John.4.1
When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
John.4.1
Jesus realized that the Pharisees were keeping count of the baptisms that he and John performed
John.4.1
The Pharisees heard that Jesus was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John,
John.4.1
Therefore, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John
John.4.1
Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard, "Jesus is baptizing and making more disciples than John"
John.4.2
Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
John.4.2
(although his disciples, not Jesus, did the actual baptizing). They had posted the score that Jesus was ahead, turning him and John into rivals in the eyes of the people.
John.4.2
although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples.
John.4.2
(though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples),
John.4.2
(though Jesus himself didn't baptize them--his disciples did).
John.4.3
He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
John.4.3
So Jesus left the Judean countryside and went back to Galilee.
John.4.3
When the Lord learned of this, he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee.
John.4.3
He left Judea and departed again to Galilee.
John.4.3
So he left Judea to return to Galilee.
John.4.4
And he must needs go through Samaria.
John.4.4
To get there, he had to pass through Samaria.
John.4.4
Now he had to go through Samaria.
John.4.4
But He needed to go through Samaria.
John.4.4
He had to go through Samaria on the way.
John.4.5
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.
John.4.5
He came into Sychar, a Samaritan village that bordered the field Jacob had given his son Joseph.
John.4.5
So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
John.4.5
So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
John.4.5
Eventually he came to the Samaritan village of Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
John.4.6
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.
John.4.6
Jacob's well was still there. Jesus, worn out by the trip, sat down at the well. It was noon.
John.4.6
Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
John.4.6
Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
John.4.6
Jacob's well was there; and Jesus, tired from the long walk, sat wearily beside the well about noontime.
John.4.7
There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
John.4.7
A woman, a Samaritan, came to draw water. Jesus said, "Would you give me a drink of water?"
John.4.7
When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, "Will you give me a drink?"
John.4.7
A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink."
John.4.7
Soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, "Please give me a drink."
John.4.8
For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
John.4.8
(His disciples had gone to the village to buy food for lunch.)
John.4.8
(His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
John.4.8
For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
John.4.8
He was alone at the time because his disciples had gone into the village to buy some food.
John.4.9
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.
John.4.9
The Samaritan woman, taken aback, asked, "How come you, a Jew, are asking me, a Samaritan woman, for a drink?" (Jews in those days wouldn't be caught dead talking to Samaritans.)
John.4.9
The Samaritan woman said to him, "You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?" (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans. )
John.4.9
Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.
John.4.9
The woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans. She said to Jesus, "You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?"
John.4.10
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.
John.4.10
Jesus answered, "If you knew the generosity of God and who I am, you would be asking me for a drink, and I would give you fresh, living water."
John.4.10
Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water."
John.4.10
Jesus answered and said to 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."
John.4.10
Jesus replied, "If you only knew the gift God has for you and who I am, you would ask me, and I would give you living water."
John.4.11
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?
John.4.11
The woman said, "Sir, you don't even have a bucket to draw with, and this well is deep. So how are you going to get this "living water'?
John.4.11
"Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water?
John.4.11
The woman said to Him, "Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water?
John.4.11
"But sir, you don't have a rope or a bucket," she said, "and this is a very deep well. Where would you get this living water?
John.4.12
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
John.4.12
Are you a better man than our ancestor Jacob, who dug this well and drank from it, he and his sons and livestock, and passed it down to us?"
John.4.12
Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his flocks and herds?"
John.4.12
Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?"
John.4.12
And besides, are you greater than our ancestor Jacob who gave us this well? How can you offer better water than he and his sons and his cattle enjoyed?"
John.4.13
Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
John.4.13
Jesus said, "Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again and again.
John.4.13
Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again,
John.4.13
Jesus answered and said to her, "Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again,
John.4.13
Jesus replied, "People soon become thirsty again after drinking this water.
John.4.14
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.
John.4.14
Anyone who drinks the water I give will never thirst--not ever. The water I give will be an artesian spring within, gushing fountains of endless life."
John.4.14
but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
John.4.14
but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life."
John.4.14
But the water I give them takes away thirst altogether. It becomes a perpetual spring within them, giving them eternal life."
John.4.15
The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
John.4.15
The woman said, "Sir, give me this water so I won't ever get thirsty, won't ever have to come back to this well again!"
John.4.15
The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water."
John.4.15
The woman said to Him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw."
John.4.15
"Please, sir," the woman said, "give me some of that water! Then I'll never be thirsty again, and I won't have to come here to haul water."
John.4.16
Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
John.4.16
He said, "Go call your husband and then come back."
John.4.16
He told her, "Go, call your husband and come back."
John.4.16
Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here."
John.4.16
"Go and get your husband," Jesus told her.
John.4.17
The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
John.4.17
"I have no husband," she said. "That's nicely put: "I have no husband.'
John.4.17
"I have no husband," she replied.
