John, 4

1. When Jesus therefore understood that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus maketh more disciples, and baptizeth more than John,

1. ὡς οὗν ἔγνω ὁ ἰησοῦς ὅτι ἤκουσαν οἱ φαρισαῖοι ὅτι ἰησοῦς πλείονας μαθητὰς ποιεῖ καὶ βαπτίζει ἢ ἰωάννης

2. (Though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples,)

2. _ καίτοιγε ἰησοῦς αὐτὸς οὐκ ἐβάπτιζεν ἀλλ᾽ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ _

3. He left Judea, and went again into Galilee.

3. ἀφῆκεν τὴν ἰουδαίαν καὶ ἀπῆλθεν πάλιν εἰς τὴν γαλιλαίαν.

4. And he was of necessity to pass through Samaria.

4. ἔδει δὲ αὐτὸν διέρχεσθαι διὰ τῆς σαμαρείας.

5. He cometh therefore to a city of Samaria, which is called Sichar, near the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

5. ἔρχεται οὗν εἰς πόλιν τῆς σαμαρείας λεγομένην συχὰρ πλησίον τοῦ χωρίου ὃ ἔδωκεν ἰακὼβ [τῶ] ἰωσὴφ τῶ υἱῶ αὐτοῦ·

6. Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well. It was about the sixth hour.

6. ἦν δὲ ἐκεῖ πηγὴ τοῦ ἰακώβ. ὁ οὗν ἰησοῦς κεκοπιακὼς ἐκ τῆς ὁδοιπορίας ἐκαθέζετο οὕτως ἐπὶ τῇ πηγῇ· ὥρα ἦν ὡς ἕκτη.

7. There cometh a woman of Samaria, to draw water. Jesus saith to her: Give me to drink.

7. ἔρχεται γυνὴ ἐκ τῆς σαμαρείας ἀντλῆσαι ὕδωρ. λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ ἰησοῦς, δός μοι πεῖν·

8. For his disciples were gone into the city to buy meats.

8. οἱ γὰρ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ἀπεληλύθεισαν εἰς τὴν πόλιν, ἵνα τροφὰς ἀγοράσωσιν.

9. Then that Samaritan woman saith to him: How dost thou, being a Jew, ask of me to drink, who am a Samaritan woman? For the Jews do not communicate with the Samaritans.

9. λέγει οὗν αὐτῶ ἡ γυνὴ ἡ σαμαρῖτις, πῶς σὺ ἰουδαῖος ὢν παρ᾽ ἐμοῦ πεῖν αἰτεῖς γυναικὸς σαμαρίτιδος οὔσης; οὐ γὰρ συγχρῶνται ἰουδαῖοι σαμαρίταις.

10. Jesus answered, and said to her: If thou didst know the gift of God, and who he is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou perhaps wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

10. ἀπεκρίθη ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, εἰ ᾔδεις τὴν δωρεὰν τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τίς ἐστιν ὁ λέγων σοι, δός μοι πεῖν, σὺ ἂν ᾔτησας αὐτὸν καὶ ἔδωκεν ἄν σοι ὕδωρ ζῶν.

11. The woman saith to him: Sir, thou hast nothing wherein to draw, and the well is deep; from whence then hast thou living water?

11. λέγει αὐτῶ [ἡ γυνή], κύριε, οὔτε ἄντλημα ἔχεις καὶ τὸ φρέαρ ἐστὶν βαθύ· πόθεν οὗν ἔχεις τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ζῶν;

12. Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

12. μὴ 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;

13. Jesus answered, and said to her: Whosoever drinketh of this water, shall thirst again; but he that shall drink of the water that I will give him, shall not thirst for ever:

13. ἀπεκρίθη ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, πᾶς ὁ πίνων ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος τούτου διψήσει πάλιν·

14. But the water that I will give him, shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into life everlasting.

14. ὃς δ᾽ ἂν πίῃ ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος οὖ ἐγὼ δώσω αὐτῶ, οὐ μὴ διψήσει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, ἀλλὰ τὸ ὕδωρ ὃ δώσω αὐτῶ γενήσεται ἐν αὐτῶ πηγὴ ὕδατος ἁλλομένου εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον.

