📖 约翰福音 第4章 （简体中文和英文对照）
中文（和合本简体）
1. 主知道法利赛人听见他收门徒施洗比约翰还多，
2. （其实不是耶稣亲自施洗，乃是他的门徒施洗。）
3. 他就离了犹太，又往加利利去。
4. 必须经过撒玛利亚。
5. 于是到了撒玛利亚的一座城，名叫叙加，靠近雅各给他儿子约瑟的那块地。
6. 在那里有雅各井。耶稣因走路困乏，就坐在井旁；那时约有午正。
7. 有一个撒玛利亚的妇人来打水。耶稣对她说：“请给我水喝。”
8. 那时门徒进城买食物去了。
9. 撒玛利亚的妇人对他说：“你既是犹太人，怎么向我一个撒玛利亚妇人要水喝呢？”（原来犹太人和撒玛利亚人没有来往。）
10. 耶稣回答说：“你若知道神的恩赐，和对你说‘给我水喝’的是谁，你必早求他，他也必早给了你活水。”
11. 妇人说：“先生，没有打水的器具，井又深，你从哪里得活水呢？
12. 我们的祖宗雅各将这井留给我们；他自己和儿子并牲畜也都喝这井里的水，难道你比他还大吗？”
13. 耶稣回答说：“凡喝这水的，还要再渴；
14. 人若喝我所赐的水，就永远不渴；我所赐的水，要在他里头成为泉源，直涌到永生。”
15. 妇人说：“先生，请把这水赐给我，叫我不渴，也不用来这么远打水。”
16. 耶稣说：“你去叫你丈夫也到这里来。”
17. 妇人说：“我没有丈夫。”耶稣说：“你说没有丈夫，是不错的；
18. 你已经有过五个丈夫，现在有的并不是你的丈夫，你这话是真的。”
19. 妇人说：“先生，我看出你是先知。
20. 我们的祖宗在这山上礼拜，你们倒说，应当礼拜的地方是在耶路撒冷。”
21. 耶稣说：“妇人，你当信我，时候将到，你们拜父，不在这山上，也不在耶路撒冷。
22. 你们所拜的，你们不知道；我们所拜的，我们知道，因为救恩是从犹太人出来的。
23. 时候将到，如今就是了，那真正拜父的，要用心灵和诚实拜他，因为父要这样的人拜他。
24. 神是个灵，所以拜他的，必须用心灵和诚实拜他。”
25. 妇人说：“我知道弥赛亚（就是那称为基督的）要来，他来了，必将一切的事都告诉我们。”
26. 耶稣说：“这和你说话的就是他！”
（后续：撒玛利亚人信耶稣、耶稣医治大臣的儿子，略。）
English (NIV)
1. Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John—
2. although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples.
3. So he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee.
4. Now he had to go through Samaria.
5. So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
6. Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.
7. When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?”
8. (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.)
9. The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.)
10. Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”
11. “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water?
12. Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”
13. Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again,
14. but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
15. The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.”
16. He told her, “Go, call your husband and come back.”
17. “I have no husband,” she replied. Jesus said to her, “You are right when you say you have no husband.
18. The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true.”
19. “Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet.
20. Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”
21. “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22. You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.
23. Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
24. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
25. The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
26. Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”
