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.
Worship is offering praise to Elohim for who He is - the greatness of His person. For what He has done for us - the greatness of His work. When we worship, we are giving to God not asking Him to give something to us. Worship always brings joy to us as well. The Chief end of man is to glorify [praise and honour] Elohim, and to enjoy Him forever. Worship can comes in form of prayer, dance worship, reading a portion of scripture and sing song of worship.