15. The woman saith to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.

15. λέγει πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡ γυνή, κύριε, δός μοι τοῦτο τὸ ὕδωρ, ἵνα μὴ διψῶ μηδὲ διέρχωμαι ἐνθάδε ἀντλεῖν.

16. Jesus saith to her: Go, call thy husband, and come hither. 17 The woman answered, and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: Thou hast said well, I have no husband:

16. λέγει αὐτῇ, ὕπαγε φώνησον τὸν ἄνδρα σου καὶ ἐλθὲ ἐνθάδε.

17.

17. ἀπεκρίθη ἡ γυνὴ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῶ, οὐκ ἔχω ἄνδρα. λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ ἰησοῦς, καλῶς εἶπας ὅτι ἄνδρα οὐκ ἔχω·

18. For thou hast had five husbands: and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband. This thou hast said truly.

18. πέντε γὰρ ἄνδρας ἔσχες, καὶ νῦν ὃν ἔχεις οὐκ ἔστιν σου ἀνήρ· τοῦτο ἀληθὲς εἴρηκας.

19. The woman saith to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

19. λέγει αὐτῶ ἡ γυνή, κύριε, θεωρῶ ὅτι προφήτης εἶ σύ.

20. Our fathers adored on this mountain, and you say, that at Jerusalem is the place where men must adore.

20. οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν ἐν τῶ ὄρει τούτῳ προσεκύνησαν· καὶ ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι ἐν ἱεροσολύμοις ἐστὶν ὁ τόπος ὅπου προσκυνεῖν δεῖ.

21. Jesus saith to her: Woman, believe me, that the hour cometh, when you shall neither on this mountain, not in Jerusalem, adore the Father.

21. λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ ἰησοῦς, πίστευέ μοι, γύναι, ὅτι ἔρχεται ὥρα ὅτε οὔτε ἐν τῶ ὄρει τούτῳ οὔτε ἐν ἱεροσολύμοις προσκυνήσετε τῶ πατρί.

22. You adore that which you know not: we adore that which we know; for salvation is of the Jews.

22. ὑμεῖς προσκυνεῖτε ὃ οὐκ οἴδατε· ἡμεῖς προσκυνοῦμεν ὃ οἴδαμεν, ὅτι ἡ σωτηρία ἐκ τῶν ἰουδαίων ἐστίν.

23. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true adorers shall adore the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeketh such to adore him.

23. ἀλλὰ ἔρχεται ὥρα, καὶ νῦν ἐστιν, ὅτε οἱ ἀληθινοὶ προσκυνηταὶ προσκυνήσουσιν τῶ πατρὶ ἐν πνεύματι καὶ ἀληθείᾳ· καὶ γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ τοιούτους ζητεῖ τοὺς προσκυνοῦντας αὐτόν.

24. God is a spirit; and they that adore him, must adore him in spirit and in truth.

24. πνεῦμα ὁ θεός, καὶ τοὺς προσκυνοῦντας αὐτὸν ἐν πνεύματι καὶ ἀληθείᾳ δεῖ προσκυνεῖν.

25. The woman saith to him: I know that the Messias cometh (who is called Christ); therefore, when he is come, he will tell us all things.

25. λέγει αὐτῶ ἡ γυνή, οἶδα ὅτι μεσσίας ἔρχεται, ὁ λεγόμενος χριστός· ὅταν ἔλθῃ ἐκεῖνος, ἀναγγελεῖ ἡμῖν ἅπαντα.

26. Jesus saith to her: I am he, who am speaking with thee.

26. λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ ἰησοῦς, ἐγώ εἰμι, ὁ λαλῶν σοι.

27. And immediately his disciples came; and they wondered that he talked with the woman. Yet no man said: What seekest thou? or, why talkest thou with her?