John.4.17
The woman answered and said, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You have well said, "I have no husband,'
John.4.17
"I don't have a husband," the woman replied. Jesus said, "You're right! You don't have a husband--
John.4.18
For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
John.4.18
You've had five husbands, and the man you're living with now isn't even your husband. You spoke the truth there, sure enough."
John.4.18
Jesus said to her, "You are right when you say you have no husband. The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true."
John.4.18
for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly."
John.4.18
for you have had five husbands, and you aren't even married to the man you're living with now."
John.4.19
The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
John.4.19
"Oh, so you're a prophet!
John.4.19
"Sir," the woman said, "I can see that you are a prophet.
John.4.19
The woman said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.
John.4.19
"Sir," the woman said, "you must be a prophet.
John.4.20
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
John.4.20
Well, tell me this: Our ancestors worshiped God at this mountain, but you Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place for worship, right?"
John.4.20
Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem."
John.4.20
Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship."
John.4.20
So tell me, why is it that you Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place of worship, while we Samaritans claim it is here at Mount Gerizim, where our ancestors worshiped?"
John.4.21
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
John.4.21
"Believe me, woman, the time is coming when you Samaritans will worship the Father neither here at this mountain nor there in Jerusalem.
John.4.21
Jesus declared, "Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
John.4.21
Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.
John.4.21
Jesus replied, "Believe me, the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the Father here or in Jerusalem.
John.4.22
Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
John.4.22
You worship guessing in the dark; we Jews worship in the clear light of day. God's way of salvation is made available through the Jews.
John.4.22
You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.
John.4.22
You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.
John.4.22
You Samaritans know so little about the one you worship, while we Jews know all about him, for salvation comes through the Jews.
John.4.23
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.
John.4.23
But the time is coming--it has, in fact, come--when what you're called will not matter and where you go to worship will not matter. "It's who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That's the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship.
John.4.23
Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
John.4.23
But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
John.4.23
But the time is coming and is already here when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for anyone who will worship him that way.
John.4.24
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
John.4.24
God is sheer being itself--Spirit. Those who worship him must do it out of their very being, their spirits, their true selves, in adoration."
John.4.24
God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."
John.4.24
God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."
John.4.24
For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth."
John.4.25
The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
John.4.25
The woman said, "I don't know about that. I do know that the Messiah is coming. When he arrives, we'll get the whole story."
John.4.25
The woman said, "I know that Messiah" (called Christ) "is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us."
John.4.25
The woman said to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming" (who is called Christ). "When He comes, He will tell us all things."
John.4.25
The woman said, "I know the Messiah will come--the one who is called Christ. When he comes, he will explain everything to us."
John.4.26
Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
John.4.26
"I am he," said Jesus. "You don't have to wait any longer or look any further."
John.4.26
Then Jesus declared, "I who speak to you am he."
John.4.26
Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am He."
John.4.26
Then Jesus told her, "I am the Messiah!"
John.4.27
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?
John.4.27
Just then his disciples came back. They were shocked. They couldn't believe he was talking with that kind of a woman. No one said what they were all thinking, but their faces showed it.
John.4.27
Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, "What do you want?" or "Why are you talking with her?"
John.4.27
And at this point His disciples came, and they marveled that He talked with a woman; yet no one said, "What do You seek?" or, "Why are You talking with her?"
John.4.27
Just then his disciples arrived. They were astonished to find him talking to a woman, but none of them asked him why he was doing it or what they had been discussing.
John.4.28
The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
John.4.28
The woman took the hint and left. In her confusion she left her water pot. Back in the village she told the people,
John.4.28
Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people,
John.4.28
The woman then left her waterpot, went her way into the city, and said to the men,
John.4.28
The woman left her water jar beside the well and went back to the village and told everyone,
John.4.29
Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
John.4.29
"Come see a man who knew all about the things I did, who knows me inside and out. Do you think this could be the Messiah?"
John.4.29
"Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?"
John.4.29
"Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?"
John.4.29
"Come and meet a man who told me everything I ever did! Can this be the Messiah?"
John.4.30
Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
John.4.30
And they went out to see for themselves.
John.4.30
They came out of the town and made their way toward him.
John.4.30
Then they went out of the city and came to Him.
John.4.30
So the people came streaming from the village to see him.
John.4.31
In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
John.4.31
In the meantime, the disciples pressed him, "Rabbi, eat. Aren't you going to eat?"
John.4.31
Meanwhile his disciples urged him, "Rabbi, eat something."
John.4.31
In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."
John.4.31
Meanwhile, the disciples were urging Jesus to eat.
John.4.32
But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
John.4.32
He told them, "I have food to eat you know nothing about."
John.4.32
But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you know nothing about."
John.4.32
But He said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know."
John.4.32
"No," he said, "I have food you don't know about."
John.4.33
Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
John.4.33
The disciples were puzzled. "Who could have brought him food?"
