SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:1–42: Jesus spoke with a woman from Samaria

In this section Jesus spoke to a Samaritan woman who had come to get water from a well. Jesus asked her for a drink of water. The woman was surprised that he spoke to her. Jesus was a Jew, and most Jewish people hated the Samaritans. But Jesus stayed and talked with the woman.

Jesus told the woman that he could give her living water, and he told her that he was the Messiah. The women went back to her town and brought many of the other Samaritan people to Jesus.

It is good to translate the section before giving it a title. Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus brought good news to the hated Samaritan people

The conversation at the well

Paragraph 4:16–18

This paragraph tells how the woman began to believe that Jesus was a prophet: Jesus let her know that he knew her history.

4:16a

Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband

¶ Jesus said to the woman, “Go^(sing) and ask your husband to come with you,
¶ Jesus told her to get her husband

Jesus told her: This quote introducer indicates that Jesus spoke again to the Samaritan woman. See the General Comment on 4:16a–b for another possible word order.

Go, call your husband: The Greek word that the BSB translates as call means “invite.” In some languages it is more natural to use a different verb. For example:

Go get your husband (NCV)

4:16b

and come back.”

and then come back here.”
and return with him.

and come back: Jesus implied that he wanted the woman to bring her husband back with her. In some languages it is more natural to make that information explicit here. For example:

and bring him here (GW)

The Greek verb that the BSB translates as come here is singular and refers to the woman. However, in some languages, you might need to use a plural verb or pronoun to indicate that the woman’s husband should also come.

General Comment on 4:16a–b

In some languages it may be more natural to place the quote introducer in the middle or at the end of the sentence. For example:

‘Go and call your husband,’ said Jesus, ‘and come back here.’ (REB)
