John 4

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 When Jesus heard that the Pharisees had found out that he was making and baptising more disciplesthan John-	1 Καθως λοιπον εμαθεν ο Κυριος οτι ηκουσαν οι Φαρισαιοι οτι ο Ιησους πλειοτερους μαθητας καμνει και βαπτιζει παρα ο Ιωαννης-
2 though in fact it was his disciples who baptised, not Jesus himself-	2 αν και ο Ιησους αυτος δεν εβαπτιζεν, αλλ' οι μαθηται αυτου-
3 he left Judaea and went back to Galilee.	3 αφηκε την Ιουδαιαν και απηλθε παλιν εις την Γαλιλαιαν.
4 He had to pass through Samaria.	4 Επρεπε δε να περαση δια της Σαμαρειας.
5 On the way he came to the Samaritan town cal ed Sychar near the land that Jacob gave to his sonJoseph.	5 Ερχεται λοιπον εις πολιν της Σαμαρειας λεγομενην Σιχαρ, πλησιον του αγρου, τον οποιον εδωκεν ο Ιακωβ εις τον Ιωσηφ τον υιον αυτου.
6 Jacob's wel was there and Jesus, tired by the journey, sat down by the wel . It was about the sixth hour.	6 Ητο δε εκει πηγη του Ιακωβ. Ο Ιησους λοιπον κεκοπιακως εκ της οδοιποριας εκαθητο ουτως εις την πηγην. Ωρα ητο περιπου εκτη.
7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, 'Give me something to drink.'	7 Ερχεται γυνη τις εκ της Σαμαρειας, δια να αντληση υδωρ. Λεγει προς αυτην ο Ιησους? Δος μοι να πιω.
8 His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.	8 Διοτι οι μαθηται αυτου ειχον υπαγει εις την πολιν, δια να αγορασωσι τροφας.
9 The Samaritan woman said to him, 'You are a Jew. How is it that you ask me, a Samaritan, forsomething to drink?' -- Jews, of course, do not associate with Samaritans.	9 Λεγει λοιπον προς αυτον η γυνη η Σαμαρειτις? Πως συ, Ιουδαιος ων, ζητεις να πιης παρ' εμου, ητις ειμαι γυνη Σαμαρειτις; Διοτι δεν συγκοινωνουσιν οι Ιουδαιοι με τους Σαμαρειτας.
10 Jesus replied to her: If you only knew what God is offering and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give mesomething to drink,' you would have been the one to ask, and he would have given you living water.	10 Απεκριθη ο Ιησους και ειπε προς αυτην? Εαν ηξευρες την δωρεαν του Θεου, και τις ειναι ο λεγων σοι, Δος μοι να πιω, συ ηθελες ζητησει παρ' αυτου, και ηθελε σοι δωσει υδωρ ζων.
11 'You have no bucket, sir,' she answered, 'and the well is deep: how do you get this living water?	11 Λεγει προς αυτον η γυνη? Κυριε, ουτε αντλημα εχεις, και το φρεαρ ειναι βαθυ? ποθεν λοιπον εχεις το υδωρ το ζων;
12 Are you a greater man than our father Jacob, who gave us this wel and drank from it himself with hissons and his cattle?'	12 μηπως συ εισαι μεγαλητερος του πατρος ημων Ιακωβ, οστις εδωκεν εις ημας το φρεαρ, και αυτος επιεν εξ αυτου και οι υιοι αυτου και τα θρεμματα αυτου;
13 Jesus replied: Whoever drinks this water wil be thirsty again;	13 Απεκριθη ο Ιησους και ειπε προς αυτην? Πας οστις πινει εκ του υδατος τουτου θελει διψησει παλιν?
14 but no one who drinks the water that I shal give wil ever be thirsty again: the water that I shal give wil become a spring of water within, welling up for eternal life.	14 οστις ομως πιη εκ του υδατος, το οποιον εγω θελω δωσει εις αυτον, δεν θελει διψησει εις τον αιωνα, αλλα το υδωρ, το οποιον θελω δωσει εις αυτον, θελει γεινει εν αυτω πηγη υδατος αναβλυζοντος εις ζωην αιωνιον.
15 'Sir,' said the woman, 'give me some of that water, so that I may never be thirsty or come here again todraw water.'	15 Λεγει προς αυτον η γυνη? Κυριε, δος μοι τουτο το υδωρ, δια να μη διψω μηδε να ερχωμαι εδω να αντλω.
16 'Go and call your husband,' said Jesus to her, 'and come back here.'	16 Λεγει προς αυτην ο Ιησους? Υπαγε, καλεσον τον ανδρα σου και ελθε εδω.
17 The woman answered, 'I have no husband.' Jesus said to her, 'You are right to say, "I have nohusband";	17 Απεκριθη η γυνη και ειπε? Δεν εχω ανδρα. Λεγει προς αυτην ο Ιησους? Καλως ειπας οτι δεν εχω ανδρα?
18 for although you have had five, the one you now have is not your husband. You spoke the truth there.'	18 διοτι πεντε ανδρας ελαβες, και εκεινος, τον οποιον εχεις τωρα, δεν ειναι ανηρ σου? τουτο αληθες ειπας.
