Chapter 4

1

WHEN therefore Yahuah knew how the Parashiym had heard that Yahusha made and baptized more Talmidiym than Yahuchanon,

2

(Though Yahusha himself baptized not, but his Talmidiym,)

3

He left Yahud, and departed again into Galiyl.

4

And he must needs go through Shomeron.

5

Then came he to a city of Shomeron, which is called Shekar, near to the parcel of ground that Ya`aqov gave to his son Yoceph.

6

Now Ya`aqov's well was there. Yahusha therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

7

There came a woman of Shomeron to draw water: Yahusha said unto her, Give me to drink.

8

(For his Talmidiym were gone away unto the city to buy food.)

9

Then said the woman of Shomeron unto him, How is it that you, being a Yahudiy, ask drink of me, which am a woman of Shomeron? for the Yahudiym have no dealings with the Shomeroniym.

10

Yahusha answered and said unto her, If you knew the gift of Elohiym, and who it is that says to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and he would have given you living water.

11

The woman said unto him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then have you that living water?

12

Are you greater than our father Ya`aqov, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

13

Yahusha answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinks of this water shall thirst again:

14

But whosoever drinks 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 said unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

16

Yahusha said unto her, Go, call your man, and come hither.

17

The woman answered and said, I have no man. Yahusha said unto her, You have well said, I have no man:

18

For you have had five men; and he whom you now have is not your man: in that said you truly.

19

The woman said unto him, Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

20

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

21

Yahusha said unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Yerushalayim, worship the Father.

22

Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for yeshu`ah is of the Yahudiym.

23

But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in ruach and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him.

24

Elohiym is that Ruach: and they that worship him must worship him in Ruach and in truth.

25

The woman said unto him, I know that Mashiach comes, which is called Messiah): when he is come, he will tell us all things.

26

Yahusha said unto her, I that speak unto you am he.

27

And upon this came his Talmidiym, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What do you seek? or, Why do you talk with her?

28

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

29

Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this Ha'Mashiach)?

30

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

31

In the mean while his Talmidiym prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat.

32

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

33

Therefore said the Talmidiym one to another, Has any man brought him ought to eat?

34

Yahusha said unto them, My food 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 comes 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 reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit unto life eternal: that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together.

37

And herein is that saying true, One sows, and another reaps.

38

I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labor: other men labored, and ye are entered into their labors.

39

And many of the Shomeroniym 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 Shomeroniym 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 your saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed Ha'Mashiach, the Savior of the world.

43

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

44

For Yahusha himself testified, that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

45

Then when he was come into Galiyl, the Galiyliym received him, having seen את all the things that he did at Yerushalayim at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.

46

So Yahusha came again into Qanah of Galiyl, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Kapharnachum.

47

When he heard that Yahusha was come out of Yahud into Galiyl, 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 Yahusha unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.

49

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

50

Yahusha said unto him, Go your way; your son lives. And the man believed the word that Yahusha 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, Your son lives.

52

Then inquired 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 Yahusha said unto him, Your son lives: and himself believed, and his whole house.

54

This is again the second miracle that Yahusha did, when he was come out of Yahud into Galiyl.
