When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
Ὡς οὖν ἔγνω ὁ κύριος ὅτι ἤκουσαν οἱ Φαρισαῖοι ὅτι Ἰησοῦς πλείονας μαθητὰς ποιεῖ καὶ βαπτίζει ἢ Ἰωάννης—

He came to a Samaritan town called Sychar, near the piece of land Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Ἔρχεται οὖν εἰς πόλιν τῆς Σαμαρείας λεγομένην Συχάρ, πλησίον τοῦ χωρίου ὃ ἔδωκεν Ἰακὼβ Ἰωσὴφ τῷ υἱῷ αὐτοῦ∙

Jacob’s well was there. Jesus, tired from the journey, sat down beside the well. It was about noon.
Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
ἦν δὲ ἐκεῖ πηγὴ τοῦ Ἰακώβ. Ὁ οὖν Ἰησοῦς κεκοπιακὼς ἐκ τῆς ὁδοιπορίας ἐκαθέζετο οὕτως ἐπὶ τῇ πηγῇ. Ὥρα ἦν ὡσεὶ ἕκτη.

A Samaritan woman came to draw water.
Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”
There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

The Samaritan woman said, “How can You, a Jewish man, ask me, a Samaritan woman, for a drink?” Jews normally had nothing to do with Samaritans.
Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
Λέγει οὖν αὐτῷ ἡ γυνὴ ἡ Σαμαρεῖτις, Πῶς σὺ Ἰουδαῖος ὢν παρ’ ἐμοῦ πιεῖν αἰτεῖς, οὔσης γυναικὸς Σαμαρείτιδος;— Οὐ γὰρ συγχρῶνται Ἰουδαῖοι Σαμαρείταις.

Jesus answered, “If you understood what God wants to give you, and if you knew who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”
Jesus 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.
Ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, Εἰ ᾔδεις τὴν δωρεὰν τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ τίς ἐστιν ὁ λέγων σοι, Δός μοι πιεῖν, σὺ ἂν ᾔτησας αὐτόν, καὶ ἔδωκεν ἄν σοι ὕδωρ ζῶν.

She said, “Sir, You do not even have a bucket, and the well is deep. Where are You going to get this living water?
The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

Are You greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, along with his sons and livestock?”
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
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;

Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will become thirsty again.
Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
Ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ, Πᾶς ὁ πίνων ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος τούτου, διψήσει πάλιν∙
Apekrithē Iēsous kai eipen autē, Pas ho pinōn ek tou hydatos toutou, dipsēsei palin;
But whoever drinks the water I give will never thirst in that way again. The water I give will become within that person a spring of water continually flowing up into eternal life.”
But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
ὃς δ’ ἂν πίῃ ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος οὗ ἐγὼ δώσω αὐτῷ, οὐ μὴ διψήσῃ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα∙ ἀλλὰ τὸ ὕδωρ ὃ δώσω αὐτῷ γενήσεται ἐν αὐτῷ πηγὴ ὕδατος ἁλλομένου εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον.

The woman said, “Sir, give me this water so I will not get thirsty anymore and will not have to keep coming here to draw water.”
The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

Jesus told her, “Go call your husband and come back.”

She answered, “I do not have a husband.”
Jesus said, “You are right when you say you have no husband.
The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
Ἀπεκρίθη ἡ γυνὴ καὶ εἶπεν, Οὐκ ἔχω ἄνδρα. Λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Καλῶς εἶπας ὅτι Ἄνδρα οὐκ ἔχω∙

For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say Jerusalem is the place where people must worship.”
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
Οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν ἐν τῷ ὄρει τούτῳ προσεκύνησαν∙ καὶ ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις ἐστὶν ὁ τόπος ὅπου δεῖ προσκυνεῖν.

Jesus told her, “Woman, believe Me: a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor exclusively in Jerusalem.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
Λέγει αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Γύναι, πίστευσόν μοι ὅτι ἔρχεται ὥρα, ὅτε οὔτε ἐν τῷ ὄρει τούτῳ οὔτε ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις προσκυνήσετε τῷ πατρί.

