Jesus Goes to Galilee

4NOW WHEN the Lord knew (learned, became aware) that the Pharisees had been told that Jesus was winning and baptizing more disciples than John--G5613G3767G2962G1097G3754G5330G191G3754G2424G4160G2532G907G4119G3101G2228G24912Though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples--G2544G2424G846G907G3756G235G846G31013He left Judea and returned to Galilee.G863G2449G2532G565G3825G1519G10564It was necessary for Him to go through Samaria.G1161G1163G1330G1223G45405And in doing so, He arrived at a Samaritan town called Sychar, near the tract of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.G3767G2064G1519G4172G4540G3004G4965G4139G5564G3739G2384G1325G846G5207G25016And Jacob's well was there. So Jesus, tired as He was from His journey, sat down [to rest] by the well. It was then about the sixth hour (about noon).G1161G2384G4077G2258G1563G2424G3767G2872G1537G3597G2516G3779G1909G4077G2258G5616G1623G5610

The Samaritan Woman

7Presently, when a woman of Samaria came along to draw water, Jesus said to her, Give Me a drink--G2064G1135G1537G4540G501G5204G2424G3004G846G1325G3427G40958For His disciples had gone off into the town to buy food--G1063G846G3101G565G1519G4172G2443G59G51609The Samaritan woman said to Him, How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me, a Samaritan [and a] woman, for a drink?--For the Jews have nothing to do with the Samaritans--G3767G3004G1135G4542G846G4459G4771G5607G2453G154G4095G3844G1700G5607G1135G4542G1063G2453G4798G3756G4798G454110Jesus answered her, If you had only known {and} had recognized God's gift and Who this is that is saying to you, Give Me a drink, you would have asked Him [instead] and He would have given you living water.G2424G611G2532G2036G846G1487G1492G1431G2316G2532G5101G2076G3004G4671G1325G3427G4095G4771G302G154G846G2532G302G1325G4671G2198G520411She said to Him, Sir, You have nothing to draw with [no drawing bucket] and the well is deep; how then can You provide living water? [Where do You get Your living water?]G1135G3004G846G2962G2192G3777G502G2532G5421G2076G901G4159G3767G2192G2198G520412Are You greater than {and} superior to our ancestor Jacob, who gave us this well and who used to drink from it himself, and his sons and his cattle also?G3361G1488G4771G3187G2257G3962G2384G3739G1325G2254G5421G2532G4095G1537G846G846G2532G846G5207G2532G846G235313Jesus answered her, All who drink of this water will be thirsty again.G2424G611G2532G2036G846G3956G4095G1537G5127G5204G1372G382514But whoever takes a drink of the water that I will give him shall never, no never, be thirsty any more. But the water that I will give him shall become a spring of water welling up (flowing, bubbling) [continually] within him unto (into, for) eternal life.G1161G3739G302G4095G1537G5204G3739G1473G1325G846G1372G1519G165G3364G1372G235G5204G3739G1325G846G1096G1722G846G4077G5204G242G1519G166G222215The woman said to Him, Sir, give me this water, so that I may never get thirsty nor have to come [continually all the way] here to draw.G1135G3004G4314G846G2962G1325G3427G5124G5204G3363G1372G3363G3366G2064G1759G50116At this, Jesus said to her, Go, call your husband and come back here.G2424G3004G846G5217G5455G4675G435G2532G2064G175917The woman answered, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have spoken truly in saying, I have no husband.G1135G611G2532G2036G2192G3756G435G2424G3004G846G2036G2573G2036G3754G2192G3756G43518For you have had five husbands, and the man you are now living with is not your husband. In this you have spoken truly.G1063G2192G4002G435G2532G3739G2192G3568G2192G2076G3756G4675G435G5124G2046G22719The woman said to Him, Sir, I see {and} understand that You are a prophet.G1135G3004G846G2962G2334G3754G4771G1488G439620Our forefathers worshiped on this mountain, but you [Jews] say that Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary {and} proper to worship.G2257G3962G4352G1722G5129G3735G2532G5210G3004G3754G1722G2414G2076G5117G3699G1163G435221Jesus said to her, Woman, believe Me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither [merely] in this mountain nor [merely] in Jerusalem.G2424G3004G846G1135G4100G3427G5610G3754G2064G3753G4352G3777G1722G5129G3735G3777G1722G2414G4352G396222You [Samaritans] do not know what you are worshiping [you worship what you do not comprehend]. We do know what we are worshiping [we worship what we have knowledge of and understand], for [after all] salvation comes from [among] the Jews.G5210G4352G1492G3756G3739G1492G3739G2249G4352G3754G4991G2076G1537G245323A time will come, however, indeed it is already here, when the true (genuine) worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth (reality); for the Father is seeking just such people as these as His worshipers.G235G5610G2064G2532G3568G2076G3753G228G4353G4352G3962G1722G4151G2532G225G2532G1063G3962G2212G5108G4352G84624God is a Spirit (a spiritual Being) and those who worship Him must worship {Him} in spirit and in truth (reality).G2316G4151G2532G4352G846G1163G4352G1722G4151G2532G22525The woman said to Him, I know that Messiah is coming, He Who is called the Christ (the Anointed One); and when He arrives, He will tell us everything we need to know {and} make it clear to us.G1135G3004G846G1492G3754G3323G2064G3588G3004G5547G3752G1565G2064G312G2254G395626Jesus said to her, I Who now speak with you am He.G2424G3004G846G1473G2980G4671G151027Just then His disciples came and they wondered (were surprised, astonished) to find Him talking with a woman [a married woman]. However, not one of them asked Him, What are You inquiring about? {or} What do You want? or, Why do You speak with her?G2532G1909G5129G2064G846G3101G2532G2296G3754G2980G3326G1135G3305G3762G2036G5101G2212G2228G5101G2980G3326G84628Then the woman left her water jar and went away to the town. And she began telling the people,G1135G3767G863G846G5201G2532G565G1519G4172G2532G3004G44429Come, see a Man Who has told me everything that I ever did! Can this be [is not this] the Christ? [Must not this be the Messiah, the Anointed One?]G1205G1492G444G3739G2036G3427G3956G3745G4160G2076G3385G3778G554730So the people left the town and set out to go to Him.G3767G1831G1537G4172G2532G2064G4314G84631Meanwhile, the disciples urged Him saying, Rabbi, eat something.G1161G1722G3342G3101G2065G846G3004G4461G531532But He assured them, I have food (nourishment) to eat of which you know nothing {and} have no idea.G1161G2036G846G1473G2192G1035G5315G3739G5210G1492G3756G149233So the disciples said one to another, Has someone brought Him something to eat?G3767G3004G3101G4314G240G5342G3387G5342G846G531534Jesus said to them, My food (nourishment) is to do the will (pleasure) of Him Who sent Me and to accomplish {and} completely finish His work.G2424G3004G846G1699G1033G2076G2443G4160G2307G3992G3165G2532G5048G846G204135Do you not say, It is still four months until harvest time comes? Look! I tell you, raise your eyes and observe the fields {and} see how they are already white for harvesting.G3004G3756G5210G3754G2076G2089G5072G2532G2064G2326G2400G3004G5213G1869G5216G3788G2532G2300G5561G3754G1526G3022G2235G4314G232636Already the reaper is getting his wages [he who does the cutting now has his reward], for he is gathering fruit (crop) unto life eternal, so that he who does the planting and he who does the reaping may rejoice together.G2532G2325G2983G3408G2532G4863G2590G1519G2222G166G2443G2532G4687G2532G2325G5463G367437For in this the saying holds true, One sows and another reaps.G1063G1722G5129G2076G3056G228G3754G243G2076G4687G2532G243G232538I sent you to reap a crop for which you have not toiled. Other men have labored and you have stepped in to reap the results of their work.G1473G649G5209G2325G3739G5210G2872G3756G2872G243G2872G2532G5210G1525G1519G846G2873

