1 Кад разуме, дакле, Господ да су чули фарисеји да Исус више ученика добија и крштава него Јован
1 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
2 (Исус пак сам не крштаваше него ученици Његови),
2 (although Jesus himself didn’t baptize, but his disciples),
3 остави Јудеју, и отиде опет у Галилеју.
3 he left Judea and departed into Galilee.
4 А ваљало Му је проћи кроз Самарију.
4 He needed to pass through Samaria.
5 Тако дође у град самаријски који се зове Сихар, близу села које даде Јаков Јосифу, сину свом.
5 So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 А онде беше извор Јаковљев; и Исус уморан од пута сеђаше на извору; а беше око шестог сахата.
6 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 Дође жена Самарјанка да захвати воде; рече јој Исус: Дај ми да пијем.
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.”
8 (Јер ученици Његови беху отишли у град да купе јела.)
8 For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
9 Рече Му жена Самарјанка; како ти, Јеврејин будући, можеш искати од мене, жене Самарјанке, да пијеш? Јер се Јевреји не мешају са Самарјанима.
9 The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
10 Одговори Исус и рече јој: Да ти знаш дар Божји, и ко је тај који ти говори: Дај ми да пијем, ти би искала у Њега и дао би ти воду живу.
10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
11 Рече Му жена: Господе! Ни захватити немаш чим, а студенац је дубок; одакле ћеш дакле узети воду живу?
11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that living water?
12 Еда ли си ти већи од нашег оца Јакова, који нам даде овај студенац, и он из њега пијаше и синови његови и стока његова?
12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his children and his livestock?”
13 Одговори Исус и рече јој: Сваки који пије од ове воде опет ће ожеднети;
13 Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again,
14 а који пије од воде коју ћу му ја дати неће ожеднети довека; него вода што ћу му ја дати биће у њему извор воде која тече у живот вечни.
14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never thirst again; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”
15 Рече Му жена: Господе! Дај ми те воде да не жедним нити да долазим овамо на воду.
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw.”
16 Рече јој Исус: Иди зовни мужа свог, и дођи овамо.
16 Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
17 Одговори жена и рече Му: Немам мужа. Рече јој Исус: Добро си казала: Немам мужа;
17 The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘I have no husband,’
18 јер си пет мужева имала, и сад кога имаш није ти муж; то си право казала.
18 for you have had five husbands; and he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”
19 Рече Му жена: Господе! Видим да си ти пророк.
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.
20 Оци наши молише се Богу на овој гори, а ви кажете да је у Јерусалиму место где се треба молити.
20 Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”
21 Рече јој Исус: Жено! Веруј ми да иде време кад се нећете молити Оцу ни на овој гори ни у Јерусалиму.
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
22 Ви не знате чему се молите; а ми знамо чему се молимо: јер је спасење од Јевреја.
22 You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
23 Али иде време, и већ је настало, кад ће се прави богомољци молити Оцу духом и истином, јер Отац хоће такве богомољце.
23 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.
24 Бог је Дух; и који Му се моле, духом и истином треба да се моле.
24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
25 Рече Му жена: Знам да ће доћи Месија који се зове Христос, кад Он дође казаће нам све.
25 The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to us all things.”
26 Рече јој Исус: Ја сам који с тобом говорим.
26 Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”
27 И тада дођоше ученици Његови, и чуђаху се где говораше са женом; али ниједан не рече: Шта хоћеш? Или шта говориш с њом?
27 Just then, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” or, “Why do you speak with her?”
28 А жена остави судове своје и отиде у град и рече људима:
28 So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, and said to the people,
29 Ходите да видите човека који ми каза све што сам учинила: да није то Христос?
29 “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have done. Can this be the Christ?”
30 Изиђоше, дакле, из града и пођоше к Њему.
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
31 А ученици Његови мољаху Га, међутим, говорећи: Рави! Једи.
31 In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
32 А Он им рече: Ја имам јело да једем за које ви не знате.
32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
33 Тада ученици говораху међу собом: Већ ако Му ко донесе да једе?
33 The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”
34 А Он им рече: Јело је моје да извршим вољу Оног који ме је послао, и да свршим Његов посао.
34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.
35 Не кажете ли ви да су још четири месеца па ће жетва приспети? Ето, велим вам: подигните очи своје и видите њиве како су већ жуте за жетву.
35 Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest’? Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, that they are white for harvest already.
36 И који жње прима плату, и сабира род за живот вечни, да се радују заједно и који сеје и који жње;
36 He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.
37 јер је у том истинита беседа да је други који сеје а други који жње.
37 For in this the saying is true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’
38 Ја вас послах да жњете где се ви не трудисте; други се трудише, а ви у посао њихов уђосте.
38 I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
39 И из града оног многи од Самарјана вероваше Га за беседу жене која сведочаше: Каза ми све што сам учинила.
39 From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “He told me everything that I have done.”
40 Кад дођоше, дакле, Самарјани к Њему, мољаху Га да би остао код њих; и онде оста два дана.
40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
41 И много их више верова за Његову беседу.
41 Many more believed because of his word.
42 А жени говораху: Сад не верујемо више за твоју беседу, јер сами чусмо и познасмо да је Овај заиста спас свету, Христос.
42 They said to the woman, “Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
43 А после два дана изиђе оданде, и отиде у Галилеју:
43 After the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.
44 Јер сам Исус сведочаше да пророк на својој постојбини нема части.
44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
45 А кад дође у Галилеју, примише Га Галилејци који беху видели све што учини у Јерусалиму на празник; јер и они идоше на празник.
45 So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.
46 Дође пак Исус опет у Кану галилејску, где претвори воду у вино. И беше неки царев човек чији син боловаше у Капернауму.
46 Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 Овај чувши да Исус дође из Јудеје у Галилеју, дође к Њему и мољаше Га да сиђе и да му исцели сина; јер беше на самрти.
47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.
48 И рече му Исус: Ако не видите знака и чудеса, не верујете.
48 Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”
49 Рече Му царев човек: Господе! Сиђи док није умрло дете моје.
49 The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
50 Рече му Исус: Иди, син је твој здрав. И верова човек речи коју му рече Исус, и пође.
50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
51 И одмах кад он силажаше, гле, сретоше га слуге његове и јавише му говорећи: Син је твој здрав.
51 As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”
52 Тада питаше за сахат у који му лакше би; и казаше му: Јуче у седмом сахату пусти га грозница.
52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.”
53 Тада разуме отац да беше онај сахат у који му рече Исус: Син је твој здрав. И верова он и сва кућа његова.
53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” He believed, as did his whole house.
54 Ово опет друго чудо учини Исус кад дође из Јудеје у Галилеју.
54 This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.

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.
