Isus i Samarijanka
1Kad je Gospodin saznao da su farizeji čuli kako on, Isus, krsti više učenika nego Ivan, 2iako ih nije on osobno krstio, nego učenici, 3ode iz Judeje i vrati se u pokrajinu Galileju.
4Na putu je morao proći kroz Samariju. 5Došao je do samarijskoga sela Sihara, blizu zemljišta koje je Jakov dao svojemu sinu Josipu. 6Tu se nalazio Jakovljev zdenac. Umoran od dugotrajnog hodanja, Isus je tako sjedio pokraj zdenca. Bilo je to oko podneva. 7Ubrzo zatim dođe po vodu neka Samarijanka i Isus ju zamoli: “Daj mi da se napijem!” 8Bio je sam jer su njegovi učenici otišli u grad kupiti hrane.
9“Ti si Židov, a ja Samarijanka. Kako to da od mene tražiš vode?” upita žena. Židovi se, naime, nisu družili sa Samarijancima.
10Isus odgovori: “Kad bi ti samo znala kakav ti dar nudi Bog i tko sam ja koji te tražim piti, tražila bi od mene žive vode i ja bih ti je dao.”
11“Gospodine, pa ti nemaš ni kabla ni užeta”, reče mu ona, “a zdenac je vrlo dubok. Odakle živa voda? 12Osim toga, zar si veći od našeg praoca Jakova, koji nam je dao ovaj zdenac? Kako možeš nuditi bolju vodu od ove koju su pili on i njegovi sinovi i kojom su napajali stoku?”
13Isus odgovori: “Tko god pije tu vodu, opet će ožednjeti. 14A tko pije vodu koju ću mu ja dati, nikada više neće ožednjeti. Štoviše, ta će voda u njemu postati nepresušnim izvorom koji struji u vječni život.”
15“Gospodine, molim te”, reče žena, “daj mi te vode da više nikad ne ožednim i da ne moram više ovamo dolaziti po vodu!”
16“Idi i dovedi svojeg muža, pa se vrati ovamo!” reče joj Isus.
17“Ali ja nemam muža”, odgovori žena. “Dobro si kazala: nemaš muža!” reče Isus. 18“Jer si imala pet muževa, a nisi vjenčana ni s ovim s kojim sada živiš. Istinu si rekla.”
19“Gospodine,” reče žena, “vidim da si prorok. 20Zašto vi Židovi tvrdite da se Bogu treba klanjati jedino u Jeruzalemu, kad su mu se naši preci klanjali na ovoj gori?”
21Isus joj odgovori: “Vjeruj mi, ženo, dolazi vrijeme kad više neće biti potrebno štovati Oca ni na ovoj planini ni u Jeruzalemu. 22Vi Samarijanci ne znate onoga kojemu se klanjate, a mi Židovi ga znamo jer spasenje dolazi od Židova. 23Ali dolazi vrijeme—već je stiglo—kad će se pravi klanjatelji klanjati Ocu u duhu i istini. Bog želi takve klanjatelje. 24Bog je Duh i oni koji mu se klanjaju moraju mu se klanjati u duhu i istini.”
25“Znam da će jednoga dana doći Mesija, zvani Krist—Pomazanik”, reče žena. “Kada on dođe, sve će nam objasniti.”
26Tada joj Isus reče: “Ja, koji govorim s tobom, sam Mesija.”
27Nato stignu njegovi učenici. Začude se što razgovara sa ženom, ali ga nitko ne upita: “O čemu govoriš?”, ili: “Zašto razgovaraš s njom?” 28Žena tada ostavi svoju posudu kraj zdenca pa ode u grad i svima reče: 29“Dođite vidjeti čovjeka koji mi je rekao sve što sam dosad učinila! Da to nije Krist?” 30I ljudi su dolazili iz grada da ga vide.