John.4.33
Then his disciples said to each other, "Could someone have brought him food?"
John.4.33
Therefore the disciples said to one another, "Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?"
John.4.33
"Who brought it to him?" the disciples asked each other.
John.4.34
Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
John.4.34
Jesus said, "The food that keeps me going is that I do the will of the One who sent me, finishing the work he started.
John.4.34
"My food," said Jesus, "is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.
John.4.34
Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.
John.4.34
Then Jesus explained: "My nourishment comes from doing the will of God, who sent me, and from finishing his work.
John.4.35
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.
John.4.35
As you look around right now, wouldn't you say that in about four months it will be time to harvest? Well, I'm telling you to open your eyes and take a good look at what's right in front of you. These Samaritan fields are ripe. It's harvest time!
John.4.35
Do you not say, 'Four months more and then the harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.
John.4.35
Do you not say, "There are still four months and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!
John.4.35
Do you think the work of harvesting will not begin until the summer ends four months from now? Look around you! Vast fields are ripening all around us and are ready now for the harvest.
John.4.36
And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
John.4.36
"The Harvester isn't waiting. He's taking his pay, gathering in this grain that's ripe for eternal life. Now the Sower is arm in arm with the Harvester, triumphant.
John.4.36
Even now the reaper draws his wages, even now he harvests the crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together.
John.4.36
And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.
John.4.36
The harvesters are paid good wages, and the fruit they harvest is people brought to eternal life. What joy awaits both the planter and the harvester alike!
John.4.37
And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
John.4.37
That's the truth of the saying, "This one sows, that one harvests.'
John.4.37
Thus the saying 'One sows and another reaps' is true.
John.4.37
For in this the saying is true: "One sows and another reaps.'
John.4.37
You know the saying, 'One person plants and someone else harvests.' And it's true.
John.4.38
I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
John.4.38
I sent you to harvest a field you never worked. Without lifting a finger, you have walked in on a field worked long and hard by others."
John.4.38
I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor."
John.4.38
I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors."
John.4.38
I sent you to harvest where you didn't plant; others had already done the work, and you will gather the harvest."
John.4.39
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.
John.4.39
Many of the Samaritans from that village committed themselves to him because of the woman's witness: "He knew all about the things I did. He knows me inside and out!"
John.4.39
Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, "He told me everything I ever did."
John.4.39
And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, "He told me all that I ever did."
John.4.39
Many Samaritans from the village believed in Jesus because the woman had said, "He told me everything I ever did!"
John.4.40
So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
John.4.40
They asked him to stay on, so Jesus stayed two days.
John.4.40
So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days.
John.4.40
So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they urged Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
John.4.40
When they came out to see him, they begged him to stay at their village. So he stayed for two days,
John.4.41
And many more believed because of his own word;
John.4.41
A lot more people entrusted their lives to him when they heard what he had to say.
John.4.41
And because of his words many more became believers.
John.4.41
And many more believed because of His own word.
John.4.41
long enough for many of them to hear his message and believe.
John.4.42
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.
John.4.42
They said to the woman, "We're no longer taking this on your say-so. We've heard it for ourselves and know it for sure. He's the Savior of the world!" [JC]
John.4.42
They said to the woman, "We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world."
John.4.42
Then they said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world."
John.4.42
Then they said to the woman, "Now we believe because we have heard him ourselves, not just because of what you told us. He is indeed the Savior of the world."
John.4.43
Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
John.4.43
After the two days he left for Galilee.
John.4.43
After the two days he left for Galilee.
John.4.43
Now after the two days He departed from there and went to Galilee.
John.4.43
At the end of the two days' stay, Jesus went on into Galilee.
John.4.44
For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
John.4.44
Now, Jesus knew well from experience that a prophet is not respected in the place where he grew up.
John.4.44
(Now Jesus himself had pointed out that a prophet has no honor in his own country.)
John.4.44
For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
John.4.44
He had previously said, "A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own country."
John.4.45
Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
John.4.45
So when he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, but only because they were impressed with what he had done in Jerusalem during the Passover Feast, not that they really had a clue about who he was or what he was up to.
John.4.45
When he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, for they also had been there.
John.4.45
So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all the things He did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they also had gone to the feast.
John.4.45
The Galileans welcomed him, for they had been in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration and had seen all his miraculous signs.
John.4.46
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.
John.4.46
Now he was back in Cana of Galilee, the place where he made the water into wine. Meanwhile in Capernaum, there was a certain official from the king's court whose son was sick.
John.4.46
Once more he visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum.
John.4.46
So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee where He had made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
John.4.46
In the course of his journey through Galilee, he arrived at the town of Cana, where he had turned the water into wine. There was a government official in the city of Capernaum whose son was very sick.
John.4.47
When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea 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.
John.4.47
When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and asked that he come down and heal his son, who was on the brink of death.
John.4.47
When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death.
John.4.47