You Samaritans worship what you do not fully know. We worship what we know, because salvation comes through the Jews.
Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
Ὑμεῖς προσκυνεῖτε ὃ οὐκ οἴδατε∙ ἡμεῖς προσκυνοῦμεν ὃ οἴδαμεν∙ ὅτι ἡ σωτηρία ἐκ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἐστίν.
Hymeis proskyneite ho ouk oidate; hēmeis proskynoumen ho oidamen; hoti hē sōtēria ek tōn Ioudaiōn estin.
But the time is coming—and is already here—when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. These are the kind of worshipers the Father is seeking.
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
Ἀλλ’ ἔρχεται ὥρα καὶ νῦν ἐστιν, ὅτε οἱ ἀληθινοὶ προσκυνηταὶ προσκυνήσουσιν τῷ πατρὶ ἐν πνεύματι καὶ ἀληθείᾳ∙ καὶ γὰρ ὁ πατὴρ τοιούτους ζητεῖ τοὺς προσκυνοῦντας αὐτόν.

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

The woman said, “I know the Messiah is coming—the One called Christ. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”
The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
Λέγει αὐτῷ ἡ γυνή, Οἶδα ὅτι Μεσίας ἔρχεται—ὁ λεγόμενος χριστός∙ ὅταν ἔλθῃ ἐκεῖνος, ἀναγγελεῖ ἡμῖν πάντα.

At that moment His disciples returned. They were surprised that He was speaking with a woman, but no one asked, “What do You want?” or “Why are You talking with her?”
¶ And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
Καὶ ἐπὶ τούτῳ ἦλθον οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐθαύμασαν ὅτι μετὰ γυναικὸς ἐλάλει∙ οὐδεὶς μέντοι εἶπεν, Τί ζητεῖς; ἤ, Τί λαλεῖς μετ’ αὐτῆς;

The woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and told the people,
The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,

“Come see a Man who told me everything I have ever done! Could this be the Christ?”
Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

So the people left the town and began coming toward Jesus.
Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

Meanwhile, the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”
¶ In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
Ἐν δὲ τῷ μεταξὺ ἠρώτων αὐτὸν οἱ μαθηταί, λέγοντες, Ῥαββί, φάγε.

But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
Ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Ἐγὼ βρῶσιν ἔχω φαγεῖν ἣν ὑμεῖς οὐκ οἴδατε.
Ho de eipen autois, Egō brōsin echō phagein hēn hymeis ouk oidate.
The disciples began asking one another, “Did someone bring Him something to eat?”
Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
Ἔλεγον οὖν οἱ μαθηταὶ πρὸς ἀλλήλους, Μή τις ἤνεγκεν αὐτῷ φαγεῖν;
Elegon oun hoi mathētai pros allēlous, Mē tis ēnenken autō phagein?
Jesus said, “My food is to do the will of the One who sent Me and to complete His work.
Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

You have a saying, ‘Four months remain until the harvest.’ But I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are already ripe and ready for harvest.
Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
Οὐχ ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι Ἔτι τετράμηνός ἐστιν, καὶ ὁ θερισμὸς ἔρχεται; Ἰδού, λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐπάρατε τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ὑμῶν, καὶ θεάσασθε τὰς χώρας, ὅτι λευκαί εἰσιν πρὸς θερισμὸν ἤδη.

The one who harvests is already receiving his reward and gathering fruit that leads to eternal life, so that the one who planted and the one who harvested can rejoice together.
And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
Καὶ ὁ θερίζων μισθὸν λαμβάνει, καὶ συνάγει καρπὸν εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον∙ ἵνα καὶ ὁ σπείρων ὁμοῦ χαίρῃ καὶ ὁ θερίζων.

The saying is true: ‘One person plants, and another harvests.’
And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
Ἐν γὰρ τούτῳ ὁ λόγος ἐστὶν ὁ ἀληθινός, ὅτι Ἄλλος ἐστὶν ὁ σπείρων, καὶ ἄλλος ὁ θερίζων.
En gar toutō ho logos estin ho alēthinos, hoti Allos estin ho speirōn, kai allos ho therizōn.
I sent you to harvest something you did not labor to produce. Others did the hard work, and you have entered into the results of their labor.”
I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
Ἐγὼ ἀπέστειλα ὑμᾶς θερίζειν ὃ οὐχ ὑμεῖς κεκοπιάκατε∙ ἄλλοι κεκοπιάκασιν, καὶ ὑμεῖς εἰς τὸν κόπον αὐτῶν εἰσεληλύθατε.