The Samaritans

39Now numerous Samaritans from that town believed in {and} trusted in Him because of what the woman said when she declared {and} testified, He told me everything that I ever did.G1161G4183G4541G1537G1565G4172G4100G1519G846G1223G3056G1135G3140G3754G2036G3427G3956G3745G416040So when the Samaritans arrived, they asked Him to remain with them, and He did stay there two days.G3767G5613G4541G2064G4314G846G2065G846G3306G3844G846G2532G3306G1563G1417G225041Then many more believed in {and} adhered to {and} relied on Him because of His personal message [what He Himself said].G2532G4183G4119G4100G1223G846G305642And they told the woman, Now we no longer believe (trust, have faith) just because of what you said; for we have heard Him ourselves [personally], and we know that He truly is the Savior of the world, {the Christ.}G5037G3004G1135G3754G3765G4100G3754G1223G4674G2981G1063G191G846G2532G1492G3754G3778G2076G230G5547G4990G288943But after these two days Jesus went on from there into Galilee--G1161G3326G1417G2250G565G1831G1564G2532G1519G105644Although He Himself declared that a prophet has no honor in his own country.G1063G2424G846G3140G3754G4396G2192G3756G5092G1722G2398G396845However, when He came into Galilee, the Galileans also welcomed Him {and} took Him to their hearts eagerly, for they had seen everything that He did in Jerusalem during the Feast; for they too had attended the Feast.G3767G3753G2064G1519G1056G1057G1209G846G3708G3956G3739G4160G1722G2414G1722G1859G1063G846G2532G2064G1519G1859

Healing a Nobleman’s Son

46So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee, where He had turned the water into wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son was lying ill in Capernaum.G3767G2424G2064G3825G1519G2580G1056G3699G4160G5204G3631G2532G2258G5100G937G3739G5207G770G1722G258447Having heard that Jesus had come back from Judea into Galilee, he went away to meet Him and began to beg Him to come down and cure his son, for he was lying at the point of death.G3778G191G3754G2424G2240G1537G2449G1519G1056G565G4314G846G2532G2065G846G2443G2597G2532G2390G846G5207G1063G3195G59948Then Jesus said to him, Unless you see signs and miracles happen, you [people] never will believe (trust, have faith) at all.G3767G2036G2424G4314G846G3362G1492G4592G2532G5059G4100G3364G410049The king's officer pleaded with Him, Sir, do come down at once before my little child is dead!G937G3004G4314G846G2962G2597G4250G3450G3813G59950Jesus answered him, Go in peace; your son will live! And the man put his trust in what Jesus said and started home.G2424G3004G846G4198G4675G5207G2198G2532G444G4100G3056G3739G2424G2036G846G2532G419851But even as he was on the road going down, his servants met him and reported, saying, Your son lives!G1161G846G2235G2597G846G1401G528G846G2532G518G3004G3754G4675G3816G219852So he asked them at what time he had begun to get better. They said, Yesterday during the seventh hour (about one o'clock in the afternoon) the fever left him.G3767G4441G3844G846G5610G1722G3739G2192G2866G2532G2036G846G3754G5504G1442G5610G4446G863G84653Then the father knew that it was at that very hour when Jesus had said to him, Your son will live. And he and his entire household believed (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Jesus).G3767G3962G1097G3754G1722G1565G5610G1722G3739G2424G2036G846G3754G4675G5207G2198G2532G846G4100G2532G846G3650G361454This is the second sign (wonderwork, miracle) that Jesus performed after He had come out of Judea into Galilee.G5124G3825G1208G4592G2424G4160G2064G1537G2449G1519G1056
