1 Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that he was winning and baptizing more followers than John was. 2 But Jesus' disciples were really the ones doing the baptizing, and not Jesus himself.
Jesus and the Samaritan Woman
3 Jesus left Judea and started for Galilee again. 4 This time he had to go through Samaria, 5 and on his way he came to the town of Sychar. It was near the field that Jacob had long ago given to his son Joseph. 6-8 The well that Jacob had dug was still there, and Jesus sat down beside it because he was tired from traveling. It was noon, and after Jesus' disciples had gone into town to buy some food, a Samaritan woman came to draw water from the well.
Jesus asked her, “Would you please give me a drink of water?”
9 “You are a Jew,” she replied, “and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink of water when Jews and Samaritans won't have anything to do with each other?”
10 Jesus answered, “You don't know what God wants to give you, and you don't know who is asking you for a drink. If you did, you would ask me for the water that gives life.”
11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you don't even have a bucket, and the well is deep. Where are you going to get this life-giving water? 12 Our ancestor Jacob dug this well for us, and his family and animals got water from it. Are you greater than Jacob?”
13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will get thirsty again. 14 But no one who drinks the water I give will ever be thirsty again. The water I give will become in that person a flowing fountain that gives eternal life.”
15 The woman replied, “Sir, please give me a drink of that water! Then I won't get thirsty and have to come to this well again.”
16 Jesus told her, “Go and bring your husband.”
17-18 The woman answered, “I don't have a husband.”
“That's right,” Jesus replied, “you're telling the truth. You don't have a husband. You have already been married five times, and the man you are now living with isn't your husband.”
19 The woman said, “Sir, I can see that you are a prophet. 20 My ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews say Jerusalem is the only place to worship.”
21 Jesus said to her:
Believe me, the time is coming when you won't worship the Father either on this mountain or in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans don't really know the one you worship. But we Jews do know the God we worship, and by using us, God will save the world. 23 But a time is coming, and it is already here! Even now the true worshipers are being led by the Spirit to worship the Father according to the truth. These are the ones the Father is seeking to worship him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship God must be led by the Spirit to worship him according to the truth.
25 The woman said, “I know that the Messiah will come. He is the one we call Christ. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
26 “I am that one,” Jesus told her, “and I am speaking to you now.”
27 The disciples returned about this time and were surprised to find Jesus talking with a woman. But none of them asked him what he wanted or why he was talking with her.
28 The woman left her water jar and ran back into town, where she said to the people, 29 “Come and see a man who told me everything I have ever done! Could he be the Messiah?” 30 Everyone in town went out to see Jesus.
31 While this was happening, Jesus' disciples were saying to him, “Teacher, please eat something.”
32 But Jesus told them, “I have food you don't know anything about.”
33 His disciples started asking each other, “Has someone brought him something to eat?”
34 Jesus said:
My food is to do what God wants! He is the one who sent me, and I must finish the work that he gave me to do. 35 You may say there are still four months until harvest time. But I tell you to look, and you will see that the fields are ripe and ready to harvest.
36 Even now the harvest workers are receiving their reward by gathering a harvest that brings eternal life. Then everyone who planted the seed and everyone who harvests the crop will celebrate together. 37 So the saying proves true, “Some plant the seed, and others harvest the crop.” 38 I am sending you to harvest crops in fields where others have done all the hard work.
39 A lot of Samaritans in that town put their faith in Jesus because the woman had said, “This man told me everything I have ever done.” 40 They came and asked him to stay in their town, and he stayed on for two days.
41 Many more Samaritans put their faith in Jesus because of what they heard him say. 42 They told the woman, “We no longer have faith in Jesus just because of what you told us. We have heard him ourselves, and we are certain that he is the Savior of the world!”
Jesus Heals an Official's Son
(Matthew 8.5-13Luke 7.1-10)43-44 Jesus had said, “Prophets are honored everywhere, except in their own country.” Then two days later he left 45 and went to Galilee. The people there welcomed him, because they had gone to the festival in Jerusalem and had seen everything he had done.
46 While Jesus was in Galilee, he returned to the village of Cana, where he had turned the water into wine. There was an official in Capernaum whose son was sick. 47 And when the man heard that Jesus had come from Judea, he went and begged him to keep his son from dying.
