ULT YHN Chapter 4

4 Then when Jesus knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John 2 (although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples), 3 he left Judea and went back again to Galilee. 4 Now it was necessary for him to go through Samaria. 5 Then he comes to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the piece of land that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6 Now the well of Jacob was there. Then Jesus, having grown weary from the journey, was sitting right beside the well. It was about the sixth hour. 7 A woman from Samaria comes to draw water. Jesus says to her, “Give me to drink,” 8 for his disciples had gone away into the city so that they might buy food. 9 Then the Samaritan woman says to him, “How do you, being a Jew, ask from me to drink, being a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews do not have dealings with Samaritans.) 10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you had known the gift of God and who is the one saying to you, ‘Give me to drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.” 11 The woman says to him, “Sir, you do not have a vessel and the well is deep. From where then do you have the living water? 12 You are not greater, are you, than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, and his sons and his cattle?” 13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone drinking from this water will thirst again, 14 but whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never thirst into eternity. Instead, the water that I will give him will become a fountain of water in him, springing up to eternal life.” 15 The woman says to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I might not thirst and might not come here to draw water.” 16 He says to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.” 17 The woman answered and said to him, “I do not have a husband.” Jesus says to her, “You have rightly said, ‘I do not have a husband,’ 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said is true.” 19 The woman says to him, “Sir, I see that you are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that in Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary to worship.” 21 Jesus says to her, “Believe me, woman, that an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 However, an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for indeed the Father seeks such ones worshiping him. 24 God is spirit, and it is necessary for the ones worshiping him to worship in spirit and truth.” 25 The woman says to him, “I know that Messiah is coming (the one called Christ). When he comes, that one will declare everything to us.” 26 Jesus says to her, “I am, the one speaking to you.”

27 And at this, his disciples came, and they were amazed that he was speaking with a woman. Nevertheless, no one said, “What are you seeking?” or “Why are you speaking with her?” 28 Then the woman left her water pot and went back into the town and says to the men, 29 “Come, see a man who told me all things, as much as I have done. This is not the Christ, is it?” 30 They went out from the town and came to him. 31 In the meantime, the disciples were urging him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.” 32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know.” 33 So the disciples said to each other, “No one brought him to eat, did he?” 34 Jesus says to them, “My food is that I might do the will of the one having sent me and might complete his work. 35 Do you not say, ‘There are still four months, and the harvest comes’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and see the fields, for they are already white for harvest! 36 The one harvesting receives wages and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that the one sowing and the one harvesting might rejoice together. 37 For in this the saying is true, ‘One is the one sowing, and another, the one harvesting.’ 38 I sent you to harvest that on which you have not labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”

39 Now many of the Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the report of the woman, testifying, “He told me all things that I have done.” 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days. 41 And many more believed because of his word. 42 And they said to the woman, “We no longer believe because of your speech, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this one is truly the Savior of the world.”

43 Now after the two days, he departed from there into Galilee; 44 for Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country. 45 When therefore he came into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all the things, as much as he had done in Jerusalem at the festival, for they had also gone to the festival.

46 Then he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine, and there was a certain royal official whose son in Capernaum was ill. 47 He, having heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, went to him and asked that he would come down and heal his son, for he was about to die. 48 Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you would see signs and wonders, you would certainly not believe.” 49 The royal official says to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.” 50 Jesus says to him, “Go. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went away. 51 Now while he was going down, his servants met him and reported to him, saying that his son lives. 52 So he asked from them the hour in which he began to improve. Therefore, they replied to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.” 53 Then the father realized that it was at that hour in which Jesus had said to him, “Your son lives.” And he himself and his whole household believed. 54 Now Jesus again did this second sign, having come from Judea to Galilee.
