It was about the sixth hour.
7Erchotō gunaikas ek tau Samareiau antlara hudem. legatō auta tos Iēsus; Dōasar mi pinara;When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.” 8tois gar mathētois autou aperchalelē eis tan polan, hina trofēain agorazaleia.(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) 9legatō oun auto tas gunaikas tas Samaritias; Pōs sis Ioudaios arōntos para mu pinara aitasō ⸂gunaikau Samaritiau arōntau?⸃ ouk gar sunchrolō Ioudaiois Samaritoi.“You are a Jew,” said the woman. “How can You ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.) 10apokrinita Iēsus kai legata auta; Ei oidaselē tan dōrean tou theou kai tinos atō tos legarōntos si; Dōasar mi pinara, sis an aitasa auton kai dōata an si hudem zōarōntem.Jesus answered, “If you knew the gift of God and who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” 11legatō auto ⸂tas gunaikas;⸃ Kurior, oute antlēmem echasō kai tem freatem atō bathuem; pothen oun echasō tem hudem tem zōarōntem?“Sir,” the woman replied, “You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where then will You get this living water? 12mē sis megoteros asō tou patrou nu Iakōb, hos dōata ni tem freatem kai autos ek auteu pinata kai tois huiois autou kai teim thremmeim autou?Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock?” 13apokrinita Iēsus kai legata auta; Pantos tos pinarōntos ek teu hudeu houteu dipsati palin;Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again. 14hos de an pinateia ek teu hudeu heu mis dōami auto, ouk mē ⸀dipsati eis ton aiōnon, alla tem hudem hem dōami auto geneti en auto pēgas hudeu hallorōnteu eis zōan aiōnian.But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a fount of water springing up to eternal life.” 15legatō pros auton tas gunaikas; Kurior, dōasar mi houtem tem hudem, hina mē dipsameiō mēde ⸀dierchomeiō enthade antlarō.The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water so that I will not get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”
16Legatō ⸀auta; Hupagasōr fōnasar ⸂ton andron su⸃ kai erchasar enthade.Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.” 17apokrinita tas gunaikas kai legata ⸀auto; Ouk echamō andron. legatō auta tos Iēsus; Kalōs legasa hoti Andron ouk echamō;“I have no husband,” the woman replied. Jesus said to her, “You are correct to say that you have no husband. 18pente gar androin echasa, kai nun hon echasō ouk atō su andros; houtem alēthem legasē.In fact, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. You have spoken truthfully.” 19legatō auto tas gunaikas; Kurior, theōramō hoti profētos asō sis.“Sir,” the woman said, “I see that You are a prophet. 20tois patrois nu en te ore houte proskunala; kai vis legavō hoti en Hierosolumei atō tos topos hopou ⸂proskunarō datō.⸃Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where one must worship is in Jerusalem.” 21legatō auta tos Iēsus; ⸂Pisteuasōr mi, gunaikar,⸃ hoti erchotō hōras hote oute en te ore houte oute en Hierosolumei proskunavi to patro.“Believe Me, woman,” Jesus replied, “a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22vis proskunavō hem ouk oidavē, nis proskunanō hem oidanē, hoti tas sōtērēas ek toiu Ioudaioiu atō;You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23alla erchotō hōras kai nun atō, hote tois alēthinois proskunētois proskunali to patro en pneume kai alētheia, kai gar tos patros toioutoin zētatō toin proskunarōntoin auton;But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him. 24pneumem tos theos, kai toin proskunarōntoin auton en pneume kai alētheia datō proskunarō.God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.” 25legatō auto tas gunaikas; Oidamē hoti Messios erchotō, tos legorōntos christos; hotan erchateia ekeinos, anangelati ni ⸀hapanteim.The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.” 26legatō auta tos Iēsus; Mis amō, tos lalarōntos si.Jesus answered, “I who speak to you am He.”
27Kai epi houte erchala tois mathētois autou, kai ⸀thaumazale hoti meta gunaikau lalate; oudenos mentoi legata; Tinem zētasō? ē tinem lalasō meta autau?Just then His disciples returned and were surprised that He was speaking with a woman. But no one asked Him, “What do You want from her?” or “Why are You talking with her?” 28afiēkata oun tan hudrian autau tas gunaikas kai aperchata eis tan polan kai legatō toi anthrōpoi;Then the woman left her water jar, went back into the town, and said to the people, 29Deute horavar anthrōpon hos legata mi panteim ⸀hoseim poiama; mēti houtos atō tos christos?“Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” 30exerchala ek tau polau kai archole pros auton.So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.