48 Jesus told the official, “You won't have faith unless you see miracles and wonders!”
49 The man replied, “Lord, please come before my son dies!”
50 Jesus then said, “Your son will live. Go on home to him.” The man believed Jesus and started back home.
51 Some of the official's servants met him along the road and told him, “Your son is better!” 52 He asked them when the boy got better, and they answered, “The fever left him yesterday at one o'clock.”
53 The boy's father realized that at one o'clock the day before, Jesus had told him, “Your son will live!” So the man and everyone in his family put their faith in Jesus.
54 This was the second miracle that Jesus worked after he left Judea and went to Galilee.
IV.
K. Jezus Samarijā.
1 Kad Kungs izzynōja, ka farizejim asūt stōsteits, ka Jezus īgyun vairōk mōcekļu un vairōk nūkrista na kai Jōņs, 2 lai gon na pats Jezus, bet Jō mōcekli kristeja.
3 Tad Jys, atstōjis Judeju, nūgōja uz Galileju.
4 Jam beja jōīt pōri Samarijai. 5 Jys atgōja natōli nu samarīšu mīsta, kuru sauce Sichar, klōt pi teiruma, kuru Jākubs atvēlēja sovam dālam Jezupam. 6 Tur beja Jākuba oka. Jezus, nu ceļa nūguris, pi okas apsāda. Tys beja ap sastū stuņdi.
7 Te atgōja vīna samarīte yudiņa smaltu. Jezus tai saceja: īdūd maņ dzert. 8 Jō mōcekli beja aizgōjuši uz mīstu pōrtykas nūpērktu.
9 Bet sīvīte samarīte Jam saceja: Kai tad tu, jūds byudams, prosi nu manis, sīvītes, kas asu samarīte, dzert? (jūdi tadei ar samarīšim sadareigi nadzeivōja). 10 Jezus jai atbyldādams saceja: Jo tu pazeitu Dīva dōvonu un kas ir Tys, kas tev soka: Dūd maņ dzert, tad gon tu poša praseitu, un Jys tev īdūtu dzeivū yudini. 11 Kungs, saceja sīvīte, tev tadei nava ar kū īsmeļt, bet oka ir dziļa. Kur tad tu jimsi dzeivū yudini? 12 Vai tu esi lelōks par myusu tāvu Jākubu, kurs mums šū oku īdeve, un nu jōs dzēre i pats, i jō bārni, i jō gonomi pulki.
13 Jezus atbyldādams jai saceja: Ikvīns, kas šytū yudini dzer, otkon slōpst, 14 bet kas dzers yudini, kuru Es jam īdūšu, tys myužam vairs naslōps, jo yudiņs, kuru Es jam īdūšu, paliks jamā par strūklojūšū uz myužeigū dzeivi yudiņa olūtu. 15 Sīvīte Jam saceja: Kungs, īdūd maņ tō yudiņa, ka es naslōptu, un ka maņ vairs navajadzatu īt uz šenīni smaltu. 16 Jezus jai saceja: Ej, pasauc sovu veiru un atej šur. 17 Sīvīte atbiļdēja un saceja: Maņ veira navā. Jezus tai saceja: Tu labi soki, ka tev navā veira, 18 tev gon beja pīci veiri, un tys, ar kuru tagad dzeivoj, navā tovs veirs. Šyte tu pasaceji taisneibu. 19 Sīvīte Jam saceja: Kungs, es radzu, ka tu esi pravīts. 20 Myusu tāvi tadei lyudzēs vērs šō kolna, bet jyus sokat, ka Jeruzalemā asūt tei vīta, kur vajag Dīvu lyugt. 21 Jezus atbiļdēja: Tici Maņ, sīvīt, ka tyvojās stuņde, kad ni Jeruzalemā, ni vērs šō kolna jyus Tāvam gūda naatdūsit. 22 Jyus atdūdat gūdu tam, kō nazynot, mes atdūdam gūdu tam, kū zynom: Pesteišona tadei nōk nu jūdim. 23 Bet jau tyvojās stuņde, un jei ir jau patlaban te, kod eistī gūdynōtōji atdūs Tāvam gūdu gorā un patīseibā. Un Tāvs taidu Jō gūdynōtōju grib. 24 Dīvs ir Gors, un tōpēc tim, kas Jū gūdynoj, jōgūdynoj gorā un patīseibā. 25 Sīvīte Jam saceja: Es zynu, ka atīs Mesiass, kuru sauc Kristus; un kad Jys atīs, tad vysu mums pasludynōs. 26 Jezus jai atbiļdēja: Es asmu Tys, kas ar tevi runoju.
