Jóhannesarguðspjall 4
Icelandic Bible
4 Er Jesús varð þess vís, að farísear hefðu heyrt, að hann fengi fleiri lærisveina og skírði fleiri en Jóhannes,
2 _ reyndar skírði Jesús ekki sjálfur, heldur lærisveinar hans _
3 þá hvarf hann brott úr Júdeu og hélt aftur til Galíleu.
4 Hann varð að fara um Samaríu.
5 Nú kemur hann til borgar í Samaríu, er Síkar heitir, nálægt þeirri landspildu, sem Jakob gaf Jósef syni sínum.
6 Þar var Jakobsbrunnur. Jesús var vegmóður, og settist hann þarna við brunninn. Þetta var um hádegisbil.
7 Samversk kona kemur að sækja vatn. Jesús segir við hana: "Gef mér að drekka."
8 En lærisveinar hans höfðu farið inn í borgina að kaupa vistir.
9 Þá segir samverska konan við hann: "Hverju sætir, að þú, sem ert Gyðingur, biður mig um að drekka, samverska konu?" [En Gyðingar hafa ekki samneyti við Samverja.]
10 Jesús svaraði henni: "Ef þú þekktir gjöf Guðs og vissir, hver sá er, sem segir við þig: ,Gef mér að drekka,` þá mundir þú biðja hann, og hann gæfi þér lifandi vatn."
11 Hún segir við hann: "Herra, þú hefur enga skjólu að ausa með, og brunnurinn er djúpur. Hvaðan hefur þú þetta lifandi vatn?
12 Ertu meiri en Jakob forfaðir vor, sem gaf oss brunninn og drakk sjálfur úr honum og synir hans og fénaður?"
13 Jesús svaraði: "Hvern sem drekkur af þessu vatni mun aftur þyrsta,
14 en hvern sem drekkur af vatninu, er ég gef honum, mun aldrei þyrsta að eilífu. Því vatnið, sem ég gef honum, verður í honum að lind, sem streymir fram til eilífs lífs."
15 Þá segir konan við hann: "Herra, gef mér þetta vatn, svo að mig þyrsti ekki og ég þurfi ekki að fara hingað að ausa."
16 Hann segir við hana: "Farðu, kallaðu á manninn þinn, og komdu hingað."
17 Konan svaraði: "Ég á engan mann." Jesús segir við hana: "Rétt er það, að þú eigir engan mann,
18 því þú hefur átt fimm menn, og sá sem þú átt nú, er ekki þinn maður. Þetta sagðir þú satt."
19 Konan segir við hann: "Herra, nú sé ég, að þú ert spámaður.
20 Feður vorir hafa tilbeðið Guð á þessu fjalli, en þér segið, að í Jerúsalem sé sá staður, þar sem tilbiðja skuli."
21 Jesús segir við hana: "Trú þú mér, kona. Sú stund kemur, að þér munuð hvorki tilbiðja föðurinn á þessu fjalli né í Jerúsalem.
22 Þér tilbiðjið það, sem þér þekkið ekki. Vér tilbiðjum það, sem vér þekkjum, því hjálpræðið kemur frá Gyðingum.
23 En sú stund kemur, já, hún er nú komin, er hinir sönnu tilbiðjendur munu tilbiðja föðurinn í anda og sannleika. Faðirinn leitar slíkra, er þannig tilbiðja hann.
24 Guð er andi, og þeir, sem tilbiðja hann, eiga að tilbiðja í anda og sannleika."
25 Konan segir við hann: "Ég veit, að Messías kemur _ það er Kristur. Þegar hann kemur, mun hann kunngjöra oss allt."
26 Jesús segir við hana: "Ég er hann, ég sem við þig tala."
27 Í sama bili komu lærisveinar hans og furðuðu sig á því, að hann var að tala við konu. Þó sagði enginn: "Hvað viltu?" eða: "Hvað ertu að tala við hana?"
28 Nú skildi konan eftir skjólu sína, fór inn í borgina og sagði við menn:
29 "Komið og sjáið mann, er sagði mér allt, sem ég hef gjört. Skyldi hann vera Kristur?"
30 Þeir fóru úr borginni og komu til hans.
31 Meðan þessu fór fram, báðu lærisveinarnir hann: "Rabbí, fá þér að eta."
32 Hann svaraði þeim: "Ég hef mat að eta, sem þér vitið ekki um."
33 Þá sögðu lærisveinarnir sín á milli: "Skyldi nokkur hafa fært honum að eta?"
34 Jesús sagði við þá: "Minn matur er að gjöra vilja þess, sem sendi mig, og fullna verk hans.
35 Segið þér ekki: Enn eru fjórir mánuðir, þá kemur uppskeran? En ég segi yður: Lítið upp og horfið á akrana, þeir eru hvítir til uppskeru.
36 Sá sem upp sker, tekur þegar laun og safnar ávexti til eilífs lífs, svo að sá gleðjist, er sáir, og með honum hinn, sem upp sker.
