A Shomrom Woman
4:1 When therefore Adonay knew how the Perushim had heardthat Yeshua (ישוע) made and immersed more Talmidim than Yochanan,
4:2 (Though Yeshua (ישוע) himself immersed not, but his Talmidim,)
4:3 He left Yehudah, and departed again into Galil.
4:4 And he must needs go through Shomron.
4:5 Then cometh he to a city of Shomron, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Yaakov gave to his son Yosef.
4:6 Now Yaakov's well was there. Yeshua (ישוע) therefore, being wearied with [his] journey, sat thus on the well: [and] it was about the sixth hour.
4:7 There cometh a woman of Shomron to draw mayim: Yeshua (ישוע) saith unto her, Give Me to drink.
4:8 (For his Talmidim were gone away unto the city to buy okhel (food).
4:9 Then saith the woman of Shomron unto him:
How is it that thou, being a Yehudim, askest drink of Me, which am a woman of Shomron? for the Yehudim have no dealings with the Shomron.
4:10 Yeshua (ישוע) answered and said unto her:
If thou knewest the gift of Elohim (אלהים), and who it is that saith to thee, Give Me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living mayim.
4:11 The woman saith unto him:
Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living mayim?
4:12 Art thou greater than Avinu Yaakov, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
4:13 Yeshua (ישוע) answered and said unto her:
Whosoever drinketh of this mayim shall thirst again:
4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the mayim that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the mayim that I shall give him shall be in him a well of mayim springing up into Chayyei Olam (everlasting life).
4:15 The woman saith unto him:
Sir, give Me this mayim, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
4:16 Yeshua (ישוע) saith unto her:
Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
4:17 The woman answered and said:
I have no husband.
Yeshua (ישוע) said unto her:
Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
4:18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
4:19 The woman saith unto him:
Sir, I perceive that thou art a Navi.
4:20 Avinu worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Yerushalayim is the place where men ought to worship.
4:21 Yeshua (ישוע) saith unto her:
Woman, believe Me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Yerushalayim, worship ha AVI.
4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Yehudim.
4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the AVI in Ruach and in Emet: for ha AVI seeketh such to worship Him.
4:24 Elohim (אלהים) [is] a Ruach: and they that worship him must worship [him] in Ruach and in Emet.
4:25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Moshiach cometh, which is called Moshiach: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
4:26 Yeshua (ישוע) saith unto her:
I that speak unto thee am [he].
4:27 And upon this came his Talmidim, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
4:28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
4:29 Come, see a man, which told Me all things that ever I did: is not this the Moshiach?
4:30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
4:31 In the mean while his Talmidim prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
4:32 But he said unto them, I have okhel (food) to eat that ye know not of.
4:33 Therefore said the Talmidim one to another, Hath any man brought him [ought] to eat?
4:34 Yeshua (ישוע) saith unto them:
My okhel (food) is to do the will of him that sent Me, and to finish his work.
4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and [then] cometh harvest? Hinei, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
4:36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
4:37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
4:38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
4:39 And many of the Shomron of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told Me all that ever I did.
4:40 So when the Shomron were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
4:41 And many more believed because of his own word;
4:42 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard [him] ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Moshiach, the Moshi'a Olam Hazeh.
4:43 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galil.
4:44 For Yeshua (ישוע) himself testified, that a Navi hath no honour in his own country.
4:45 Then when he was come into Galil, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Yerushalayim at the Chag: for they also went unto the Chag.
4:46 So Yeshua (ישוע) came again into kanah of Galil, where he made the mayim wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at K'far-Nachum.
4:47 When he heard that Yeshua (ישוע) was come out of Yehudah into Galil, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
4:48 Then said Yeshua (ישוע) unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
4:49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere My child die.
4:50 Yeshua (ישוע) saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Yeshua (ישוע) had spoken unto him, and he went his way.
4:51 And as he was now going down, his avadim met him, and told [him], saying, Thy son liveth.
4:52 Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
4:53 So the father knew that [it was] at the same hour, in the which Yeshua (ישוע) said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.
4:54 This [is] again the second miracle [that] Yeshua (ישוע) did, when he was come out of Yehudah into Galil.