27 Tamā breidī atgōja mōcekli un breinōjōs, ka Jys runojās ar sīvīti. Tūmār nivīns navaicōja: Kō Tu gribi, vai ari: Kū Tu ar jū runoj? 28 Sīvīte, atstōjuse sovus yudiņa traukus, aizgōja uz mīstu un īdzeivōtōjim saceja: 29 Ejte un apskotit cylvāku, kurs maņ vysu izstōsteja, kū beju darejuse. Vai tys nav tik Kristus? 30 Un tī, izgōjuši nu mīsta, atgōja pi Jō.
31 Tam laikam mōcekli Jū pīrunōja: Mōceitōj, ēd. 32 Bet Jys tim atbiļdēja: Maņ ēsšonai ir pōrtyka, kuras jyus nazynot. 33 Mōcekli sovā storpā saceja: Vai tad Jam kas ēst ir atnesis? 34 Jezus tim saceja: Muna pōrtyka ir piļdeit Tō vaļu, kas Mani syuteja, un Jō lītu izvest leidz golam. 35 Vai tad jyus nasokot: Par četri mēneši byus klōt pļōves laiks? Raug, Es jums soku: Pacelit uz augšu jyusu acis un apskotit teirumus, ka jī jau pļōvei ir bolti. 36 Raug, pļōvējs jau sajam atmoksu un krōj augļus myužeigai dzeivei; lai, kai sējējs, tai ari pļōvējs reizē varātu prīcōtīs. 37 Šite ir pīmārojams sokamvōrds: Vīns ir sējējs, ūtrs — pļōvējs. 38 Es jyusus syutu tō savōktu, par kū naasat pyulējušīs; dorbu ir pastrōdōjuši citi, un jyus asat jūs dorbā īgōjuši.
39 Daudzeji tō mīsta samarīši Jam īticēja, jo sīvīte apgolvōja: Jys maņ pastōsteja vysu, kū es beju darejuse. 40 Samarīši, atgōjuši pi Jō, lyudze, ka Jys pi jim palyktu. 41 Un Jys tur palyka divi dīnas. Un vēļ daudzejī Jō mōceibas dēļ Jam īticēja. 42 Jī sīvītei saceja: Tagad mes natycam tovas līceibas dēļ, bet gon poši Jū dzērdējom un pōrsalīcynōjom, ka Tys ir eistyn pasauļa Pesteitōjs.
K. Jezus Galilejā.
43 Pēc divejom dīnom Jys nu turīnes izgōja un aizgōja uz Galileju. 44 Un Jezus pats līcynōja, ka nivīns pravīts sovā dzimtinē nateik cīneits. 45 Kad Jys īgōja Galilejā, galilejīši Jū pījēme ar prīcu, jo jī vysu zynōja, kū Jys svātku laikā Jeruzalemā padareja, jo ari jī ap svātkim beja tur aizgōjuši.
46 Tai tad Jys otkon atgōja uz Galilejas Kanu, kur yudini par veinu beja pōrvērtis. Kafarnaumā gulēja slyms vīna vērsinīka dāls. 47 Izdzērdis, ka Jezus nu Judeas atgōjis uz Galileju, tys atgōja pi Jō un lyudze, ka Jys aizītu un padareitu vasalu jō dālu, jo tys jau beja tyvu pi mēršonas. 48 Jezus tam saceja: Jo naredzēsit zeim’u un breinumu, jyus naticēsit. 49 Vērsinīks lyudze: Kungs, aizej, koleidz muns dāls vēļ navā miris. 50 Jezus jam saceja: Ej, tovs dāls dzeivoj.
51 Tys cylvāks īticēja vōrdim, kurus Jezus saceja, un aizgōja. Uz ceļa jam aizgōja prīškā jō kolpi un saceja: Tovs dāls dzeivoj. 52 Tad jys praseja, kurā stuņdē jam ir sōcis byut lobōk. Tī jam atbiļdēja: Vakar ap septeitū stuņdi karstīne jū atstōja. 53 Tad tāvs pazyna, ka tei ir tei poša stuņde, kurā Jezus jam saceja: Tovs dāls dzeivoj. Un jys reizē ar vysu sovu sātu palyka ticeigs.
54 Šytys ir pēc kōrtas ūtrais breinums, kuru Jezus, nu Judeas uz Galileju atsagrīzis, padareja.