37 Hér sannast orðtakið: Einn sáir, og annar sker upp.
38 Ég sendi yður að skera upp það sem þér hafið ekki unnið við. Aðrir hafa erfiðað, en þér eruð gengnir inn í erfiði þeirra."
39 Margir Samverjar úr þessari borg trúðu á hann vegna orða konunnar, sem vitnaði um það, að hann hefði sagt henni allt, sem hún hafði gjört.
40 Þegar því Samverjarnir komu til hans, báðu þeir hann að staldra við hjá sér. Var hann þar um kyrrt tvo daga.
41 Og miklu fleiri tóku trú, þegar þeir heyrðu hann sjálfan.
42 Þeir sögðu við konuna: "Það er ekki lengur sakir orða þinna, að vér trúum, því að vér höfum sjálfir heyrt hann og vitum, að hann er sannarlega frelsari heimsins."
43 Eftir þessa tvo daga fór hann þaðan til Galíleu.
44 En sjálfur hafði Jesús sagt, að spámaður væri ekki metinn í föðurlandi sínu.
45 Þegar hann kom nú til Galíleu, tóku Galíleumenn honum vel, þar eð þeir höfðu séð allt sem hann gjörði á hátíðinni í Jerúsalem, enda höfðu þeir sjálfir sótt hátíðina.
46 Nú kom hann aftur til Kana í Galíleu, þar sem hann hafði gjört vatn að víni. Í Kapernaum var konungsmaður nokkur, sem átti sjúkan son.
47 Þegar hann frétti, að Jesús væri kominn frá Júdeu til Galíleu, fór hann til hans og bað hann að koma niður eftir og lækna son sinn. En hann var dauðvona.
48 Þá sagði Jesús við hann: "Þér trúið ekki, nema þér sjáið tákn og stórmerki."
49 Konungsmaður bað hann: "Herra, kom þú áður en barnið mitt andast."
50 Jesús svaraði: "Far þú, sonur þinn lifir." Maðurinn trúði því orði, sem Jesús mælti til hans, og fór af stað.
51 En meðan hann var á leiðinni ofan eftir, mættu honum þjónar hans og sögðu, að sonur hans væri á lífi.
52 Hann spurði þá, hvenær honum hefði farið að létta, og þeir svöruðu: "Í gær upp úr hádegi fór hitinn úr honum."
53 Þá sá faðirinn, að það var á þeirri stundu, þegar Jesús hafði sagt við hann: "Sonur þinn lifir." Og hann tók trú og allt hans heimafólk.
54 Þetta var annað táknið, sem Jesús gjörði, þegar hann kom frá Júdeu til Galíleu.

Jesus Talks With a Samaritan Woman
4 Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John(A)— 2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. 3 So he left Judea(B) and went back once more to Galilee.
4 Now he had to go through Samaria.(C) 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.(D) 6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.
7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?”(E) 8 (His disciples had gone into the town(F) to buy food.)
9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan(G) woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.[a])
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”(H)
11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well(I) and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”
13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst.(J) Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water(K) welling up to eternal life.”(L)
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty(M) and have to keep coming here to draw water.”
16 He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”
17 “I have no husband,” she replied.
Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband. 18 The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”
19 “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet.(N) 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain,(O) but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”(P)
21 “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming(Q) when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.(R) 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know;(S) we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.(T) 23 Yet a time is coming and has now come(U) when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit(V) and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit,(W) and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ)(X) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”(Y)
The Disciples Rejoin Jesus
27 Just then his disciples returned(Z) and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?”
28 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did.(AA) Could this be the Messiah?”(AB) 30 They came out of the town and made their way toward him.
31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi,(AC) eat something.”
32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat(AD) that you know nothing about.”
33 Then his disciples said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?”
34 “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will(AE) of him who sent me and to finish his work.(AF) 35 Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.(AG) 36 Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests(AH) a crop for eternal life,(AI) so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. 37 Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’(AJ) is true. 38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”
Many Samaritans Believe
39 Many of the Samaritans from that town(AK) believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”(AL) 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. 41 And because of his words many more became believers.
42 They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”(AM)
Jesus Heals an Official’s Son
43 After the two days(AN) he left for Galilee. 44 (Now Jesus himself had pointed out that a prophet has no honor in his own country.)(AO) 45 When he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival,(AP) for they also had been there.
46 Once more he visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine.(AQ) And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum. 47 When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea,(AR) he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death.
48 “Unless you people see signs and wonders,”(AS) Jesus told him, “you will never believe.”
49 The royal official said, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
50 “Go,” Jesus replied, “your son will live.”
The man took Jesus at his word and departed. 51 While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living. 52 When he inquired as to the time when his son got better, they said to him, “Yesterday, at one in the afternoon, the fever left him.”
53 Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” So he and his whole household(AT) believed.
54 This was the second sign(AU) Jesus performed after coming from Judea to Galilee.

John 4
King James Version
4 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
3 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
4 And he must needs go through Samaria.
5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, 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 water.
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 water?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
33 Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
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.
37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
41 And many more believed because of his own word;
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 Christ, the Saviour of the world.
43 Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
44 For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
45 Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.
51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.
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.
53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.
54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
