1 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John 2 (although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples), 3 he left Judea and departed into Galilee. 4 He needed to pass through Samaria. 5 So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink." 8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
9 The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, "How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
10 Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water."
11 The woman said to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?"
13 Jesus answered her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."
15 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw."
16 Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."
17 The woman answered, "I have no husband."
Jesus said to her, "You said well, ‘I have no husband,’ 18 for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly."
19 The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship."
21 Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. 22 You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews. 23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."
25 The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to us all things."
26 Jesus said to her, "I am he, the one who speaks to you."
27 Just then, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, "What are you looking for?" or, "Why do you speak with her?" 28 So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people, 29 "Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?" 30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
31 In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."
32 But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you don’t know about."
33 The disciples therefore said to one another, "Has anyone brought him something to eat?"
34 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work. 35 Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest?’ Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already. 36 He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37 For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor."
39 From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, "He told me everything that I have done." 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days. 41 Many more believed because of his word. 42 They said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world."
43 After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee. 44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country. 45 So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast. 46 Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. 48 Jesus therefore said to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe."
49 The nobleman said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies."
50 Jesus said to him, "Go your way. Your son lives." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way. 51 As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying "Your child lives!" 52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him." 53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives." He believed, as did his whole house. 54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
1 主知道法利赛人听见他收门徒和施洗比约翰更多
2 (其实不是耶稣亲自施洗, 而是他的门徒施洗),
3 就离开了犹太, 再往加利利去。
4 他必须经过撒玛利亚。
5 于是到了撒玛利亚的一座城, 名叫叙加; 这城靠近雅各给他儿子约瑟的那块地。
6 在那里有雅各井。耶稣因为旅途疲倦了, 就坐在井旁; 那时大约正午。
7 有一个撒玛利亚妇人来打水。耶稣对她说: "请给我水喝。"
8 那时, 他的门徒都进城买食物去了。
9 撒玛利亚妇人对耶稣说: "你是犹太人, 怎么向我, 一个撒玛利亚妇人要水喝呢?"(原来犹太人和撒玛利亚人不相往来。)
10 耶稣回答她: "你若知道 神的恩赐, 和对你说‘请给我水喝’的是谁, 你必早已求他, 他也必早把活水赐给你了。"
11 妇人说: "先生, 你没有打水的器具, 井又深, 你从哪里得活水呢?
12 我们的祖先雅各把这口井留给我们, 他自己和子孙以及牲畜都喝这井的水, 难道你比他还大吗?"
13 耶稣回答: "凡喝这水的, 还要再渴;
14 人若喝我所赐的水, 就永远不渴。我所赐的水要在他里面成为涌流的泉源, 直涌到永生。"
15 妇人说: "先生, 请把这水赐给我, 使我不渴, 也不用来这里打水。"
16 耶稣说: "你去, 叫你的丈夫, 然后回到这里来。"
17 妇人对他说: "我没有丈夫。"耶稣说: "你说‘没有丈夫’是不错的。
18 你以前有五个丈夫, 现在有的并不是你的丈夫; 你说这话是真的。"
19 妇人说: "先生, 我看出你是先知。
20 我们的祖先在这山上敬拜 神, 而你们却说, 敬拜的地方必须在耶路撒冷。"
21 耶稣说: "妇人, 你应当信我, 时候将到, 那时你们敬拜父, 不在这山上, 也不在耶路撒冷。
22 你们敬拜你们所不知道的, 我们却敬拜我们所知道的, 因为救恩是从犹太人出来的。
23 然而时候将到, 现在就是了, 那用心灵按真理敬拜父的, 才是真正敬拜的人; 因为父在寻找这样敬拜他的人。
24 神是灵, 敬拜他的必须用心灵按真理敬拜他。"
25 妇人说: "我知道那称为基督的弥赛亚要来; 他来了, 要把一切都告诉我们。"
26 耶稣说: "我这现在跟你说话的就是他。"
27 正在这时候, 门徒回来了, 见耶稣和一个妇人说话, 就很希奇; 但是没有人问: "你要什么?"或说: "你为什么跟她说话?"
28 那妇人撇下了她的水罐, 进到城里去, 对众人说:
29 "你们来, 看看一个人, 他把我所作的一切都说出来, 难道这人就是基督吗?"
30 众人就出城, 往耶稣那里去。
31 当时, 门徒对耶稣说: "拉比, 请吃。"
32 耶稣说: "我有食物吃, 是你们所不知道的。"
33 门徒就彼此说: "难道有人拿东西给他吃了吗?"
34 耶稣说: "我的食物就是遵行差我来者的旨意, 并且完成他的工作。
35 你们不是说‘还有四个月才到收获的时候’吗?我告诉你们, 举目向田观看, 庄稼已经熟了, 可以收割了。
36 收割的人得到工资, 也积储五谷直到永生, 使撒种的和收割的一同快乐。
37 ‘这人撒种, 那人收割’, 这话是真的。
38 我派你们去收割你们所没有劳苦的; 别人劳苦, 你们却享受他们劳苦的成果。"
39 因着那妇人作见证的话: "他把我所作的一切都说出来了", 那城里就有许多撒玛利亚人信了耶稣。
40 于是他们来到耶稣那里, 求他和他们同住, 耶稣就在那里住了两天。
41 因着耶稣的话, 信他的人就更多了。
42 他们就对那妇人说: "现在我们信, 不再是因为你的话, 而是因为我们亲自听见了, 知道这位真是世人的救主。"
43 两天之后, 耶稣离开那里, 往加利利去。
44 耶稣自己说过: "先知在本乡是不受尊敬的。"
45 耶稣到了加利利的时候, 加利利人都欢迎他, 因为他们曾经上耶路撒冷去过节, 见过他所行的一切。
46 耶稣又到了加利利的迦拿, 就是他变水为酒的地方。有一个大臣, 他的儿子在迦百农患病。
47 他听见耶稣从犹太到了加利利, 就来见他, 求他下去医治他的儿子, 因为他的儿子快要死了。
48 耶稣对他说: "你们若看不见神迹奇事, 总是不肯信。"
49 大臣说: "先生, 求你趁我的孩子还没有死就下去吧! "
50 耶稣告诉他: "回去吧, 你的儿子好了。"那人信耶稣对他说的话, 就回去了。
51 正下去的时候, 他的仆人迎着他走来, 说他的孩子好了。
52 他就向仆人查问孩子是什么时候好转的。他们告诉他: "昨天下午一点钟, 热就退了。"
53 这父亲就知道, 那正是耶稣告诉他"你的儿子好了"的时候, 他自己和全家就信了。
54 这是耶稣从犹太回到加利利以后所行的第二件神迹。