27. καὶ ἐπὶ τούτῳ ἦλθαν οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐθαύμαζον ὅτι μετὰ γυναικὸς ἐλάλει· οὐδεὶς μέντοι εἶπεν, τί ζητεῖς; ἤ, τί λαλεῖς μετ᾽ αὐτῆς;

28. The woman therefore left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men there:

28. ἀφῆκεν οὗν τὴν ὑδρίαν αὐτῆς ἡ γυνὴ καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ λέγει τοῖς ἀνθρώποις,

29. Come, and see a man who has told me all things whatsoever I have done. Is not he the Christ?

29. δεῦτε ἴδετε ἄνθρωπον ὃς εἶπέν μοι πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησα· μήτι οὖτός ἐστιν ὁ χριστός;

30. They went therefore out of the city, and came unto him.

30. ἐξῆλθον ἐκ τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἤρχοντο πρὸς αὐτόν.

31. In the mean time the disciples prayed him, saying: Rabbi, eat.

31. ἐν τῶ μεταξὺ ἠρώτων αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταὶ λέγοντες, ῥαββί, φάγε.

32. But he said to them: I have meat to eat, which you know not.

32. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, ἐγὼ βρῶσιν ἔχω φαγεῖν ἣν ὑμεῖς οὐκ οἴδατε.

33. The disciples therefore said one to another: Hath any man brought him to eat?

33. ἔλεγον οὗν οἱ μαθηταὶ πρὸς ἀλλήλους, μή τις ἤνεγκεν αὐτῶ φαγεῖν;

34. Jesus saith to them: My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, that I may perfect his work.

34. λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ ἰησοῦς, ἐμὸν βρῶμά ἐστιν ἵνα ποιήσω τὸ θέλημα τοῦ πέμψαντός με καὶ τελειώσω αὐτοῦ τὸ ἔργον.

35. Do you not say, There are yet four months, and then the harvest cometh? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see the countries; for they are white already to harvest.

35. οὐχ ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι ἔτι τετράμηνός ἐστιν καὶ ὁ θερισμὸς ἔρχεται; ἰδοὺ λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐπάρατε τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ὑμῶν καὶ θεάσασθε τὰς χώρας ὅτι λευκαί εἰσιν πρὸς θερισμόν. ἤδη

36. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life everlasting: that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth, may rejoice together.

36. ὁ θερίζων μισθὸν λαμβάνει καὶ συνάγει καρπὸν εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον, ἵνα ὁ σπείρων ὁμοῦ χαίρῃ καὶ ὁ θερίζων.

37. For in this is the saying true: That it is one man that soweth, and it is another that reapeth.

37. ἐν γὰρ τούτῳ ὁ λόγος ἐστὶν ἀληθινὸς ὅτι ἄλλος ἐστὶν ὁ σπείρων καὶ ἄλλος ὁ θερίζων.

38. I have sent you to reap that in which you did not labour: others have laboured, and you have entered into their labours.

38. ἐγὼ ἀπέστειλα ὑμᾶς θερίζειν ὃ οὐχ ὑμεῖς κεκοπιάκατε· ἄλλοι κεκοπιάκασιν, καὶ ὑμεῖς εἰς τὸν κόπον αὐτῶν εἰσεληλύθατε.

39. Now of that city many of the Samaritans believed in him, for the word of the woman giving testimony: He told me all things whatsoever I have done.

39. ἐκ δὲ τῆς πόλεως ἐκείνης πολλοὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτὸν τῶν σαμαριτῶν διὰ τὸν λόγον τῆς γυναικὸς μαρτυρούσης ὅτι εἶπέν μοι πάντα ἃ ἐποίησα.

40. So when the Samaritans were come to him, they desired that he would tarry there. And he abode there two days.

40. ὡς οὗν ἦλθον πρὸς αὐτὸν οἱ σαμαρῖται, ἠρώτων αὐτὸν μεῖναι παρ᾽ αὐτοῖς· καὶ ἔμεινεν ἐκεῖ δύο ἡμέρας.

41. And many more believed in him because of his own word.

41. καὶ πολλῶ πλείους ἐπίστευσαν διὰ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ,

42. And they said to the woman: We now believe, not for thy saying: for we ourselves have heard him, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.

