Juan 4
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Si Jesus at ang Babaeng Taga-Samaria
4 1-2 Nabalitaan ng mga Pariseo na mas marami na ang mga tagasunod ni Jesus kaysa kay Juan, at mas marami na ang nabautismuhan niya. (Kahit na hindi mismong si Jesus ang nagbabautismo kundi ang mga tagasunod niya.) Nang malaman ni Jesus na nabalitaan ito ng mga Pariseo, 3 umalis siya sa Judea at bumalik sa Galilea. 4 Para makabalik sa Galilea, kailangan niyang dumaan sa Samaria.
5 Nang dumadaan na sila sa Samaria, dumating sila sa isang bayan na tinatawag na Sycar, malapit sa lupaing ibinigay ni Jacob sa anak niyang si Jose. 6 May balon doon na ginawa ni Jacob. Dahil tanghaling-tapat na noon at pagod na si Jesus sa paglalakbay, umupo siya sa tabi ng balon para magpahinga. 7-8 Tumuloy naman ang mga tagasunod niya sa bayan upang bumili ng pagkain. Habang nakaupo si Jesus, dumating ang isang babaeng taga-Samaria para umigib. Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Pwede bang makiinom?” 9 Sumagot ang babae, “Kayo po ay isang Judio at ako ay Samaritano, at babae pa.[a] Bakit po kayo makikiinom sa akin?” (Sinabi niya ito dahil hindi nakikitungo ang mga Judio sa mga Samaritano.) 10 Sinabi ni Jesus sa babae, “Kung alam mo lang ang ipinagkakaloob ng Dios, at kung sino ang nakikiinom sa iyo, baka ikaw pa ang manghingi sa akin para bigyan kita ng tubig na nagbibigay-buhay.” 11 Sinabi ng babae, “Malalim po ang balon at wala kayong pang-igib. Saan po kayo kukuha ng tubig na nagbibigay-buhay? 12 Higit pa po ba kayo sa ating ninuno na si Jacob na humukay ng balong ito? Siya at ang mga anak niya, pati ang mga hayop niya ay dito umiinom noong araw.” 13 Sumagot si Jesus, “Ang lahat ng umiinom ng tubig na itoʼy muling mauuhaw, 14 pero ang sinumang iinom ng tubig na ibibigay ko ay hindi na muling mauuhaw. Dahil ang tubig na ibibigay ko ay magiging tulad ng isang bukal sa loob niya na magbibigay ng buhay na walang hanggan.” 15 Sinabi ng babae, “Bigyan nʼyo po ako ng tubig na sinasabi nʼyo upang hindi na ako muling mauhaw at hindi ko na kailangan pang pumarito para umigib.” 16 Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Umuwi ka muna at isama mo rito ang iyong asawa.” 17 “Wala po akong asawa,” sagot ng babae. Sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus, “Tama ang sinabi mo na wala kang asawa, 18 dahil lima na ang naging asawa mo, at ang kinakasama mo ngayon ay hindi mo tunay na asawa. Nagsasabi ka nga ng totoo.” 19 Sumagot ang babae, “Sa tingin ko, isa po kayong propeta. 20 Ang aming mga ninuno ay sumamba sa Dios sa bundok na ito, pero kayong mga Judio ay nagsasabi na sa Jerusalem lang dapat sumamba ang mga tao.” 21 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Maniwala ka sa akin; darating ang panahon na hindi na kayo sasamba sa Ama sa bundok na ito o sa Jerusalem. 22 Kayo na mga Samaritano ay hindi nakakakilala sa sinasamba ninyo. Ngunit kilala naming mga Judio ang aming sinasamba, dahil sa pamamagitan namin ay ililigtas ng Dios ang mga tao. 23 Tandaan mo, darating ang panahon, at narito na nga, na ang mga tunay na sumasamba ay sasamba sa Ama sa espiritu at katotohanan. Ganito ang uri ng mga sumasamba na hinahanap ng Ama. 24 Ang Dios ay espiritu, kaya ang sumasamba sa kanya ay dapat sumamba sa pamamagitan ng espiritu at katotohanan.”
25 Sinabi ng babae, “Nalalaman ko pong darating ang Mesias na tinatawag ding Cristo. At pagdating niya, ipapaliwanag niya sa amin ang lahat ng bagay.” 26 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Akong nagsasalita sa iyo ngayon ang tinutukoy mo.”
27 Nang sandaling iyon, dumating ang mga tagasunod ni Jesus. Nagtaka sila nang madatnan nilang nakikipag-usap siya sa isang babae. Pero wala ni isa man sa kanila ang nagtanong kung ano ang kailangan niya, at hindi rin sila nagtanong kay Jesus kung bakit nakikipag-usap siya sa babae.
28 Iniwan ng babae ang kanyang banga, bumalik sa bayan at sinabi sa mga taga-roon, 29 “Halikayo! Ipapakita ko sa inyo ang taong alam na alam ang lahat ng ginawa ko! Maaaring siya na nga ang Cristo.” 30 Kaya pinuntahan ng mga tao si Jesus.
