1 Kad razume, dakle, Gospod da su čuli fariseji da Isus više učenika dobija i krštava nego Jovan 2 (Isus pak sam ne krštavaše nego učenici Njegovi), 3 ostavi Judeju, i otide opet u Galileju. 4 A valjalo Mu je proći kroz Samariju. 5 Tako dođe u grad samarijski koji se zove Sihar, blizu sela koje dade Jakov Josifu, sinu svom. 6 A onde beše izvor Jakovljev; i Isus umoran od puta seđaše na izvoru; a beše oko šestog sahata. 7 Dođe žena Samarjanka da zahvati vode; reče joj Isus: Daj mi da pijem. 8 (Jer učenici Njegovi behu otišli u grad da kupe jela.) 9 Reče Mu žena Samarjanka; kako ti, Jevrejin budući, možeš iskati od mene, žene Samarjanke, da piješ? Jer se Jevreji ne mešaju sa Samarjanima. 10 Odgovori Isus i reče joj: Da ti znaš dar Božji, i ko je taj koji ti govori: Daj mi da pijem, ti bi iskala u Njega i dao bi ti vodu živu. 11 Reče Mu žena: Gospode! Ni zahvatiti nemaš čim, a studenac je dubok; odakle ćeš dakle uzeti vodu živu? 12 Eda li si ti veći od našeg oca Jakova, koji nam dade ovaj studenac, i on iz njega pijaše i sinovi njegovi i stoka njegova? 13 Odgovori Isus i reče joj: Svaki koji pije od ove vode opet će ožedneti; 14 a koji pije od vode koju ću mu ja dati neće ožedneti doveka; nego voda što ću mu ja dati biće u njemu izvor vode koja teče u život večni. 15 Reče Mu žena: Gospode! Daj mi te vode da ne žednim niti da dolazim ovamo na vodu. 16 Reče joj Isus: Idi zovni muža svog, i dođi ovamo. 17 Odgovori žena i reče Mu: Nemam muža. Reče joj Isus: Dobro si kazala: Nemam muža; 18 jer si pet muževa imala, i sad koga imaš nije ti muž; to si pravo kazala. 19 Reče Mu žena: Gospode! Vidim da si ti prorok. 20 Oci naši moliše se Bogu na ovoj gori, a vi kažete da je u Jerusalimu mesto gde se treba moliti. 21 Reče joj Isus: Ženo! Veruj mi da ide vreme kad se nećete moliti Ocu ni na ovoj gori ni u Jerusalimu. 22 Vi ne znate čemu se molite; a mi znamo čemu se molimo: jer je spasenje od Jevreja. 23 Ali ide vreme, i već je nastalo, kad će se pravi bogomoljci moliti Ocu duhom i istinom, jer Otac hoće takve bogomoljce. 24 Bog je Duh; i koji Mu se mole, duhom i istinom treba da se mole. 25 Reče Mu žena: Znam da će doći Mesija koji se zove Hristos, kad On dođe kazaće nam sve. 26 Reče joj Isus: Ja sam koji s tobom govorim. 27 I tada dođoše učenici Njegovi, i čuđahu se gde govoraše sa ženom; ali nijedan ne reče: Šta hoćeš? Ili šta govoriš s njom? 28 A žena ostavi sudove svoje i otide u grad i reče ljudima: 29 Hodite da vidite čoveka koji mi kaza sve što sam učinila: da nije to Hristos? 30 Iziđoše, dakle, iz grada i pođoše k Njemu. 31 A učenici Njegovi moljahu Ga, međutim, govoreći: Ravi! Jedi. 32 A On im reče: Ja imam jelo da jedem za koje vi ne znate. 33 Tada učenici govorahu među sobom: Već ako Mu ko donese da jede? 34 A On im reče: Jelo je moje da izvršim volju Onog koji me je poslao, i da svršim Njegov posao. 35 Ne kažete li vi da su još četiri meseca pa će žetva prispeti? Eto, velim vam: podignite oči svoje i vidite njive kako su već žute za žetvu. 36 I koji žnje prima platu, i sabira rod za život večni, da se raduju zajedno i koji seje i koji žnje; 37 jer je u tom istinita beseda da je drugi koji seje a drugi koji žnje. 38 Ja vas poslah da žnjete gde se vi ne trudiste; drugi se trudiše, a vi u posao njihov uđoste. 39 I iz grada onog mnogi od Samarjana verovaše Ga za besedu žene koja svedočaše: Kaza mi sve što sam učinila. 40 Kad dođoše, dakle, Samarjani k Njemu, moljahu Ga da bi ostao kod njih; i onde osta dva dana. 41 I mnogo ih više verova za Njegovu besedu. 42 A ženi govorahu: Sad ne verujemo više za tvoju besedu, jer sami čusmo i poznasmo da je Ovaj zaista spas svetu, Hristos. 43 A posle dva dana iziđe odande, i otide u Galileju: 44 Jer sam Isus svedočaše da prorok na svojoj postojbini nema časti. 45 A kad dođe u Galileju, primiše Ga Galilejci koji behu videli sve što učini u Jerusalimu na praznik; jer i oni idoše na praznik. 46 Dođe pak Isus opet u Kanu galilejsku, gde pretvori vodu u vino. I beše neki carev čovek čiji sin bolovaše u Kapernaumu. 47 Ovaj čuvši da Isus dođe iz Judeje u Galileju, dođe k Njemu i moljaše Ga da siđe i da mu isceli sina; jer beše na samrti. 48 I reče mu Isus: Ako ne vidite znaka i čudesa, ne verujete. 49 Reče Mu carev čovek: Gospode! Siđi dok nije umrlo dete moje. 50 Reče mu Isus: Idi, sin je tvoj zdrav. I verova čovek reči koju mu reče Isus, i pođe. 51 I odmah kad on silažaše, gle, sretoše ga sluge njegove i javiše mu govoreći: Sin je tvoj zdrav. 52 Tada pitaše za sahat u koji mu lakše bi; i kazaše mu: Juče u sedmom sahatu pusti ga groznica. 53 Tada razume otac da beše onaj sahat u koji mu reče Isus: Sin je tvoj zdrav. I verova on i sva kuća njegova. 54 Ovo opet drugo čudo učini Isus kad dođe iz Judeje u Galileju.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
It is nothing new to your ears, beloved, that the Evangelist John, like an eagle, takes a loftier flight, and soars above the dark mist of earth, to gaze with steadier eyes upon the light of truth.

Scripture calls the grace of the Spirit sometimes "Fire," sometimes "Water," showing that these names are not descriptive of its essence, but of its operation; for the Spirit, being Invisible and Simple, cannot be made up of different substances. Now the one John declares, speaking thus, "He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with Fire" ( Matt. iii.

Then, again, withdrawing Himself [from Judæa], He is found in Samaria; on which occasion, too, He conversed with the Samaritan woman, and while at a distance, cured the son of the centurion by a word, saying, "Go thy way, thy son liveth." Afterwards He went up, the second time, to observe the festival day of the passover in Jerusalem; on …

He, for example, who is set down in John, is for dragging Him unto his house, and saith, "Come down, for my child is ready to die." But not so this man; rather he is far superior both to him, and to those who let down the bed through the roof.
