Amplified Bible Help
4NOW WHEN the Lord knew (learned, became aware) that the Pharisees had been told that Jesus was winning and baptizing more disciples than John--G5613G3767G2962G1097G3754G5330G191G3754G2424G4160G2532G907G4119G3101G2228G2491 2Though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples--G2544G2424G846G907G3756G235G846G3101 3He left Judea and returned to Galilee.G863G2449G2532G565G3825G1519G1056 4It was necessary for Him to go through Samaria.G1161G1163G1330G1223G4540 5And in doing so, He arrived at a Samaritan town called Sychar, near the tract of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.G3767G2064G1519G4172G4540G3004G4965G4139G5564G3739G2384G1325G846G5207G2501 6And 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 7Presently, when a woman of Samaria came along to draw water, Jesus said to her, Give Me a drink--G2064G1135G1537G4540G501G5204G2424G3004G846G1325G3427G4095 8For His disciples had gone off into the town to buy food--G1063G846G3101G565G1519G4172G2443G59G5160 9The 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--G3767G3004G1135G4542G846G4459G4771G5607G2453G154G4095G3844G1700G5607G1135G4542G1063G2453G4798G3756G4798G4541 10Jesus 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.G2424G611G2532G2036G846G1487G1492G1431G2316G2532G5101G2076G3004G4671G1325G3427G4095G4771G302G154G846G2532G302G1325G4671G2198G5204 11She 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?]G1135G3004G846G2962G2192G3777G502G2532G5421G2076G901G4159G3767G2192G2198G5204 12Are 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?G3361G1488G4771G3187G2257G3962G2384G3739G1325G2254G5421G2532G4095G1537G846G846G2532G846G5207G2532G846G2353 13Jesus answered her, All who drink of this water will be thirsty again.G2424G611G2532G2036G846G3956G4095G1537G5127G5204G1372G3825 14But 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.G1161G3739G302G4095G1537G5204G3739G1473G1325G846G1372G1519G165G3364G1372G235G5204G3739G1325G846G1096G1722G846G4077G5204G242G1519G166G2222 15The 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.G1135G3004G4314G846G2962G1325G3427G5124G5204G3363G1372G3363G3366G2064G1759G501 16At this, Jesus said to her, Go, call your husband and come back here.G2424G3004G846G5217G5455G4675G435G2532G2064G1759 17The woman answered, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have spoken truly in saying, I have no husband.G1135G611G2532G2036G2192G3756G435G2424G3004G846G2036G2573G2036G3754G2192G3756G435 18For you have had five husbands, and the man you are now living with is not your husband. In this you have spoken truly.G1063G2192G4002G435G2532G3739G2192G3568G2192G2076G3756G4675G435G5124G2046G227 19The woman said to Him, Sir, I see {and} understand that You are a prophet.G1135G3004G846G2962G2334G3754G4771G1488G4396 20Our forefathers worshiped on this mountain, but you [Jews] say that Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary {and} proper to worship.G2257G3962G4352G1722G5129G3735G2532G5210G3004G3754G1722G2414G2076G5117G3699G1163G4352 21Jesus 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.G2424G3004G846G1135G4100G3427G5610G3754G2064G3753G4352G3777G1722G5129G3735G3777G1722G2414G4352G3962 22You [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.G5210G4352G1492G3756G3739G1492G3739G2249G4352G3754G4991G2076G1537G2453 23A 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.G235G5610G2064G2532G3568G2076G3753G228G4353G4352G3962G1722G4151G2532G225G2532G1063G3962G2212G5108G4352G846 24God is a Spirit (a spiritual Being) and those who worship Him must worship {Him} in spirit and in truth (reality).G2316G4151G2532G4352G846G1163G4352G1722G4151G2532G225 25The 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.G1135G3004G846G1492G3754G3323G2064G3588G3004G5547G3752G1565G2064G312G2254G3956 26Jesus said to her, I Who now speak with you am He.G2424G3004G846G1473G2980G4671G1510 27Just 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?G2532G1909G5129G2064G846G3101G2532G2296G3754G2980G3326G1135G3305G3762G2036G5101G2212G2228G5101G2980G3326G846 