31 Samantala, pinapakiusapan ng mga tagasunod niya si Jesus na kumain na. 32 Pero sumagot si Jesus, “May pagkain akong hindi ninyo alam.” 33 Kaya nagtanungan ang mga tagasunod niya, “May nagdala kaya sa kanya ng pagkain?” 34 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Ang pagkain ko ay ang pagsunod sa kalooban ng nagsugo sa akin at ang pagtupad sa kanyang ipinapagawa. 35 Hindi ba sinasabi nʼyo na apat na buwan pa bago ang anihan? Ngunit sinasabi ko sa inyo, anihan na. Tingnan nʼyo ang mga taong dumarating, para silang mga pananim sa bukid na hinog na at pwede nang anihin! 36 Kayong mga tagapag-ani ay tatanggap ng gantimpala mula sa Dios. At ang mga taong inaani ninyo ay bibigyan niya ng buhay na walang hanggan. Kaya magkasamang matutuwa ang nagtanim ng salita ng Dios at ang nag-ani. 37 Totoo ang kasabihang, ‘Iba ang nagtatanim at iba rin ang umaani.’ 38 Sinugo ko kayo upang anihin ang hindi ninyo itinanim. Iba ang nagtanim ng salita ng Dios, at kayo ang umaani ng kanilang pinaghirapan.”
Maraming Samaritano ang Sumampalataya
39 Maraming Samaritano sa bayang iyon ang sumampalataya kay Jesus dahil sa sinabi ng babae na alam ni Jesus ang lahat ng ginawa niya. 40 Kaya pagdating ng mga Samaritano kay Jesus, hiniling nila na manatili muna siya roon sa kanila. At nanatili nga siya sa kanila ng dalawang araw.
41 Dahil sa pangangaral niya, marami pa sa kanila ang sumampalataya. 42 Sinabi ng mga tao sa babae, “Sumasampalataya kami ngayon hindi lang dahil sa sinabi mo sa amin ang tungkol sa kanya, kundi dahil sa narinig namin mismo sa kanya. At alam naming siya nga ang Tagapagligtas ng mundo.”
Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Anak ng Isang Opisyal
43 Pagkatapos ng dalawang araw na pamamalagi roon ni Jesus, umalis siya papuntang Galilea. 44 (Si Jesus mismo ang nagsabi na ang isang propeta ay hindi iginagalang sa sarili niyang bayan.) 45 Nang dumating siya sa Galilea, malugod siyang tinanggap ng mga tao, dahil naroon sila sa Jerusalem noong Pista ng Paglampas ng Anghel at nakita nila ang lahat ng ginawa niya roon.
46 Muling bumalik si Jesus sa bayan ng Cana sa Galilea kung saan ginawa niyang alak ang tubig. Doon ay may isang opisyal ng pamahalaan na ang anak na lalaki ay may sakit at nasa Capernaum. 47 Nang mabalitaan niyang bumalik si Jesus sa Galilea mula sa Judea, pinuntahan niya ito. Nakiusap siya kay Jesus na pumunta sa Capernaum at pagalingin ang anak niyang nag-aagaw-buhay. 48 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Hanggaʼt hindi kayo nakakakita ng mga himala at kababalaghan, hindi kayo maniniwala sa akin.” 49 Sumagot ang opisyal, “Sumama na po kayo sa akin bago mamatay ang anak ko.” 50 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Pwede ka nang umuwi. Magaling na ang anak mo.” Naniwala ang opisyal sa sinabi ni Jesus at umuwi siya. 51 Habang nasa daan pa lang ay sinalubong na siya ng mga alipin niya at sinabi sa kanya na magaling na ang anak niya. 52 Kaya tinanong niya kung anong oras ito gumaling. Sumagot sila, “Kahapon po ng mga ala-una ng hapon ay nawala na ang lagnat niya.” 53 Naalala ng opisyal na nang oras ding iyon ay sinabi sa kanya ni Jesus na magaling na ang anak niya. Kaya siya at ang buong pamilya niya ay sumampalataya kay Jesus.
54 Ito ang ikalawang himala na ginawa ni Jesus sa Galilea pagkagaling niya sa Judea.

John 4
New King James Version
A Samaritan Woman Meets Her Messiah
4 Therefore, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and (A)baptized more disciples than John 2 (though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples), 3 He left Judea and departed again to Galilee. 4 But He needed to go through Samaria.
5 So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that (B)Jacob (C)gave to his son Joseph. 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.
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.” 8 For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
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 (D)Jews have no dealings with (E)Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the (F)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 (G)living water.”
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? 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?”
13 Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, 14 but (H)whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him (I)will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
15 (J)The woman said to Him, “Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
17 The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.”
Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.”
19 The woman said to Him, “Sir, (K)I perceive that You are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped on (L)this mountain, and you Jews say that in (M)Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship.”
