man who has been talking to me of everything I ever did! Is it possible that this is the Christ?
30 So they went out of the town and came to him.
31 While this was taking place, the disciples were saying to Jesus, Master, take some food.
32 But he said to them, I have food of which you have no knowledge.
33 So the disciples said one to another, Did anyone give him food?
34 Jesus said, My food is to do the pleasure of him who sent me and to make his work complete.
35 You would say, Four months from now is the time of the grain-cutting. Take a look, I say to you, at the fields; they are even now white for cutting.
36 He who does the cutting now has his reward; he is getting together fruit for eternal life, so that he who did the planting and he who gets in the grain may have joy together.
37 In this the saying is a true one, One does the planting, and another gets in the grain.
38 I sent you to get in grain which you had no hand in planting: other men did that work, and you take the reward.
39 Now a number of the people of that town had faith in him because of the woman's witness: He has been talking to me of everything I ever did.
40 So when the people came to him they made request to him to be among them for a time, and he was there two days.
41 And a great number more of them came to have faith in him because of what he himself said.
42 And they said to the woman, Now we have faith, but not because of your story: we ourselves have given ear to his words, and we are certain that he is truly the Saviour of the world.
43 And after the two days he went on from there into Galilee.
44 For Jesus himself said that a prophet has no honour in the country of his birth.
45 So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans took him to their hearts because of the things which they had seen him do in Jerusalem at the feast--they themselves having been there at the feast.
46 So he came to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain man of high position whose son was ill at Capernaum.
47 When it came to his ears that Jesus had come from Judaea into Galilee, he went to him and made a request that he would come down to his son, who was near to death, and make him well.
48 Then Jesus said to him, You will not have faith if you do not see signs and wonders.
49 The man said, Sir, come down before my boy is dead.
50 And Jesus said, Go in peace; your son is living. The man had faith in the word which Jesus said to him and went away.
51 And while he was going down, his servants came to him and said, Your boy is living.
52 So he put a question to them as to the hour when he became better; and they said to him, The disease went from him yesterday at the seventh hour.
53 It was clear then to the father that this was the very time at which Jesus said to him, Your son is living. And he had faith in Jesus, he and all his family.
54 Now this is the second sign which Jesus did after he had come out of Judaea into Galilee.