19 'I see you are a prophet, sir,' said the woman.	19 Λεγει προς αυτον η γυνη? Κυριε, βλεπω οτι συ εισαι προφητης.
20 'Our fathers worshipped on this mountain, though you say that Jerusalem is the place where one oughtto worship.'	20 Οι πατερες ημων εις τουτο το ορος προσεκυνησαν, και σεις λεγετε οτι εν τοις Ιεροσολυμοις ειναι ο τοπος οπου πρεπει να προσκυνωμεν.
21 Jesus said: Believe me, woman, the hour is coming when you wil worship the Father neither on thismountain nor in Jerusalem.	21 Λεγει προς αυτην ο Ιησους? Γυναι, πιστευσον μοι οτι ερχεται ωρα, οτε ουτε εις το ορος τουτο ουτε εις τα Ιεροσολυμα θελετε προσκυνησει τον Πατερα.
22 You worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know; for salvation comes from the Jews.	22 Σεις προσκυνειτε εκεινο το οποιον δεν εξευρετε, ημεις προσκυνουμεν εκεινο το οποιον εξευρομεν, διοτι η σωτηρια ειναι εκ των Ιουδαιων.
23 But the hour is coming -- indeed is already here -- when true worshippers wil worship the Father inspirit and truth: that is the kind of worshipper the Father seeks.	23 Πλην ερχεται ωρα, και ηδη ειναι, οτε οι αληθινοι προσκυνηται θελουσι προσκυνησει τον Πατερα εν πνευματι και αληθεια? διοτι ο Πατηρ τοιουτους ζητει τους προσκυνουντας αυτον.
24 God is spirit, and those who worship must worship in spirit and truth.	24 Ο Θεος ειναι Πνευμα, και οι προσκυνουντες αυτον εν πνευματι και αληθεια πρεπει να προσκυνωσι.
25 The woman said to him, 'I know that Messiah -- that is, Christ -- is coming; and when he comes he wilexplain everything.'	25 Λεγει προς αυτον η γυνη? Εξευρω οτι ερχεται ο Μεσσιας, ο λεγομενος Χριστος? οταν ελθη εκεινος, θελει αναγγειλει εις ημας παντα.
26 Jesus said, 'That is who I am, I who speak to you.'	26 Λεγει προς αυτην ο Ιησους? Εγω ειμαι, ο λαλων σοι.
27 At this point his disciples returned and were surprised to find him speaking to a woman, though noneof them asked, 'What do you want from her?' or, 'What are you talking to her about?'	27 Και επανω εις τουτο ηλθον οι μαθηται αυτου και εθαυμασαν οτι ελαλει μετα γυναικος? ουδεις ομως ειπε, Τι ζητεις; η Τι λαλεις μετ' αυτης;
28 The woman put down her water jar and hurried back to the town to tel the people,	28 Αφηκε λοιπον η γυνη την υδριαν αυτης και υπηγεν εις την πολιν και λεγει προς τους ανθρωπους?
29 'Come and see a man who has told me everything I have done; could this be the Christ?'	29 Ελθετε να ιδητε ανθρωπον, οστις μοι ειπε παντα οσα επραξα? μηπως ουτος ειναι ο Χριστος;
30 This brought people out of the town and they made their way towards him.	30 Εξηλθον λοιπον εκ της πολεως και ηρχοντο προς αυτον.
31 Meanwhile, the disciples were urging him, 'Rabbi, do have something to eat';	31 Εν δε τω μεταξυ οι μαθηται παρεκαλουν αυτον λεγοντες? Ραββι, φαγε.
32 but he said, 'I have food to eat that you do not know about.'	32 Ο δε ειπε προς αυτους. Εγω εχω φαγητον να φαγω, το οποιον σεις δεν εξευρετε.
33 So the disciples said to one another, 'Has someone brought him food?'	33 Ελεγον λοιπον οι μαθηται προς αλληλους? Μηπως τις εφερε προς αυτον να φαγη;
34 But Jesus said: My food is to do the will of the one who sent me, and to complete his work.	34 Λεγει προς αυτους ο Ιησους? Το εμον φαγητον ειναι να πραττω το θελημα του πεμψαντος με και να τελειωσω το εργον αυτου.
35 Do you not have a saying: Four months and then the harvest? Wel , I tel you, look around you, look atthe fields; already they are white, ready for harvest!	35 Δεν λεγετε σεις οτι τεσσαρες μηνες ειναι ετι και ο θερισμος ερχεται; Ιδου, σας λεγω, υψωσατε τους οφθαλμους σας και ιδετε τα χωραφια, οτι ειναι ηδη λευκα προς θερισμον.
36 Already the reaper is being paid his wages, already he is bringing in the grain for eternal life, so thatsower and reaper can rejoice together.	36 Και ο θεριζων λαμβανει μισθον και συναγει καρπον εις ζωην αιωνιον, δια να χαιρη ομου και ο σπειρων και ο θεριζων.
37 For here the proverb holds true: one sows, another reaps;	37 Διοτι κατα τουτο αληθευει ο λογος, οτι αλλος ειναι ο σπειρων και αλλος ο θεριζων.
