John 4
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
1Ut ergo cognovit Jesus quia audierunt pharisæi quod Jesus plures discipulos facit, et baptizat, quam Joannes
2(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
2(quamquam Jesus non baptizaret, sed discipuli ejus),
3He left Judæa, and departed again into Galilee.
3reliquit Judæam, et abiit iterum in Galilæam.
4And he must needs go through Samaria.
4Oportebat autem eum transire per Samariam.
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.
5Venit ergo in civitatem Samariæ, quæ dicitur Sichar, juxta prædium quod dedit Jacob Joseph filio suo.
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.
6Erat autem ibi fons Jacob. Jesus ergo fatigatus ex itinere, sedebat sic supra fontem. Hora erat quasi sexta.
7There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
7Venit mulier de Samaria haurire aquam. Dicit ei Jesus: Da mihi bibere.
8(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
8(Discipuli enim ejus abierant in civitatem ut cibos emerent.)
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.
9Dicit ergo ei mulier illa Samaritana: Quomodo tu, Judæus cum sis, bibere a me poscis, quæ sum mulier Samaritana? non enim coutuntur Judæi Samaritanis.
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.
10Respondit Jesus, 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.
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?
11Dicit ei mulier: Domine, neque in quo haurias habes, et puteus altus est: unde ergo habes aquam vivam?
12Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
12Numquid tu major es patre nostro Jacob, qui dedit nobis puteum, et ipse ex eo bibit, et filii ejus, et pecora ejus?
13Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
13Respondit Jesus, et dixit ei: Omnis qui bibit ex aqua hac, sitiet iterum; qui autem biberit ex aqua quam ego dabo ei, non sitiet in æternum:
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.
14sed aqua quam ego dabo ei, fiet in eo fons aquæ salientis in vitam æternam.
15The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
15Dicit ad eum mulier: Domine, da mihi hanc aquam, ut non sitiam, neque veniam huc haurire.
16Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
16Dicit ei Jesus: Vade, voca virum tuum, et veni huc.
17The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
17Respondit mulier, et dixit: Non habeo virum. Dicit ei Jesus: Bene dixisti, quia non habeo virum;
18For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
18quinque enim viros habuisti, et nunc, quem habes, non est tuus vir: hoc vere dixisti.
19The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
19Dicit ei mulier: Domine, video quia propheta es tu.
20Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
20Patres nostri in monte hoc adoraverunt, et vos dicitis, quia Jerosolymis est locus ubi adorare oportet.
21Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
21Dicit ei Jesus: Mulier, crede mihi, quia venit hora, quando neque in monte hoc, neque in Jerosolymis adorabitis Patrem.
22Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
22Vos adoratis quod nescitis: nos adoramus quod scimus, quia salus ex Judæis est.
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.
23Sed venit hora, et nunc est, quando veri adoratores adorabunt Patrem in spiritu et veritate. Nam et Pater tales quærit, qui adorent eum.
24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
24Spiritus est Deus: et eos qui adorant eum, in spiritu et veritate oportet adorare.
25The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
25Dicit ei mulier: Scio quia Messias venit (qui dicitur Christus): cum ergo venerit ille, nobis annuntiabit omnia.
26Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
26Dicit ei Jesus: Ego sum, qui loquor tecum.
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?
27Et continuo venerunt discipuli ejus, et mirabantur quia cum muliere loquebatur. Nemo tamen dixit: Quid quæris? aut, Quid loqueris cum ea?
28The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
28Reliquit ergo hydriam suam mulier, et abiit in civitatem, et dicit illis hominibus:
29Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
29Venite, et videte hominem qui dixit mihi omnia quæcumque feci: numquid ipse est Christus?
30Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
30Exierunt ergo de civitate et veniebant ad eum.
31¶ In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
31Interea rogabant eum discipuli, dicentes: Rabbi, manduca.
32But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
32Ille autem dicit eis: Ego cibum habeo manducare, quem vos nescitis.
33Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
33Dicebant ergo discipuli ad invicem: Numquid aliquis attulit ei manducare?
34Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
34Dicit eis Jesus: Meus cibus est ut faciam voluntatem ejus qui misit me, ut perficiam opus ejus.
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.
35Nonne vos dicitis quod adhuc quatuor menses sunt, et messis venit? Ecce dico vobis: levate oculos vestros, et videte regiones, quia albæ sunt jam ad messem.
36And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
36Et qui metit, mercedem accipit, et congregat fructum in vitam æternam: ut et qui seminat, simul gaudeat, et qui metit.
37And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
37In hoc enim est verbum verum: quia alius est qui seminat, et alius est qui metit.
38I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
38Ego misi vos metere quod vos non laborastis: alii laboraverunt, et vos in labores eorum introistis.
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.
39Ex civitate autem illa multi crediderunt in eum Samaritanorum, propter verbum mulieris testimonium perhibentis: Quia dixit mihi omnia quæcumque feci.
40So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
40Cum venissent ergo ad illum Samaritani, rogaverunt eum ut ibi maneret. Et mansit ibi duos dies.
41And many more believed because of his own word;
41Et multo plures crediderunt in eum propter sermonem ejus.
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.
42Et mulieri dicebant: Quia jam non propter tuam loquelam credimus: ipsi enim audivimus, et scimus quia hic est vere Salvator mundi.
43¶ Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
43Post duos autem dies exiit inde, et abiit in Galilæam.
44For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
44Ipse enim Jesus testimonium perhibuit, quia propheta in sua patria honorem non habet.
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.
45Cum ergo venisset in Galilæam, exceperunt eum Galilæi, cum omnia vidissent quæ fecerat Jerosolymis in die festo: et ipsi enim venerant ad diem festum.
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.
46Venit ergo iterum in Cana Galilææ, ubi fecit aquam vinum. Et erat quidam regulus, cujus filius infirmabatur Capharnaum.
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.
47Hic cum audisset quia Jesus adveniret a Judæa in Galilæam, abiit ad eum, et rogabat eum ut descenderet, et sanaret filium ejus: incipiebat enim mori.
48Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
48Dixit ergo Jesus ad eum: Nisi signa et prodigia videritis, non creditis.
49The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
49Dicit ad eum regulus: Domine, descende priusquam moriatur filius meus.
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.
50Dicit ei Jesus: Vade, filius tuus vivit. Credidit homo sermoni quem dixit ei Jesus, et ibat.
51And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him , saying, Thy son liveth.
51Jam autem eo descendente, servi occurrerunt ei, et nuntiaverunt dicentes, quia filius ejus viveret.
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.
52Interrogabat ergo horam ab eis in qua melius habuerit. Et dixerunt ei: Quia heri hora septima reliquit eum febris.
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.
53Cognovit ergo pater, quia illa hora erat in qua dixit ei Jesus: Filius tuus vivit; et credidit ipse et domus ejus tota.
54This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judæa into Galilee.
54Hoc iterum secundum signum fecit Jesus, cum venisset a Judæa in Galilæam.
