John 4

ut ergo cognovit Iesus quia audierunt Pharisaei quia Iesus plures discipulos facit et baptizat quam Iohannes

When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,

quamquam Iesus non baptizaret sed discipuli eius

(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)

reliquit Iudaeam et abiit iterum in Galilaeam

He left Judæa, and departed again into Galilee.

oportebat autem eum transire per Samariam

And he must needs go through Samaria.

venit ergo in civitatem Samariae quae dicitur Sychar iuxta praedium quod dedit Iacob Ioseph filio suo

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.

erat autem ibi fons Iacob Iesus ergo fatigatus ex itinere sedebat sic super fontem hora erat quasi sexta

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.

venit mulier de Samaria haurire aquam dicit ei Iesus da mihi bibere

There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

discipuli enim eius abierant in civitatem ut cibos emerent

(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

dicit ergo ei mulier illa samaritana quomodo tu Iudaeus cum sis bibere a me poscis quae sum mulier samaritana non enim coutuntur Iudaei Samaritanis

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.

respondit Iesus et dixit ei si scires donum Dei et quis est qui dicit tibi da mihi bibere tu forsitan petisses ab eo et dedisset tibi aquam vivam

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.

dicit ei mulier Domine neque in quo haurias habes et puteus altus est unde ergo habes aquam vivam

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?

numquid tu maior es patre nostro Iacob qui dedit nobis puteum et ipse ex eo bibit et filii eius et pecora eius

Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

respondit Iesus et dixit ei omnis qui bibit ex aqua hac sitiet iterum qui autem biberit ex aqua quam ego dabo ei non sitiet in aeternum

Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

sed aqua quam dabo ei fiet in eo fons aquae salientis in vitam aeternam

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.

dicit ad eum mulier Domine da mihi hanc aquam ut non sitiam neque veniam huc haurire

The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

dicit ei Iesus vade voca virum tuum et veni huc

Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.

respondit mulier et dixit non habeo virum dicit ei Iesus bene dixisti quia non habeo virum

The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:

quinque enim viros habuisti et nunc quem habes non est tuus vir hoc vere dixisti

For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

dicit ei mulier Domine video quia propheta es tu

The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

patres nostri in monte hoc adoraverunt et vos dicitis quia Hierosolymis est locus ubi adorare oportet

Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

dicit ei Iesus mulier crede mihi quia veniet hora quando neque in monte hoc neque in Hierosolymis adorabitis Patrem

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

vos adoratis quod nescitis nos adoramus quod scimus quia salus ex Iudaeis est

Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

sed venit hora et nunc est quando veri adoratores adorabunt Patrem in spiritu et veritate nam et Pater tales quaerit qui adorent eum

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.

spiritus est Deus et eos qui adorant eum in spiritu et veritate oportet adorare

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

dicit ei mulier scio quia Messias venit qui dicitur Christus cum ergo venerit ille nobis adnuntiabit omnia

The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

dicit ei Iesus ego sum qui loquor tecum

Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

et continuo venerunt discipuli eius et mirabantur quia cum muliere loquebatur nemo tamen dixit quid quaeris aut quid loqueris cum ea

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?

reliquit ergo hydriam suam mulier et abiit in civitatem et dicit illis hominibus

The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,

venite videte hominem qui dixit mihi omnia quaecumque feci numquid ipse est Christus

Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

exierunt de civitate et veniebant ad eum

Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

interea rogabant eum discipuli dicentes rabbi manduca

In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.

ille autem dixit eis ego cibum habeo manducare quem vos nescitis

But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.

dicebant ergo discipuli ad invicem numquid aliquis adtulit ei manducare

Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?

dicit eis Iesus meus cibus est ut faciam voluntatem eius qui misit me ut perficiam opus eius

Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

nonne vos dicitis quod adhuc quattuor menses sunt et messis venit ecce dico vobis levate oculos vestros et videte regiones quia albae sunt iam ad messem

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.

et qui metit mercedem accipit et congregat fructum in vitam aeternam ut et qui seminat simul gaudeat et qui metit

And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.

in hoc enim est verbum verum quia alius est qui seminat et alius est qui metit

And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.

ego misi vos metere quod vos non laborastis alii laboraverunt et vos in laborem eorum introistis

I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.

ex civitate autem illa multi crediderunt in eum Samaritanorum propter verbum mulieris testimonium perhibentis quia dixit mihi omnia quaecumque feci

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.

cum venissent ergo ad illum Samaritani rogaverunt eum ut ibi maneret et mansit ibi duos dies

So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.

et multo plures crediderunt propter sermonem eius

And many more believed because of his own word;

et mulieri dicebant quia iam non propter tuam loquellam credimus ipsi enim audivimus et scimus quia hic est vere salvator mundi

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.

post duos autem dies exiit inde et abiit in Galilaeam

Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.

ipse enim Iesus testimonium perhibuit quia propheta in sua patria honorem non habet

For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.

cum ergo venisset in Galilaeam exceperunt eum Galilaei cum omnia vidissent quae fecerat Hierosolymis in die festo et ipsi enim venerant in diem festum

Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilæans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.

venit ergo iterum in Cana Galilaeae ubi fecit aquam vinum et erat quidam regulus cuius filius infirmabatur Capharnaum

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.

hic cum audisset quia Iesus adveniret a Iudaea in Galilaeam abiit ad eum et rogabat eum ut descenderet et sanaret filium eius incipiebat enim mori

When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judæa 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.

dixit ergo Iesus ad eum nisi signa et prodigia videritis non creditis

Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

dicit ad eum regulus Domine descende priusquam moriatur filius meus

The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.

dicit ei Iesus vade filius tuus vivit credidit homo sermoni quem dixit ei Iesus et ibat

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.

iam autem eo descendente servi occurrerunt ei et nuntiaverunt dicentes quia filius eius viveret

And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.

interrogabat ergo horam ab eis in qua melius habuerit et dixerunt ei quia heri hora septima reliquit eum febris

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.

cognovit ergo pater quia illa hora erat in qua dixit ei Iesus filius tuus vivit et credidit ipse et domus eius tota

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.

hoc iterum secundum signum fecit Iesus cum venisset a Iudaea in Galilaeam

This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judæa into Galilee.