42. τῇ τε γυναικὶ ἔλεγον ὅτι οὐκέτι διὰ τὴν σὴν λαλιὰν πιστεύομεν· αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἀκηκόαμεν, καὶ οἴδαμεν ὅτι οὖτός ἐστιν ἀληθῶς ὁ σωτὴρ τοῦ κόσμου.

43. Now after two days, he departed thence, and went into Galilee.

43. μετὰ δὲ τὰς δύο ἡμέρας ἐξῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν εἰς τὴν γαλιλαίαν·

44. For Jesus himself gave testimony that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

44. αὐτὸς γὰρ ἰησοῦς ἐμαρτύρησεν ὅτι προφήτης ἐν τῇ ἰδίᾳ πατρίδι τιμὴν οὐκ ἔχει.

45. And when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things he had done at Jerusalem on the festival day; for they also went to the festival day.

45. ὅτε οὗν ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν γαλιλαίαν, ἐδέξαντο αὐτὸν οἱ γαλιλαῖοι, πάντα ἑωρακότες ὅσα ἐποίησεν ἐν ἱεροσολύμοις ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ, καὶ αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἦλθον εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν.

46. He came again therefore into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capharnaum.

46. ἦλθεν οὗν πάλιν εἰς τὴν κανὰ τῆς γαλιλαίας, ὅπου ἐποίησεν τὸ ὕδωρ οἶνον. καὶ ἦν τις βασιλικὸς οὖ ὁ υἱὸς ἠσθένει ἐν καφαρναούμ·

47. He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him, and prayed him to come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.

47. οὖτος ἀκούσας ὅτι ἰησοῦς ἥκει ἐκ τῆς ἰουδαίας εἰς τὴν γαλιλαίαν ἀπῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ ἠρώτα ἵνα καταβῇ καὶ ἰάσηται αὐτοῦ τὸν υἱόν, ἤμελλεν γὰρ ἀποθνῄσκειν.

48. Jesus therefore said to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not.

48. εἶπεν οὗν ὁ ἰησοῦς πρὸς αὐτόν, ἐὰν μὴ σημεῖα καὶ τέρατα ἴδητε, οὐ μὴ πιστεύσητε.

49. The ruler saith to him: Lord, come down before that my son die.

49. λέγει πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ βασιλικός, κύριε, κατάβηθι πρὶν ἀποθανεῖν τὸ παιδίον μου.

50. Jesus saith to him: Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way.

50. λέγει αὐτῶ ὁ ἰησοῦς, πορεύου· ὁ υἱός σου ζῇ. ἐπίστευσεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τῶ λόγῳ ὃν εἶπεν αὐτῶ ὁ ἰησοῦς καὶ ἐπορεύετο.

51. And as he was going down, his servants met him; and they brought word, saying, that his son lived.

51. ἤδη δὲ αὐτοῦ καταβαίνοντος οἱ δοῦλοι αὐτοῦ ὑπήντησαν αὐτῶ λέγοντες ὅτι ὁ παῖς αὐτοῦ ζῇ.

52. He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.

52. ἐπύθετο οὗν τὴν ὥραν παρ᾽ αὐτῶν ἐν ᾗ κομψότερον ἔσχεν· εἶπαν οὗν αὐτῶ ὅτι ἐχθὲς ὥραν ἑβδόμην ἀφῆκεν αὐτὸν ὁ πυρετός.

53. The father therefore knew, that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth; and himself believed, and his whole house.

53. ἔγνω οὗν ὁ πατὴρ ὅτι [ἐν] ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ ἐν ᾗ εἶπεν αὐτῶ ὁ ἰησοῦς, ὁ υἱός σου ζῇ, καὶ ἐπίστευσεν αὐτὸς καὶ ἡ οἰκία αὐτοῦ ὅλη.

54. This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea into Galilee.

54. τοῦτο [δὲ] πάλιν δεύτερον σημεῖον ἐποίησεν ὁ ἰησοῦς ἐλθὼν ἐκ τῆς ἰουδαίας εἰς τὴν γαλιλαίαν.