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming (N)when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 You worship (O)what you do not know; we know what we worship, for (P)salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will (Q)worship the Father in (R)spirit (S)and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 (T)God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
25 The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah (U)is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, (V)He will tell us all things.”
26 Jesus said to her, (W)“I who speak to you am He.”
The Whitened Harvest
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?”
28 The woman then left her waterpot, went her way into the city, and said to the men, 29 “Come, see a Man (X)who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?” 30 Then they went out of the city and came to Him.
31 In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
32 But He said to them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.”
33 Therefore the disciples said to one another, “Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?”
34 Jesus said to them, (Y)“My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to (Z)finish His work. 35 Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes (AA)the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, (AB)for they are already white for harvest! 36 (AC)And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that (AD)both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37 For in this the saying is true: (AE)‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; (AF)others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”
The Savior of the World
39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him (AG)because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all that I ever did.” 40 So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they urged Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. 41 And many more believed because of His own (AH)word.
42 Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of what you said, for (AI)we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed [a]the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
Welcome at Galilee
43 Now after the two days He departed from there and went to Galilee. 44 For (AJ)Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country. 45 So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, (AK)having seen all the things He did in Jerusalem at the feast; (AL)for they also had gone to the feast.
A Nobleman’s Son Healed
46 So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee (AM)where He had made the water wine. And there was a certain [b]nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. 48 Then Jesus said to him, (AN)“Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe.”
49 The nobleman said to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies!”
50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your son lives.” So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way. 51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, “Your son lives!”
52 Then he inquired of them the hour when he got better. And they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.” 53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” And he himself believed, and his whole household.
54 This again is the second sign Jesus did when He had come out of Judea into Galilee.
John 4
English Standard Version
Jesus and the Woman of Samaria
4 Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and (A)baptizing more disciples than John 2 (although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples), 3 he left Judea and departed (B)again for Galilee. 4 (C)And he had to pass through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the field (D)that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob's well was there; so Jesus, (E)wearied as he was from his journey, was sitting beside the well. It was about the sixth hour.[a]
7 A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, (F)“Give me a drink.” 8 (For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.) 9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?” ((G)For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) 10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you (H)living water.” 11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? 12 (I)Are you greater than our father Jacob? (J)He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.” 13 Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14 but (K)whoever drinks of the water that I will give him (L)will never be thirsty again.[b] The water that I will give him will become (M)in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” 15 The woman said to him, “Sir, (N)give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, (O)call your husband, and come here.” 17 The woman answered him, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband’; 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.” 19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that (P)you are (Q)a prophet. 20 (R)Our fathers worshiped on (S)this mountain, but you say that (T)in Jerusalem is (U)the place where people ought to worship.” 21 Jesus said to her, (V)“Woman, believe me, (W)the hour is coming when (X)neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. 22 (Y)You worship what you do not know; (Z)we worship what we know, for (AA)salvation is (AB)from the Jews. 23 But (AC)the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father (AD)in spirit and (AE)truth, for the Father (AF)is seeking such people to worship him. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” 25 The woman said to him, “I know that (AG)Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, (AH)he will tell us all things.” 26 Jesus said to her, (AI)“I who speak to you am he.”
27 Just then (AJ)his disciples came back. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you seek?” or, “Why are you talking with her?” 28 So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man (AK)who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?” 30 They went out of the town and were coming to him.
31 Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, saying, (AL)“Rabbi, eat.” 32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.” 33 So the disciples said to one another, (AM)“Has anyone brought him something to eat?” 34 Jesus said to them, (AN)“My food is (AO)to do the will of him who sent me and (AP)to accomplish his work. 35 Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that (AQ)the fields are white for harvest. 36 Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that (AR)sower and (AS)reaper (AT)may rejoice together. 37 For here the saying holds true, (AU)‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap (AV)that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, (AW)and you have entered into their labor.”
39 Many Samaritans (AX)from that town believed in him (AY)because of (AZ)the woman's testimony, “He told me all that I ever did.” 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 (BA)because of his word. 42 They said to the woman, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, (BB)and we know that this is indeed (BC)the Savior (BD)of the world.”
43 After (BE)the two days he departed for Galilee. 44 (For Jesus himself had testified (BF)that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.) 45 So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, (BG)having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast. For (BH)they too had gone to the feast.
Jesus Heals an Official's Son
46 So he came again to (BI)Cana in Galilee, (BJ)where he had made the water wine. And at Capernaum there was an official whose son was ill. 47 When this man heard that Jesus (BK)had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. 48 So Jesus said to him, (BL)“Unless you[c] see signs and wonders you will not believe.” 49 The official said to him, “Sir, come down (BM)before my child dies.” 50 Jesus said to him, “Go; your son will live.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went on his way. 51 As he was going down, his servants[d] met him and told him that his son was recovering. 52 So he asked them the hour when he began to get better, and they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour[e] the fever left him.” 53 The father knew that was the hour when Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” And he himself believed, (BN)and all his household. 54 (BO)This was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea to Galilee.