31⸀En te metaxu erōtale auton tois mathētois legarōntois; Rabbi, esthiasar.Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.” 32tos de legata autoi; Mis brōsian echamō esthiara han vis ouk oidavē.But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.” 33legale oun tois mathētois pros allēloin; Mē tinos ferata auto esthiara?So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?” 34legatō autoi tos Iēsus; Ēmem brōmem atō hina ⸀poiameia tem thelēmem tou pemparantou min kai teleiameia autou tem ergem.Jesus explained, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work. 35ouk vis legavō hoti Ēti tetramēnos atō kai tos therismos erchotō? idou legamō vi, eparavar toin ofthalmoin vu kai theasevar tain chōrain hoti leukais alō pros therismon; ēdēDo you not say, ‘There are still four months until the harvest’? I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are ripe for harvest. 36⸀tos therizarōntos misthon labatō kai sunagatō karpon eis zōan aiōnian, ⸀hina tos sperarōntos homou chairateiō kai tos therizarōntos.Already the reaper draws his wages and gathers a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together. 37en gar houte tos logos ⸀atō alēthinos hoti Allosos atō tos sperarōntos kai allosos tos therizarōntos;For in this case the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true. 38mis apostelama vin therizarō hem ouk vis kopiavē; allosois kopialē, kai vis eis ton kopon autoiu eiserchavē.I sent you to reap what you have not worked for; others have done the hard work, and now you have taken up their labor.”
39Ek de tau polau ekeinau pollois pisteuala eis auton toiu Samaritoiu dia ton logon tau gunaikau marturarōntau hoti Legata mi panteim ⸀heim poiama.Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” 40hōs oun erchala pros auton tois Samaritois, erōtale auton menara para autoi; kai menata ekei duo hēmerain.So when the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed two days. 41kai polle polloterois pisteuala dia ton logon autou,And many more believed because of His message. 42ta tē gunaika legale hoti Ouketi dia tan san lalian pisteuanō; autois gar akouanē, kai oidanē hoti houtos atō alēthōs tos sōtēros tou ⸀kosmou.They said to the woman, “We now believe not only because of your words; we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man truly is the Savior of the world.”
43Meta de tain duo hēmerain exerchata ⸀ekeithen eis tan Galilaian;After two days, Jesus left for Galilee. 44autos ⸀gar Iēsus marturata hoti profētos en ta idia patrida timan ouk echatō.Now He Himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown. 45hote oun erchata eis tan Galilaian, dechela auton tois Galilaiois, panteim horarēntois ⸀hoseim poiata en Hierosolumei en ta heorta, kai autois gar erchala eis tan heortan.Yet when He arrived, the Galileans welcomed Him. They had seen all the great things He had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they had gone there as well.
46Erchata oun ⸀palin eis tan Kana tau Galilaiau, hopou poiata tem hudem oinon. kai ate tinos basilikos hou tos huios asthenate en Kafarnaoum.So once again He came to Cana in Galilee, where He had turned the water into wine. And there was a royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum. 47houtos akouarantos hoti Iēsus hēkatō ek tau Ioudaiau eis tan Galilaian aperchata pros auton kai ⸀erōtate hina katabainateia kai ieteia autou ton huion, mellate gar apothnēskarō.When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged Him to come down and heal his son, who was about to die. 48legata oun tos Iēsus pros auton; Ean mē sēmeim kai terateim horaveia, ouk mē pisteuaveia.Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.” 49legatō pros auton tos basilikos; Kurior, katabainasar prin apothnēskara tem paidiem mu.“Sir,” the official said, “come down before my child dies.” 50legatō auto tos Iēsus; Poreuosōr; tos huios su zōatō. ⸀pisteuata tos anthrōpos to logo ⸀hon legata auto tos Iēsus kai poreuote.“Go,” said Jesus. “Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at His word and departed. 51ēdē de autou katabainarōntou tois doulois autou ⸀hupantala ⸀auto legarōntois hoti tos paidos ⸀autou zōatō.And while he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive. 52punthaneta oun ⸂tan hōran para autoiu⸃ en ha kompsoterem echata; ⸂legala oun⸃ auto hoti ⸀Echthes hōran hebdoman afiēkata auton tos puretos.So he inquired as to the hour when his son had recovered, and they told him, “The fever left him yesterday at the seventh hour.” 53gnōskata oun tos patros ⸀hoti ekeina ta hōra en ha legata auto tos ⸀Iēsus; Tos huios su zōatō, kai pisteuata autos kai tas oikias autou holas.Then the father realized that this was the very hour in which Jesus had told him, “Your son will live.” And he and all his household believed. 54houtem ⸀de palin deuterem sēmem poiata tos Iēsus ercharantos ek tau Ioudaiau eis tan Galilaian.This was now the second sign that Jesus performed after coming from Judea into Galilee.