28Then the woman left her water jar and went away to the town. And she began telling the people,G1135G3767G863G846G5201G2532G565G1519G4172G2532G3004G444 29Come, 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?]G1205G1492G444G3739G2036G3427G3956G3745G4160G2076G3385G3778G5547 30So the people left the town and set out to go to Him.G3767G1831G1537G4172G2532G2064G4314G846 31Meanwhile, the disciples urged Him saying, Rabbi, eat something.G1161G1722G3342G3101G2065G846G3004G4461G5315 32But He assured them, I have food (nourishment) to eat of which you know nothing {and} have no idea.G1161G2036G846G1473G2192G1035G5315G3739G5210G1492G3756G1492 33So the disciples said one to another, Has someone brought Him something to eat?G3767G3004G3101G4314G240G5342G3387G5342G846G5315 34Jesus 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.G2424G3004G846G1699G1033G2076G2443G4160G2307G3992G3165G2532G5048G846G2041 35Do 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.G3004G3756G5210G3754G2076G2089G5072G2532G2064G2326G2400G3004G5213G1869G5216G3788G2532G2300G5561G3754G1526G3022G2235G4314G2326 36Already 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.G2532G2325G2983G3408G2532G4863G2590G1519G2222G166G2443G2532G4687G2532G2325G5463G3674 37For in this the saying holds true, One sows and another reaps.G1063G1722G5129G2076G3056G228G3754G243G2076G4687G2532G243G2325 38I 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 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.G1161G4183G4541G1537G1565G4172G4100G1519G846G1223G3056G1135G3140G3754G2036G3427G3956G3745G4160 40So when the Samaritans arrived, they asked Him to remain with them, and He did stay there two days.G3767G5613G4541G2064G4314G846G2065G846G3306G3844G846G2532G3306G1563G1417G2250 41Then many more believed in {and} adhered to {and} relied on Him because of His personal message [what He Himself said].G2532G4183G4119G4100G1223G846G3056 42And 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.}G5037G3004G1135G3754G3765G4100G3754G1223G4674G2981G1063G191G846G2532G1492G3754G3778G2076G230G5547G4990G2889 43But after these two days Jesus went on from there into Galilee--G1161G3326G1417G2250G565G1831G1564G2532G1519G1056 44Although He Himself declared that a prophet has no honor in his own country.G1063G2424G846G3140G3754G4396G2192G3756G5092G1722G2398G3968 45However, 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 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.G3767G2424G2064G3825G1519G2580G1056G3699G4160G5204G3631G2532G2258G5100G937G3739G5207G770G1722G2584 47Having 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.G3778G191G3754G2424G2240G1537G2449G1519G1056G565G4314G846G2532G2065G846G2443G2597G2532G2390G846G5207G1063G3195G599 48Then Jesus said to him, Unless you see signs and miracles happen, you [people] never will believe (trust, have faith) at all.G3767G2036G2424G4314G846G3362G1492G4592G2532G5059G4100G3364G4100 49The king's officer pleaded with Him, Sir, do come down at once before my little child is dead!G937G3004G4314G846G2962G2597G4250G3450G3813G599 50Jesus answered him, Go in peace; your son will live! And the man put his trust in what Jesus said and started home.G2424G3004G846G4198G4675G5207G2198G2532G444G4100G3056G3739G2424G2036G846G2532G4198 51But even as he was on the road going down, his servants met him and reported, saying, Your son lives!G1161G846G2235G2597G846G1401G528G846G2532G518G3004G3754G4675G3816G2198 52So 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.G3767G4441G3844G846G5610G1722G3739G2192G2866G2532G2036G846G3754G5504G1442G5610G4446G863G846 53Then 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).G3767G3962G1097G3754G1722G1565G5610G1722G3739G2424G2036G846G3754G4675G5207G2198G2532G846G4100G2532G846G3650G3614 54This is the second sign (wonderwork, miracle) that Jesus performed after He had come out of Judea into Galilee.G5124G3825G1208G4592G2424G4160G2064G1537G2449G1519G1056