Many Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony: “He told me everything I ever did.”
¶ And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
Ἐκ δὲ τῆς πόλεως ἐκείνης πολλοὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτὸν τῶν Σαμαρειτῶν διὰ τὸν λόγον τῆς γυναικὸς μαρτυρούσης ὅτι Εἶπέν μοι πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησα.

So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them. Jesus remained there for two days.
So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
Ὡς οὖν ἦλθον πρὸς αὐτὸν οἱ Σαμαρεῖται, ἠρώτων αὐτὸν μεῖναι παρ’ αὐτοῖς∙ καὶ ἔμεινεν ἐκεῖ δύο ἡμέρας.

Many more believed because they heard His own words.
And many more believed because of his own word;
Καὶ πολλῷ πλείους ἐπίστευσαν διὰ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ,
Kai pollō pleious episteusan dia ton logon autou,
They told the woman, “We no longer believe merely because of what you told us. We have heard Him ourselves, and we know that this truly is the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
τῇ τε γυναικὶ ἔλεγον ὅτι Οὐκέτι διὰ τὴν σὴν λαλιὰν πιστεύομεν∙ αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἀκηκόαμεν, καὶ οἴδαμεν ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ἀληθῶς ὁ σωτὴρ τοῦ κόσμου, ὁ χριστός.

After those two days, Jesus left and went into Galilee.
¶ Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
Μετὰ δὲ τὰς δύο ἡμέρας ἐξῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν, καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν.

Jesus Himself had testified that a prophet is not honored in his own homeland.
For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

When He arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed Him because they had seen everything He had done in Jerusalem during the festival. They had been there too.
Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilæans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
Ὅτε οὖν ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν, ἐδέξαντο αὐτὸν οἱ Γαλιλαῖοι, πάντα ἑωρακότες ἃ ἐποίησεν ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ∙ καὶ αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἦλθον εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν.

Jesus returned to Cana in Galilee, where He had turned the water into wine. In Capernaum there was a royal official whose son was sick.
So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
Ἦλθεν οὖν πάλιν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὴν Κανᾶ τῆς Γαλιλαίας, ὅπου ἐποίησεν τὸ ὕδωρ οἶνον. Καὶ ἦν τις βασιλικός, οὗ ὁ υἱὸς ἠσθένει ἐν Καπερναούμ.

When the official heard that Jesus had returned from Judea to Galilee, he went to Him and begged Him to come down and heal his son, who was close to death.
When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judæa 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.
Οὗτος ἀκούσας ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ἥκει ἐκ τῆς Ἰουδαίας εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν, ἀπῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ ἠρώτα αὐτὸν ἵνα καταβῇ καὶ ἰάσηται αὐτοῦ τὸν υἱόν∙ ἔμελλεν γὰρ ἀποθνῄσκειν.

Jesus said, “Unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders, you simply will not believe.”
Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

Jesus told him, “Go home. Your son will live.”
The man believed what Jesus told him and left.
Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.
Λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Πορεύου∙ ὁ υἱός σου ζῇ. Καὶ ἐπίστευσεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τῷ λόγῳ ᾧ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἐπορεύετο.

While he was still on his way home, his servants met him and said, “Your son is alive!”
And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.

He asked them what time the boy had begun to recover.
They answered, “Yesterday at about one in the afternoon, the fever left him.”
Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
Ἐπύθετο οὖν παρ’ αὐτῶν τὴν ὥραν ἐν ᾗ κομψότερον ἔσχεν. Καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ ὅτι Χθὲς ὥραν ἑβδόμην ἀφῆκεν αὐτὸν ὁ πυρετός.

The father realized that this was the exact time Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” So he and everyone in his household believed.
So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.
Ἔγνω οὖν ὁ πατὴρ ὅτι ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ, ἐν ᾗ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι Ὁ υἱός σου ζῇ∙ καὶ ἐπίστευσεν αὐτὸς καὶ ἡ οἰκία αὐτοῦ ὅλη.

This was the second miraculous sign Jesus performed after returning from Judea to Galilee.
This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judæa into Galilee.
Τοῦτο πάλιν δεύτερον σημεῖον ἐποίησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς, ἐλθὼν ἐκ τῆς Ἰουδαίας εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν.
Touto palin deuteron sēmeion epoiēsen ho Iēsous, elthōn ek tēs Ioudaias eis tēn Galilaian.