38 I sent you to reap a harvest you have not laboured for. Others have laboured for it; and you have comeinto the rewards of their labour.	38 Εγω σας απεστειλα να θεριζητε εκεινο, εις το οποιον σεις δεν εκοπιασατε? αλλοι εκοπιασαν, και σεις εισηλθετε εις τον κοπον αυτων.
39 Many Samaritans of that town believed in him on the strength of the woman's words of testimony, 'Hetold me everything I have done.'	39 Εξ εκεινης δε της πολεως πολλοι των Σαμαρειτων επιστευσαν εις αυτον δια τον λογον της γυναικος, μαρτυρουσης οτι μοι ειπε παντα οσα επραξα.
40 So, when the Samaritans came up to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed for two days,and	40 Καθως λοιπον ηλθον προς αυτον οι Σαμαρειται, παρεκαλουν αυτον να μεινη παρ' αυτοις? και εμεινεν εκει δυο ημερας.
41 many more came to believe on the strength of the words he spoke to them;	41 Και πολυ πλειοτεροι επιστευσαν δια τον λογον αυτου,
42 and they said to the woman, 'Now we believe no longer because of what you told us; we have heardhim ourselves and we know that he is indeed the Saviour of the world.'	42 και προς την γυναικα ελεγον, οτι δεν πιστευομεν πλεον δια τον λογον σου? επειδη ημεις ηκουσαμεν, και γνωριζομεν οτι ουτος ειναι αληθως ο Σωτηρ του κοσμου, ο Χριστος.
43 When the two days were over Jesus left for Galilee.	43 Μετα δε τας δυο ημερας εξηλθεν εκειθεν και υπηγεν εις την Γαλιλαιαν.
44 He himself had declared that a prophet is not honoured in his own home town.	44 Διοτι αυτος ο Ιησους εμαρτυρησεν οτι προφητης εν τη πατριδι αυτου δεν εχει τιμην.
45 On his arrival the Galileans received him wel , having seen al that he had done at Jerusalem duringthe festival which they too had attended.	45 Οτε λοιπον ηλθεν εις την Γαλιλαιαν, εδεχθησαν αυτον οι Γαλιλαιοι, ιδοντες παντα οσα εκαμεν εν Ιεροσολυμοις κατα την εορτην? διοτι και αυτοι ηλθον εις την εορτην.
46 He went again to Cana in Galilee, where he had changed the water into wine. And there was a royalofficial whose son was il at Capernaum;	46 Ηλθε λοιπον ο Ιησους παλιν εις την Κανα της Γαλιλαιας, οπου εκαμε το υδωρ οινον. Και ητο τις βασιλικος ανθρωπος, του οποιου ο υιος ησθενει εν Καπερναουμ?
47 hearing that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judaea, he went and asked him to come and cure hisson, as he was at the point of death.	47 ουτος ακουσας οτι ο Ιησους ηλθεν εκ της Ιουδαιας εις την Γαλιλαιαν, υπηγε προς αυτον και παρεκαλει αυτον να καταβη και να ιατρευση τον υιον αυτου? διοτι εμελλε να αποθανη.
48 Jesus said to him, 'Unless you see signs and portents you will not believe!'	48 Ειπε λοιπον ο Ιησους προς αυτον? Εαν δεν ιδητε σημεια και τερατα, δεν θελετε πιστευσει.
49 'Sir,' answered the official, 'come down before my child dies.'	49 Λεγει προς αυτον ο βασιλικος? Κυριε, καταβα πριν αποθανη το παιδιον μου.
50 'Go home,' said Jesus, 'your son wil live.' The man believed what Jesus had said and went on his wayhome;	50 Λεγει προς αυτον ο Ιησους? Υπαγε, ο υιος σου ζη. Και επιστευσεν ο ανθρωπος εις τον λογον, τον οποιον ειπε προς αυτον ο Ιησους, και ανεχωρει.
51 and while he was stil on the way his servants met him with the news that his boy was alive.	51 Ενω δε ουτος ηδη κατεβαινεν, απηντησαν αυτον οι δουλοι αυτου και απηγγειλαν λεγοντες οτι ο υιος σου ζη.
52 He asked them when the boy had begun to recover. They replied, 'The fever left him yesterday at theseventh hour.'	52 Ηρωτησε λοιπον αυτους την ωραν, καθ' ην εγεινε καλητερα. Και ειπον προς αυτον οτι Χθες την εβδομην ωραν αφηκεν αυτον ο πυρετος.
53 The father realised that this was exactly the time when Jesus had said, 'Your son wil live'; and he andal his household believed.	53 Ενοησε λοιπον ο πατηρ οτι εγεινε τουτο κατ' εκεινην την ωραν, καθ' ην ο Ιησους ειπε προς αυτον οτι Ο υιος σου ζη? και επιστευσεν αυτος και ολη η οικια αυτου.
54 This new sign, the second, Jesus performed on his return from Judaea to Galilee.	54 Τουτο παλιν δευτερον θαυμα εκαμεν ο Ιησους, αφου ηλθεν εκ της Ιουδαιας εις την Γαλιλαιαν.