31U međuvremenu su ga učenici nudili: “Rabbi, jedi!” 32“Neću,” odgovarao im je, “ja imam hrane za koju vi i ne znate.”
33“Zar mu je netko već donio jelo?” pitali su učenici jedan drugoga.
34Isus im tada objasni: “Moja je hrana činiti volju onoga koji me poslao i dovršiti njegovo djelo. 35Vi kažete da rad na žetvi neće početi dok ne mine ljeto, a to je tek za četiri mjeseca. No pogledajte oko sebe! Prostrana polja bjelasaju se svuda i već su spremna za žetvu. 36Žeteoci će biti dobro plaćeni, a plod njihove žetve su ljudi koji su dobili vječni život. Kakve li radosti i za sijače i za žeteoce! 37Istinita je izreka da jedan sije, a drugi žanje. 38Ja sam vas poslao da žanjete ondje gdje se niste trudili—drugi su naporno radili, a vi ste dobili plod njihova truda.”
Obraćenje Samarijanaca
39Mnogi Samarijanci iz toga grada povjerovali su u njega zbog ženina svjedočanstva: “Rekao mi je sve što sam dosad činila!” 40Kad su Samarijanci došli k njemu, zamolili su ga da ostane kod njih. I ostao je ondje dva dana. 41Tada ih je još mnogo više povjerovalo kad su ga čuli govoriti. 42A ženi su kazali: “Sada vjerujemo jer smo ga i sami čuli, a ne zbog onoga što si nam ti ispričala. On je zaista Spasitelj svijeta!”
Isus iscjeljuje činovnikova sina
43Dva dana nakon toga Isus ode odande u Galileju. 44Sam Isus bijaše rekao da prorok nema časti u vlastitom zavičaju. 45Ali Galilejci su ga lijepo primili jer su za svetkovanja Pashe bili u Jeruzalemu i vidjeli njegova čudesna djela.
46Putujući Galilejom, stigao je u grad Kanu, gdje bijaše pretvorio vodu u vino. U gradu Kafarnaumu bio je neki kraljevski činovnik čiji je sin bio bolestan. 47Kad je čuo da je Isus došao iz Judeje i da putuje kroz Galileju, ode u Kanu te zamoli Isusa da dođe u Kafarnaum i iscijeli mu sina na samrti.
48Isus reče: “Vi zaista nećete vjerovati ne vidite li znakove i čudesa.”
49Kraljevski ga je činovnik preklinjao: “Gospodine, molim te, dođi dok mi dijete nije umrlo!”
50“Idi kući,” reče mu Isus, “sin ti je živ.” Čovjek povjeruje Isusovim riječima i uputi se doma.
51Dok je još bio na putu, susretne svoje sluge koji su nosili vijest da mu je dijete živo. 52Upita ih kada se dječak počeo osjećati bolje, a oni mu rekoše: “Jučer poslijepodne oko jedan sat groznica mu je naglo minula.” 53Otac shvati da je to bilo upravo onda kad mu je Isus rekao: “Sin ti je živ.” Činovnik i svi njegovi ukućani povjeruju u Isusa. 54Bilo je to drugo čudo koje je Isus učinio u Galileji vraćajući se iz Judeje.
1When 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,) 3He left Judæa, and departed again into Galilee. 4And he must needs go through Samaria. 5Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour. 7There 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.) 9Then 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. 10Jesus 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. 11The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? 12Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? 13Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 14But 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. 15The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. 16Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. 17The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: 18For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. 19The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23But 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. 24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 25The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 26Jesus 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? 28The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, 29Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? 30Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
31¶ In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. 32But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. 33Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat? 34Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. 35Say 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. 36And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. 37And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth. 38I 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. 40So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days. 41And many more believed because of his own word; 42And 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. 44For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country. 45Then 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. 46So 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. 47When 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. 48Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. 49The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. 50Jesus 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. 51And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. 52Then 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. 53So 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. 54This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judæa into Galilee.
